Arctic conditions are already gripping North America where an extreme cold weather alert has been issued from New York to Toronto and some people are suffering from frostbite. Weatherman Paul Knightley said cold air from the north mixing with an 'active' mild weather system from the Atlantic would bring the snowfalls. 'On Wednesday night and Thursday morning a much more active weather system comes in from the South West,' he said. 'Overnight Wednesday and Thursday morning are going to see quite a significant band of sleet and snow into south west England and South Wales and eventually by morning across much of Wales into the Midlands and into the London area and southern England as well as the South East.' He continued: 'The snow will be potentially disruptive in London because it is predicted for rush hour and is going to cause some significant disruption, I think. 'It will probably be some of the heaviest snow in the last couple of years in the London area.' The Met Office issued an early warning of severe weather. A statement said: 'The Met Office is expecting a period of heavy snow to develop across south-west England and much of Wales during Wednesday night and this is expected to extend across the Midlands, London, the South East of England and East Anglia during Thursday morning. 'There is also a risk that the snow will extend into parts of northern England for a time before dying away from all areas during Thursday afternoon.' |

Yes I do remember that very vividly! I had driven up to Leicester so my daughter could look round DeMontfort Uni. They had been promising snow for days and it never came, so we drove up in glorious sunshine. At 2pm there was a huge clap of thunder, the heavens opened and then it turned to snow. We left Leicester at 3.15pm, we drove down the M1 and it took us 3 hours just to get off the exit for the M42 which was about a mile (think that's the right road!). Having done this we decided it was probably better to stay on the M1 so went back on it! It was a nightmare as the snow turned to furrows of ice, and I thank the lord that I am an experienced driver and had ABS on my little va va voom! We never got home that night, we ended up staying at a friend's house in London and arrived there at midnight absolutely frazzled! So snow and me aren't exactly the best of pals! |

Where I am in the North West the frost has not cleared all day it is absolutely freezing and getting even colder. Far too cold for snow around here me thinks. I hope it does snow tomorrow though coz our little Meggie loves playing snow ploughs in the back yard when it does she pushes it from one side of the yard to the other with her little nose, bless her.

i'm looking forward to the snow but do hope i do not get stuck like that time 3-4 years ago. i followed a bloke home from work as the m25 was blocked and he took me a way i didn't know and then left me god knows where. i got home at 12.30 ish after leaving work at 4.
anyway if any of you do venture out in the snow be careful geeks and just think we can geek all day if it snows. geek u tomorrow x |
