Drago's snow watch alert stand by readiness defcon 1 action stations code red reporting photo thread

[Bonefish Blues]

Got stir crazy so went for a well-protected walk in the persistently persisting rain. Walking back in full-on drowned rat mode, but warm and dry on the inside, a couple stopped and offered me a lift, which I thought was a very kind gesture, given I would have completely soaked their car if I'd have accepted.

Big snow potential next week with the Siberian Shuffle set to blow in from the east. Get your cameras charged up !

Certainly looking like a country wide weather event of some epic scale. But as usual until it's been and gone we can't judge.

Just had a Grade 1 Death Kill Storm Alert on the telly. Apparently 10cm now counts as "severe snowfall". What are these people sniffing?

There’s “risk of death and damage to property” in Kent tomorrow.

The white powder falling is not snow?

1985 or so IIRC - I remember driving between snow banks like that as I drove to Stratford on the A3400, trying to get to Birmingham.

The Beast From The East seems to have given Shepherds Bush a wide berth. I was rather looking forward to buying some Heattech Extra Warm long johns.

I remember it was really cold in 85/6/7. (can't remember exactly which) I lived on the 9th floor of a 'towerblock' and the ice from condensation just built up on the inside of the window to about 5 inches thick at the bottom despite the flat being warm enough to get out of the bath and sit naked whilst I dried my hair, I think Leicester got down to -22 degrees C
