While the Met Office forecasts a mild winter following on from last years barbecue summer, it looks like more snow could be on the way...

LOOK OUT ENGLAND, A BAD MOONS A RISING.

POTENTIAL CRIPPLING SNOWSTORM ON THE HORIZON FOR SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL ENGLAND!


Remember, the issuance of major cold was for Jan 1-10 so this is day 2. Judging by some of my email, people dont understand that Jan 1-10 is not Dec 30. Another unfortunate announcement, I cant answer all email.

But there are some big ticket items showing up including the threat of the biggest snows in england in years later next week ( jan 7-12) as major cold is entrenched in much of Europe north of the Alps and west of Italy by Tuesday.[snip]

This column is not meant to go for individual weather events, but this kind of event could be the winter storm of a life time for alot of northwest Europe

Good. More chaos on the roads, and people whinging about ice being icy. I love the snow.

Hmmm. I think a visit to the shops is in order.

What's actually good in tins? Please don't mention those ghastly pies.

Scotland already got clobbered tonight. If that's a forerunner of things in Englandshire, you're in for a shock biggrin

Olives, Anchovies, Chopped Tomatoes, and Tomato Puree and some forms of Beer are all valid in tins.

If you can find some pasta, a bit of basil, a clove or two of garlic, and a chilli then you're sorted.

Put the food to one side, drink all of the beer, and go to bed in a drunken stupor.

It's a Delia recipe, I think.

Filth has it's place too. smile

However, spotted on a recent trip to Asda for Filth Products, baked beans with meatballs in.

The title? Obvious really - 'Beans with Balls'.

Oh how I laughed.

All skies are cross-country.

Anyhoo, I've checked that site's forecast for London over the next 15 days.

Bitterly cold, but no heavy snowfall.What's the big deal OP?

I've seen a few snow flurries forecast for my area (Newbury / Basingstoke) by a number of weather sites (including Accuweather) for the next week or so, but nothing on the scale that B astardi is talking about. Mind you, he is often correct......

Over the last year, netweather.tv has proven to be very accurate for predicting the weather (snowfall in particular) where I live (Box Hill, Surrey):

I say bring it on. Its nowt we haven't had before. Look at the winters of 1947 and 1962. 20ft snow drifts that brought down power lines and you couldn't leave your house for days....now that's snow. No fancy 4x4s back then either, just a few Austin sevens and morris 1000s.


Now watch as the country descends into some sort of apocalyptic snow storm from hell.
