[Tom Montalbano]

Ok guys, will up date draw after 9 a.m, actually if no-one has an opponent by 9, I'll match you with someone as local as possible.

Regards,

Tom.

Yes mate, I'll pop the full draw up again.

A further little competition for you all. " The London & S.E Snow Depth Cup" ( 1st Round).

Taking Paul S's list order for his sweepstake, I've compiled a draw of matches, based on your snow depths come 21.00 hours Sunday evening. All you need to do is measure your snow depth at that time and post in this thread. NO CHEATING PLEASE.

Winners of each match-up, will go through to the next round. Should no further snowfall oppurtunities occur in our area for the rest of the Winter season, greatest depth of snow at 21.00 hours on Sunday 20th Jan. shall be deemed the overall winner.

Draw is as follows:

Leigh-on-Sea (E) (PAUL SHERMAN) v. Wickford (E) (DANUK) - Low scoring home side could need the aid

of a streamer!

No location? (CWT2012) v. Reigate (Sur) (GREAT PLUM)

Epping (E) (SWASH) v. Little Wakering (E) (ESSEXGOONER)

Brighton (Sus) (WEATHIZARD) v. N.W.Kent ? (KENTSPUR)

Bromley (K) (VERTICAL LIMIT) v. Headington (Ox) (MARK NEAL) - Tough draw VL, might have to concede early depth there!

S.E.Coast? (TAMARA ROAD) v. Bromley (K) (BROMLEY PILGRIM)

South Norwood (L) (JAYCES) v. Greenhithe (K) (STEVE MURR) - Stevie, only 1mtr ASL but every chance against a Londoner.

Canary Wharf (L) (CHART VIEWER) v. Coney Hall (K) (BIGGIN).

Remember, measure your depth at 21.00 hrs on Sun and post result. No cheating, no Kentimetres, TOWIEmetres or such like, just cms!

It would be an idea if you and your opponent, keep each other posted on how you are doing depth wise, if any.

Just a bit of fun. Enjoy.

Come on people, get your entries in. Think I'd better make cut off point 9 a.m, as snow starting to settle already!

Regards,

Tom.

Yep, some forecasts don't even have it over east kent... f-f-s

Now it's sunday! Always the way, first it's one day, then it's the next

Looking at the netweather radar the front is pushing through the cold air around tonbridge wells - maybe just maybe.

I hope so *everything crossed*

[CrimsonSunset]

Here we go! Small flakes but lots!

[Coast]

The radar shows it as a beautiful thing and it looks like the front has slowed or stalled a bit over Sussex:

[london-snow]

Getting on a cm already here heavy light flakes falling !

[NYCSnow]

Light snow falling but starting to pick up, with a light dusting already in Shoreham-By-Sea

[Jan_Bromley]

[Hammer]

Ok guys, will up date draw after 9 a.m, actually if no-one has an opponent by 9, I'll match you with someone as local as possible.

[WestSussexSnow]

HI all, first ever post! What a day to do it! Left Littlehampton at 7.15 nothing! Got to Chichester and currently it is blizzard conditions! Yay!

Lets hope the pivot/stall sits right over central London..its my only hope of getting through to the 2nd round up against Biggin

[Crepuscular Ray]

Been snowing here in Kensal Green for about 20 minutes or snow, but not heavily yet. Today may not be an ideal day to have the windows replaced...

[Met4Cast]

This front is deffo goona stall and pivot somehwere.. You can see on Raintoday what it is starting to do..

As long as it pushes in at least 50 miles more I'll be happy!

[frozencanals]

Go on then count me in on the snow depth cup......

[barmybint]

First post of this winter - hi everyone and good luck for oodles of snow. If someone needs a partner in the snow draw, I'm happy to oblige :-)
