north wales is forecast for snow but where I am is sheltered by the Clwydian range so we hardly ever get snow of any significance...
its very windy here though, but I don't care as I'm not out in it |

It is definitely colder here today in the south Wales valleys.
Our forecast is for 2 - 4cm of snow between 10am and 2pm tomorrow.
So I predict total mass panic; bread and milk will be on ration and Facebook will go into meltdown... pathetic really. |

So cold in Hull this morning and a wind that would cut through you!
I was walking home from my GP Surgery, never walked that stretch of street when the wind "helped" me walk it even more quickly than usual! |

"My washing line snapped ...... were you swinging on it xxx
It was only holding my man pants so no real damage done..... Made from nylon?... The line that is not your pants"
I'm old enough to remember the days when nylon under-cracker manufactures made a concerted effort to win the hearts an minds of the average fashion conscious British male....... |

We have some weather warnings in place but it's the gales and wind that does it here. We're right next to the sea so the pier will be closed and will get all the foam coming off the waves and landing on your windscreen when you're driving, also had rocks and stuff coming off the waves. Said there's a small chance of snow but it has to really snow to stick here. |

It has to snow really heavy and really fast for it to stick. The sea waves crash over the main road sometimes and the spray travels further, it puts salt over everything, your car and front windows in the house get crystals on them so yeah it's gotta snow heavy here for a layer to be left on the ground. In 2012 we had snow that was on the beach. |

Yeah the Severn bridge might have to close to high sided vehicles tomorrow, that's what usually happens. |

Apparently the lorry driver ignored or failed to observe the bridge closed to high sided vehicles signals......

I've been caught out by that bridge closure on many occasions, the primary detour is pitiful during rush hour times.... |

It was a bridge TO Edinburgh as opposed to one IN Edinburgh. Now that would have been chaotic.

Road block... Brilliant idea! Tricky to man when they are still allowing cars over though. Perhaps a traffic police car monitoring for rogue lorry drivers and going for then right away |

Thunder snow was so cool when we had it in 2010? 2011? I remember I walked home from work across the Armstrong Bridge in the dark and when the lightning lit up all the snow it was amazing! |

Or how could he miss all other trucks re-diverting. According to media reports, he has been charged with dangerous driving! I only hope he pays for the recovery charges too, maybe he'll think twice in future, that is, if any haulier wants to employ a tw*t like him? |

Actually sugar works just as well, some say even better than salt at stopping water freezing. Problem is it dries a lot more sticky than salt does. |

"There will be a severe storm surge tonight at the coasts and they are evacuating those living close to the sea. "
Shag my little haribo lover!!
I'm in one of those effected areas I found out from a friend in Norfolk about my area. Found out from sky news last night I'm on evacuation notice see lots of forces lads today with cops and coast guards and I'm still at home.
It's not half as bad as they thought it might be so it's been a slight over kill.
Tonight was the highest tide and tomorrow morning luckily the wind was east tonight should it turn west by morning we might have a little problem but not the scale they said.
Although quite gutted the squaddies didn't knock my door |

"1 mm of a dusting of snow and 80 flights get cancelled from Heathrow. I can understand if it was 1 meter of snow, but 1 mm???"
There's a new agreement where rather than waiting for weather to ground flights and being stuck with an airport full of annoyed people , when bad weather is forecast they work out how much this would lower the take off rate etc . They then cancel flights in advance based on this to allow people to make alternative arrangements in advance such as book a spare seat on the next flight |

Tonight was the highest tide and tomorrow morning luckily the wind was east tonight should it turn west by morning we might have a little problem but not the scale they said.
Although quite gutted the squaddies didn't knock my door Yes, I like those haribos, yeah they sometimes take safety too much into consideration , it is good your area aint so bad, will you stay awake to see what is happening?
Noooo will I heck the next high tide isn't till 6 am if I'm in danger I'm sure there would be a knock on the door. " That is good, so you kind of know when it would happen with the tie in the morning, it will be ok I reckon as well. |

"1 mm of a dusting of snow and 80 flights get cancelled from Heathrow. I can understand if it was 1 meter of snow, but 1 mm???
There's a new agreement where rather than waiting for weather to ground flights and being stuck with an airport full of annoyed people , when bad weather is forecast they work out how much this would lower the take off rate etc . They then cancel flights in advance based on this to allow people to make alternative arrangements in advance such as book a spare seat on the next flight "
I am glad that this 'new arrangement' is not the norm in Germany otherwise there won't be any flights taking off anywhere there for the next couple of months |
