I so hope not mate, What a blow that would be.

[Long haul to mild]

Word on the model thread is that the snow on Friday won't get past the M1, so could be a non-event here.

Always time for further changes though.

[Eskimo]

Glad you are all right Sam, I did wonder where you were.

[gottolovethisweather]

Holy poo, just read the latest on the recent updates, scary stuff floaty one. Were your kids in the car? They must have been scared onionseless.

Glad you're ok but that bes a lesson for all car drivers, lorry drivers, van drivers and milk float drivers, never forget you are in charge of a deadly weapon each and every time any one of us is behind the wheel.

Right moving on now, the weather is looking very interesting in the coming days, is it not.

Take care all and be lucky.

i got a cunning plan for friday...if we all breath in facing west and breath out facing east we might be able to suck the snow over our way a bit, the same goes for any flatilance caused by over indulging on horse burgers, release east my friends

just watched bbc news there a amber alert for us

It seems that in the space of thirty minutes the Models thread has gone from blizzards everywhere to nothing at all for our region on Friday/Saturday.

All year through, if I want to know the weather three days ahead I look at the local TV forecast for that day and expect (and very frequently get) the opposite - seldom fails. Does anyone else do this?

On this basis tonight's local TV forecast for Saturday of up to 4" of snow seems to guarantee no snow at all - we shall see!

I find the model thread can be a bit bipolar at times!!

FWIW I am expecting zilch from Friday/Saturday; history suggests that the front will die off as it hits the block.

Totally prepared and happy to be wrong though!

Yes just herd that the front is due to split over the UK, Hope we are not left in no mans land ?

Surely that's not going to happen!?
