[Kaizen]

i like snow.

I would, too, if it wasn't so cold.

[ajbrun]

I read in the freebie Metro paper on Monday that on Wednesday (tomorrow), it could get to -8 in some parts of the country, and snowey in most of it.

[Yohji]

Never snows here... Well, it did properly, once.

[steve threlfall]

What are you, man or mouse? I drove in the snow last year and it was interesting... The tyres were breaking grip at EVERY opportunity!

Driving to Nottingham not this weekend but the next, hope the weather conditions aren't too adverse then!

Something in between

I drove in the snow around this time last year and then i had only been learning for a month or so. Now wonder then that my dads blood pressure went up, especially as it was his new car

[Howard]

What are you driving now that you've passed then?

[dave87]

My dad wont let me anywhere near his car, let alone the controls. Mind you its not supprising as it is his brand new Porsche.....oww

[Elmo]

argh, i love snow, and i was excited about it but.....



i'm in edinburgh on thursday night and i'd really rather not have to stay there all weekend Hopefully it wont affect buses/trains too much cos i think i'd just cry! I wont have any suitable clothes with me!


p.s. where's my sig?!

[menthel]

Not affect buses and trains too much! You will be lucky. All it takes is for the driver to be unhappy with his packed lunch and the whole systems snarls to a halt!

It just reminds me of the drive home from work last year, normally takes 15 minutes to do the 6 miles, one night last year it took 3 and a half hours. They gritted the roads, it rained and washed away the grit, the temprature plumetted, and the roads froze, then the temp went up slightly and it snowed, all within 2 hours.

if that happens again ill die, not least cos my car has been lethal the past couple of days of ice as it is...

Hehe, thats the funniest comment I read all day!

Why not just pack some suitable clothing? Hmm?

[shelley bda]

I want the school to close in the harsh weather, that means we get paid days off until the school opens again

[camalbitboy]

We get this emailed to us at work. I thought that it was a special forecast we paid for, but its exactly the same as the one on their website after all.

OVERALL RISK ASSESSMENT: The probability of disruption due to
severe weather conditions in part of the United Kingdom within the
next 102 hours is 80 percent.

REGIONAL RISK ASSESSMENT for the occurrence of severe weather
conditions between 06:00 on Thursday 24 November 2005 and 18:00 on
Saturday 26 November 2005.

NORTHERN SCOTLAND 80% Percent
EASTERN SCOTLAND 80% Percent

THE MIDLANDS 30% Percent
WALES 60% Percent
SOUTH WEST ENGLAND 50% Percent
CENTRAL SOUTHERN ENGLAND 30% Percent
SOUTH EAST ENGLAND 40% Percent
EAST ANGLIA and LINCOLNSHIRE 60% Percent

This warning is an update to that issued at 10:45 on Monday 21
November 2005.

The Met Office is forecasting a period of cold and very strong
northerly winds to extend across the UK from Thursday to Saturday,
with all areas at risk of seeing some snow. Current timings suggests
the onset of the very cold weather will be around 0600 Thursday in
Shetland, 1800 Thursday for Northern Ireland across to northern
England, and 2359 Thursday for southern parts.

Areas at highest risk for snow are northern and eastern Scotland,
Northern Ireland and northeast England. In these areas winds will
also reach severe gale force. Showers will fall as snow widely over
high ground where local blizzard conditions are expected giving
significant accumulations of snow with drifting. Snow will also
occur at low levels including more populated areas at times,
especially over the northern half of the UK, where localised
accumulations of a few cm of snow are likely.

Later on Friday and into Saturday, there is a risk of snow affecting
southern and central areas of England. Confidence for this
particular aspect is low to moderate at present and further updates
will be provided.

For enquiries regarding this warning - please contact your regional Met Office.
