Now I have a dentist appointment at 9am in the morning and the dentist travels from Harrow, I wonder if the appointment will still take place

and how about the dream that it was the other way around with the front moving back from the east

Could you imagine?

Would be amazing!

[Suburban Streamer]

shame its overnight and i wont see it.

and also will be gone sunday,so i guess thats why theres not alot of enthusiasm as normal.

ahh snow to thaw in 24 hrs what a terrible waste:(

I know this sounds depressing but it the truth,feb to come,i am sure it will hold more events .

i think i take snow obsession to next levels lol. It might be a shame that its getting milder but a few hours of moderate snow is what i look forward to all year! of course its better when it settles and hangs around but i still get excited about snow falling. perhaps i should get out more hehe.

Many previous winters a snow to rain event like this would have been the highlight of my winter! oh how spoilt we are these days!!

Your not alone. Couldn't care less about the thaw.

To see a few hours of heavy snow falling will make me happy.

Is there anyway on Met Office site, you can zoom to your post code and have the warning overlaid if they apply. It is a bit frustrating that the warnings don't appear to be an overlay you can apply when zoomed in, like what you can do with the radar on Met Office site?

For example and not that it matters to much, but I think I may be just outside the Amber warning, but can't be 100% because can't zoom in...

I think the nearest you can get is this one

no, not that i know of. Although, if you go to five day forecast and type your postcode / town, it shows any applicable warning for each time slot. (tho, as we identified earlier, its a bit slow to update, but seems accurate now)

like this...

NAE looks a peach for our area. Just look at them 18 hr precips.going on that alone 20cm plus could happen. Im shocked as i expected the usual downgrade.....

[Jason T]

Why oh Why. God i wish this mild invasion was a model'd blip. Always the way. Who's up for making a cling film tent for the whole regional thread.

Yeah that's a bit rubbish on what appears they could do. So UK view they apply the Amber, Red or Yellow warning, when you zoom to location to look at radar overlay, surely overlay for warning wouldn't be to hard to show as another option.

Maybe I need to ping Met Office on why they haven't done this yet. Or perhaps they don't want people drilling all way down to post code level and warnings are not meant to be taken quite so micro scale.

[Eskimo]

The warnings overlay is terrible, wheres the amber warning lol?

[pinball wizard]

dont know if this has been posted, but bbc are going to keep us updated with any changes at this link below (last updated 11.55). He said they would be updating it every hour or so...

http://www.bbc.co.uk...atures/21198520

Anyone else noticed that the BBC seem to have really woken up to the fact that there are lots of weather geeks/nutters/ 'enthusiasts'? I think its because of the sites like this that they are really starting to get their act together

Amber Warning of Snow for London & South East England :

Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes valid from 0005 Sat 26 Jan to 0330 Sat 26 Jan

Amber Warning of Snow for East of England :

Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, Bedford, Central Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Luton, Essex, Norfolk & Suffolk

Valid from: 0005 on Sat 26 Jan 2013

Valid to: 0330 on Sat 26 Jan 2013

Snow will continue across parts of eastern England during the early hours of Saturday morning, although it may turn briefly to rain as it clears. Some heavy snowfall may occur, particularly towards the north of the Amber warning area, and across the Chilterns, where 5 to 10 cm of snowfall may accumulate in just 2 or 3 hours. The sleet and snow will ease, then clear before dawn.

The public should be prepared for some disruption, particularly to travel, within the affected area.

Snow according to the met office . . . icy rain according to NetWeather . . not sure I fancy icy rain though

[Summer of 76]

Just noticed that there seems to be different shades of yellow on the map when you move above London, I agree that when you zoom down it's not easy to see the towns below the shading.

[essex coast matt]

Temp down to -0.1 here and still falling and dp -3C with a fresh south wind, not bad for near the seafront this time day.

[Ben_Cambs]

Temperature on the way down here. Maximum of 2.2C, now 1.5C with a DP of -2.4C.

Just had a quick read of the North West regional thread, some of them up there are getting hammered with snow, some reporting that they are experiencing the heaviest falls that they have ever seen.

I have got just about everything crossed that we get a bit of the same later.

Herts highways are fitting ploughs onto gritters, clearly expecting something.
