Snow Watch Part 2. Return of the Excitement!!!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Apologies to those in Norfolk who may well not be excited any more!!!!
This a continuation of This thread and is for model watching, forecasting and general excitement

Off to look at the models (and get dd up) back in a few minutes with latest thoughts!

Stranded at MILs

west Kent seems to have it (according to the radar) looks like it will swing round to get to eastern Kent in the early evening. Not sure how much though!

Oh Kitten, be so grateful if you could see what it looks like for Braintree? Any hope for us?

She's very nice as MILs go so far! but I'd still rather be home.

central Scotland maybe some showers as they seem to be moving in from the south east some what.

Cheers Kitten. I think we have another chance for Sunday so I won`t put the sleigh away just yet.

tak1ngchances thats beautiful.

Braintree - maybe some, it just seems to be on the edge of a strange snow desert which also seems to be hitting part of south suffolk at the moment.

Still snowing girls went out again after lunch into back garden so deep

Thanks v much for the Braintree update. The sky is so dark - it has to snow!!

sunday has snow warnings out for some

Thanks OYBBK!

Fingers crossed Imogen.

(Im exhausted!! work was mad and the anticipation of the past few days has finally got to me I think!)

Dhs parents were meant to come down to us tomorrow from hull dont think they will make it

Picking up a bit now in sheffield after silly dandruff all morning. Anyone know what to expect in sheffield for the rest of the weekend? I want loads

That is the problem with snow, it does bugger up plans rather!

Snowing again here in W Manchester but no real depth settling!

OYBBK - "Manchester people, it just teases around your area - sorry. I think you will get some this afternoon/evening, but not a whole load. "
Any chance of a last minute change in wind direction . Every time the Met office updates, they predict snow going on longer this afternoon ( at first was snow until 12.00, then 15.00 now 18.00) Is this a good sign?

10cms in West Sussex and snowing again :)

I think it will push more into your area arti this evening. No guarantees, but it does seem to be heading that way.

arti I'm in S Cheshire and ours is showing the same as yours. Bloody useless. It's actually melting here already, just to add insult to injury!

We got a text from DDs 2&3's primary school at 1.30 saying that they were getting concerned about the state of the roads around the school (small school on the edge of a village) and to come and pick up children NOW! So I went to pick them up and then got DD1 at 2.20 (who finishes at that time on a Friday anyway) and we've just got home after a fairly difficult journey home. The main roads are getting a covering now and the traffic's bad as everyone's leaving early.
I'm so ready for a hot chocolate!

Measured here just north of Chichester all across the garden and we have an average of 19cm/ 8 inches, with it much deeper in the drifts!

We went out sledging this morning but it has set in a bit cold and deep now. The dog went into the garden for a wee and when she tried to squat disappeared into the snow - only her head and back could be seen!

A child is sitting in the snow on our green in front of the house. You can only see her chest upwards.

I'm so glad for your advice this morning, OYBBK! I was sad to miss the globe trip but we would never have got home. It has snowed solidly since I woke up at 7am. We're at the bottom of a fairly steep hill and the only cars getting up are 4x4s.

Bit of meltage going on in Wandsworth BUT it is making icicles on the roofs which is v pretty

Just got back from sledging , all good fun but I am now freezing and ready for a coffee .

I am in west Sussex and I haven't been able to work today , is it going to improve over the weekend ? I am local tomorrow so will walk but Sunday I am expected to drive again . What are the chance please kitten ? Horsham area by the way .

2 inches of snow in just over an hour here, just outside of Newcastle. Loving it. Had to make an emergency shopping trip (for Budwieser) my car was like a tabbogan on the way home.
