Can't promise that I'll be able to add as much as I usually do (not very well atm) so its quite likely I might miss stuff but I've added a few thoughts to that thread re the current set up and tis easier if I just keep it in one place.

Phew thanks OYBBK

slarty - am just inferring from looking at the radar and the rough time estimate :)

(and not rough as in beat em up rough - I meant approximate rough!)

Oooh so does that mean this heavy stuff that's over me at the moment is going to hang around for a while? Put it's feet up and get comfy and drop a whole whack on snow on me? :o

ha, misunderstood

• a whole whack = a technical term for at least another 3 or 4cm that is

lubey is skiing terms it's going to dump on you

Excellent. This pleases me :o

for a little while yet lubey :)

But once it's left Lubey it's going to come and dump on us in London, right?

well, not quite lubeys bit - that would be an odd move for the front to make, but essentially yes, London is to be dumped on

What about Dorset??????

Will there be any snow left by the time it gets to me.

I am in the south east on the east coast bit.

there should be plenty damn :) I always get a bit nervous when it comes to coastal locations, temp wise.

boiledegg - sadly dorset is probably out of the running now but ice is going to be a real concern for your area.

Whooop! 5cm :o

tomorrow we are all going to be exhausted from the anticipation!

:(

We rarely get snow. It could be 10 cm up the road and here not a bean.

Why does being near the coast affect the temperature?

Officially (because I have just stuck head out and finger in) 2 inches...and still falling.

sea temps are warmer that the land and can affect the local temp :) sometimes I think that onshore breezes could play a part in that - they are created by the temp difference (but I'm hypothesising on that)

Slarty, I think you're not far from me in East Sussex? Well its just started!

Whoop whoop!

DamnDe because the sea doesn't go below zero so it warms up the air, when places a few miles away might be in the minus figures right on the coast it's more difficult for it to get so cold

sorry boiledegg :(

Well it looks like we're not getting any :( It's raining. South coast near Brighton.
