Daily Mail raving about it again, so it'll probably never happen

First thing I do when I see one of these DM weather stories is go to the BBC weather site and correlate the results. Rarely the same.

Mail always right, then?

London weather: Snow forecast for the capital as temperatures plummet below freezing

Did you read that ?
SNOW.
Stock up on the essentials

Oh no!, Minus 3

If I don't make it to the morning, please feed the fish for me.

[Cold]

Your fish will die unless you put a football in their water. I saw that on Blue Peter once and their tortoise never froze over.

Non of us are interested in your relationship issues. This is about the impending polar vertex weather bomb.

In-laws (Dorchester) predicting the end of the world and stocking up.

Visit to the pub, by way of another 2hr mountain bike ride tonight. Standard.

Meanwhile in California...

Levels at the Oroville damn are rising rapidly due to very heavy rain, but the spillway has been damaged



Managers are being forced to use it anyway to avoid water flowing over the emergency spillway, causing even more damage and erosion.

I'm getting confused now...

Which way should I run?

[King Herald]

We had three minutes of desperately light snow this afternoon, West Midlands. Roads are jammed, supermarket shelves are empty....

...more of the same promised tonight and tomorrow. Oh lord, deliver us from evil...

Head North where the weather doesn't really matter.

Unless you live at the North pole there is always a North

Dammit, you got me there....

[mybrainhurts]

Everyone all right?

Shattering experience up here tonight...totally silent and still, but we got through it all.

I've just had to walk home from the pub in near sub-zero temperatures, dodging snowflakes.

It was 'orrible, make no mistake

That's terrible. TERRIBLE. Biggly terrible. Before Trump you'd expect a good old fashioned lock-in - like The Winchester.



Getting worse here (just north of London where I strongly expect the Thames will have frozen over). After a week of occasional sleet, it looks like proper snowflakes raining down.... I counted MORE THAN THREE!!!

[mybrainhurts]

Courage, mes braves...we will prevail.

[grumbledoak]

It's so bad down here in Bristol that it probably isn't worth washing the car.
