[If Wishes made Weather]

A very chilly -8 here at Stansted this morning.

[Charltonkerry]

Certainly chilly in Dartford this morning temp -4.8 dew point -5.6

Could make getting out our untreated road very interesting.

[john pike]

Very dense fog here this morning.

Not helpful when added to the ice as well.

Low further west and weaker.

Mmmmm

[StLuke]

Temp just wouldn't drop all night here in Southend due to cloud cover, amazing fall however now with clear skies, from -0.7 to -3.6 in space of no more than an hour!!

[snowbob]

Very foggy this morning

The wife has to actually try and get her car out the car park this morning should be fun

Hardly any snow melt at all

Our ice on the road too is well thick

[Great Plum]

Currently -5.5 with a -6 dew point!

[tonbridgemole]

[tonbridgemole]

[Coast]

Hoping the precipitation over NW france gets to us in the southeast?!!

Well who knows frankly?!

Morning all, a steady fall of light snow through the early evening yesterday but not enough to make any impact on the slush/snow that remains on the verges and grass. Hovering just around freezing at home but some dramatic and short drops to -5.0°C over a matter of metres in parts, especially around Lewes.

Going to be a day of radar watching I feel.

Ok, results to 2nd half of draw.

Roll titles and cue music again. This time a snow video for the ladies but I'll turn the volume off as it spoils the scenery!

**All 6 members above progress through to the next round of matches, to replace some matches where both members forfeited**.

Will compile draw later today, for next round of snowfalls , or I could formulate the rest of the competition on a local league basis. Might bring in handicapping based on a members altitude. Would like to know your opinions.

Some very close matches above. Got to give a special mention to my home town, a storming 2nd half performance from all the Bromley teams.

Cheers,

Tom.

wayhaaayyy close, but i edged it

[craigore]

[fluid dynamic]

hi tom

2009 was brill

and was such a quick event but really memorable

think i got nearly a foot from that

your right about the time doing the charts but like you i find it fascinating

keep your eye on that low showing it will make a huge difference to our outlook

if it is modelled wrong

got to go and sleep now but things may surprise later

goodnight all

I measured 39cm on the garden table from that one. Live in Addiscombe at the time (Rymer Road)
