What cold weather?

[Mrs Ava]

Just checked metcheck for this week so I could plan my work and allotment visits, and the forecast is great for this part of the world.  What happened to the snow we were forecasted last week????

[Mrs Ava]

Emma, just watched the weather forecast on News24 and you seem to be getting snow tomorrow and Tuesday around the Home Counties.  We are to get it as well most of the week as has most of England.  I bet it will only be a slight covering, but we have been warned, snow is on the way for most of the country and it will be bitterly cold, so seek out your long johns!!!

;D ;D ;D

Looks like they are over hype-ing the weather again. They say its cold but really its only what we should be getting at this time of year, and not particularly unusualor extreme at all.

I think the weather people tend to generalise about the weather these days, probably to avoid flak when it doesnt turn out how they predict it will. Thing is with rain and wind you can get away with it to a cetain extent, but with things like frost and maybe snow, you cant. These types of weather can be very localised and depend on local conditions to happen or not. For instance we were forecast frost last night, but although it was a colder night, there was no sign of frost this morning, and it didnt feel that cold.

I saw on BBC Breakfast that one of the national newspapers has the front page headline "-9c", suggesting that the whole country will expereince such temperatures this week. This is far too general. OK some might get -9c, some parts of the north might be colder, but others not so cold (i hope). Such headlines are in my veiw sensationalising the weather just to sell copy and should be taken with a big pinch of salt.

My advice would be to forget the national weather picture and concentrate on whats happening local to you. Thats what matters.

Well, what do you know, it poured all morning.  I am soaked through again.  bbbrrr.  Chilly also. Only 3' when I took the children to school.  Working again tomorrow, weather permitting!

Hi

Temperature:  4 deg C here there is some very low lying cloud and you can just see some patches of bright blue behind them.

I am confident we will see snow soon.

We've got snow here in the Pennines, but the sun is shining and it's going gradually. Sorry I can't send it further south ;)
We set off to the allotment yesterday and had to turn back because there was such a blizzard we thought we might not get home again.

[Doris_Pinks]

EJ just to prove it! ;D





see you n the kids around 6???? ;D ;D

[Mrs Ava]

I told them when I picked them up, and they said, 'can we go and see them?'  ;D  Number one son was more interested in your Simpsons game on the PS.  ;D ;D ;D

Bit nippy here but lovely for working in. Changed out of the silk drawers this morning and dug out the long johns, trouble is they have shrunk a bit since I last used them. ;D

[Merry Tiller]

4°c now

[lorna]

Just been out to put the car in the garage........boy has that turned cold,

[Garden Manager]

Sorry but you can keep the snow. I dont want any here thanks! Got enough trouble with the wind at the moment, very strong, and bitterly cold. it has also managed  to blow over and break a clay pot with a pieris growing in it, something all the storms in the past few weeks failed to achieve!

Forecast tonight is for a hard frost, but unless the cloud clears rapidly, that wont be happening. it will be cold, but not frosty.

[Mrs Ava]

BBBBRRRRR.  okay, it is chilly now.  Am going to keep fit club in a moment and have my big wooly jumper on for the journey to the village hall.  bbbrrrr.  Our local forecast is still for a clear, bright sunny day tomorrow.  The children however brought home a note from school telling us to keep an ear out on BBC Essex if snow falls to hear if the school is shut.  bbbrrr
