Three Counties & East Anglia Regional Discussion - January 16th 2013 19:00hrs>

[Snowangel-MK]

Please use this thread for your regional discussions about the current weather or what is being forecast for the next few days in Beds, Bucks, Herts, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Milton Keynes.

These regional threads have been set up to talk about local conditions, and are geared for a more general 'chatty' discussion to give all members a chance to post and discuss the weather within the region and also to enjoy reading informative and occasionally humorous posts.

Yes, first past the post

Edit : pipped at the post

[Me & angel fiance]

Loving my met office update from 6pm tonight showing light snow here from about midday friday right through until 3am sunday at the moment and absolutely no signs of it getting any warmer or showing any rain at all. Sun it shows it hovering between -1 and -3 all day and only precip is shown as snow. Please people don't panic or start the 'it's all over' posts on one BBC forecast which as many have said are using out of date charts. This 'could' like always change again between now and then as we are still over a day away, but keep the faith, keep smiling and I am pretty sure we will all get something out of Fri/Sat/Sun. Major upgrades as far as I can see and nothing to get downhearted about.

Some major ramping going on at the Model Thread for the 10-15 day period! Cant help thinking this could be one of the worst periods of severe winter weather in yonks.

[Snowman.]

Well very nice

[JennyJane1]

i think the burger thing is just someone trying to stirrup trouble

[shotski]

Woof, woof, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFF!!!!

This is going to far now guys, next you'll be saying their hot dogs contain.....Mmmmmmmmm I wonder.

[JennyJane1]

in all seriousness, someone i know who has had a tortoise for over fifty years said this year tortoise has hibernated as deep as it can go so you can't see it at all.In milder winters it has hibernated before with half its shell still exposed.So maybe it knows something?

I'm sure Tesco's will ride out the storm.

Yes being the weekend, more people will be able to enjoy it too, As for the BBC, I don't even bother watching TV forecasts any more as the information on this site tends to be far better

The new packaging for Tesco value burgers:

I have found the BBC, in recent years, to be rather off the mark when forecasting snow events. I only ever really trust them around 24 hours or less out from the event, and even then, they can be rather inaccurate.

Posted by Steve S in the London & SE thread.......

evening ALL- not sure if everyone read my post from this morning-

but my recommended chart was the T60 UKMO PPN - to see of there was any movement west of east of the front-

NOPE SMACK ON

http://www.meteociel...0-594.GIF?16-16

pivoting the same...

Also 2 points of note - again mentioned earlier-

* Removal of Snow to rain sunday- the updated UKMO 12z removes the rain threat from the region Sunday-

This will update on your apps & 5 day outlooks this eve ( as well as TV broadcasts)

* Mid term outlook & outlook to day 6 remains BITTER with more snow

sunday

... COLD DRY & temps around 0 to -3c MAXIMA

monday

... SNOW sliding across the capitol- esp the SW part

Tues

... More snow- winds in the Eastern quadrent so NO atlantic air becoming established--

a cracking eve so far....

My neighbour got rushed to hospital after eating one of these horsemeat infected burgers.

Her condition was said to be stable...

[Dan the Man]

These horse jokes are getting boring now!

[masked_firefly]

Breaking news....

Veggie burgers are now also being taken off the shelves,

It is suspected they have traces of 'uniquorn'

[Snowangel-MK]

These horse jokes are getting boring now!

Yea, maybe we should call it a neigh and concentrate on the weather !

[Eskimo]

These horse jokes are getting boring now!

Why the long face?

[WheresTheSnow]

BBC weather showing continuous light snow from 11am Friday to 12am Saturday night. Is that reliable? Highs of -1 on Friday too! Nice.
