Snow's Coming

Better to travel tomorrow , Saturday will be worse.

 

There really is the potential, this Saturday and Sunday, for us to see in our area (I'm talking Berks/Bucks/Herts) some of the most snow you've ever seen in this country before. However, I'll believe it when I see it, but the potential is there as I say. If you like snow keep your fingers crossed. There should be heavy snow on Saturday, but as yet Sunday is not 100% if it'll be rain/sleet/snow.

The game on Sat could be abandoned depending on what time the snow arrives! It'll be like Wigan all over again, except with snow this time!

 

Strange set-up for Saturday, could see anything from 5-9 hours of constant snow (moderate to heavy) within these regions. The match will most likely go ahead but could find ourselves playing in very snowy conditions.

 

We could well see some light showers friday morning but i doubt it will amount to much at all although Saturday is the day for the heavy snow as ive heard, BBC weather have said up to 25cm locally, the best would be if we had blizzards during the game as i have never been to a match whilst its been snowing heavily althougth it would probly be called off in the middle of the game....:xmascheesy:

 

Well take a torch , hat , extra jacket , boots , flask of soup , chocolate , spare socks , sleeping bag , shovel , mobile phone fully charged , and a full tank of petrol. Oh, forgot gloves and scarf.

Just in case you get stuck.

 

I don't think I've seen Watford play in the snow either (or have I....hmm!?). Coldest ever was standing on the terrace at Craven Cottage, on Boxing Day when we lost 5-0 (think it was 2000). Unbearable cold, unbearable result, and then the sight of Carlton Palmer coming over to applaud the fans. Merry Christmas indeed!

 

Got ripped to pieces by Saha.

 

Yep, that was a memorable day for all the wrong reasons. The previous time I'd been to Fulham, it was a much warmer and much happier occasion!!

Ah the memories:

Just digging around and saw this too!

BBC have changed their forecast to light snow now. Oh wel...

 

Don't follow the BBC online forecast, it common knowledge that it's never too accurate!

 

What are you basing your forecast on then?

 

Either the Met Office website, which is streets ahead of the BBC or this website:

http://www.netweather.tv/

 

'BBC Weather in association with the Met Office'

 

Well Netweather also say light snow :xmaswink:

 

Yeah this is true, but the Met Office website is better than the BBC weather one. Not sure why this is, as the BBC's input is done by the Met Office of course.

As for netweather, you have to look at the forums for the real interesting stuff.

 

Didn't see the forums, will have butchers in a bit. There's so many sites for weather now and they all seem to vary. I suppose it's ultimately an opinion based on their technology.

 

A forum for weatherheads !!

 

Aye, I'm not a one forum man. I confess to frequenting another.....

 

EARLY WARNING

There is a risk of a band of heavy snow moving across parts of England and Wales during Saturday. 5-10 cm of snow is possible, with the possibility of 20-25 cm accumulating in places, particularly across parts of southern England. Anyone with travel plans is advised to keep a close eye on the latest forecast

Further updates will appear here.

Things don't look as good for hardcore snow this morning as they did a day or two ago, as the low pressure looks like taking more of a track into France now. However this does lock the cold in, and I expect Xmas day will be be cold and frosty! Always a small chance of snow I suppose, but I reckon you'll have more luck up 'tut north.

 

Yaay! Go away snow!

 

Bloody snow!

Stoke - Hemel normal journey time: <2 hours.

Today: 6 hours.

****ing nightmare.

 

Last year, It took me about 5 hours to get from Watford to Hemel

 

Moral? - don't go to Hemel.

 

A little afanof took 8 1/2 hours to drive from Leeds today, 4 of them practically stationary on the M1 near J9.

 

Well take a torch , hat , extra jacket , boots , flask of soup , chocolate , spare socks , sleeping bag , shovel , mobile phone fully charged , and a full tank of petrol. Oh, forgot gloves and scarf.

Just in case you get stuck.

Did you take my advice ?

 

Getting to work tomorrow is going to be hell, I hope the buses are back up and running.

 

Dear snow **** OFF!!!!

 

:sign15:

 

If you have snow on the ground at the moment, it will be there on Christmas day now. Pretty confident about that!

 

GOOD. It might stop the in-laws coming over. My Brother in Law has trouble driving in the rain.

 

I love snow.... Even though it did take me 4 hours to get to Islington.... I have today travelled more hours than I have worked. :xmasundecided:

 

Looks like it might warm up a bit, starting from Boxing Day. Hopefully things will return to normality, because this country just cannot bloody cope!

 

So white Xmas right?
