Just checked the latest GFS chart run (21:30) and if anyone is interested the forecasting of snow starting has moved forward about 4 hours since the last run.
So from midnight for southern and south east england.
Might mean more in the morning than was expected....... |

Yeah it was - do you own a big shovel
Should be snowing on and off there very shortly - then snow overnight with some breaks and starting in earnest early tomorrow morning again. With a high risk (90%+) for the next 36 hours.

18z showing quite an upgrade for the SW in that we're now expecting it to continue snowing heavily past 18.00 (due to start around 6am)

"I drive a snow plough for a living....so i'll guess i'll have to go in! 
That seems a very limited job. What happens when it doesn't snow?"
It's just a plough then. |

"30% chance of snow till 9pm if it carries on no work for me tomorrow "
thats not bad for the south.. its due to hit the north east overnight and just before the rush hour commute tomorrow morning...
I will have to keep an eye.. in theory i can claim the time back for bad weather, just like we did for the newcastle storms... |

After consulting my collegue who lives locally we have decided the 20 mile journey to work tomorrow is treacherous. So I will be working from home or taking A/L.

I went out to the car today and sat in it for a while doing a bit of 'prep' for Monday's onslaught. I was glad I was going nowhere. The complete covering of snow on all the windows gave me a sense of isolation from the outside world normally only enjoyed by a box of fishfingers.
I opened the door to get out, glad that I could and the locks hadn't frozen, and legged it indoors for a cuppa - a full twenty minutes before my hands got warm again.
And as they say... tomorrow is another day!

ps. pity you poor sods if you're out first thing

I like that muffled, isolated feeling in the car. A strange sensory deprivation. |
