They've been predicting this all day and usual the forecast even at
such short notice is pretty poor. The main event I thought was
scheduled for this evening with last night persistent heavy showers
just being that. The BBC and all other weather warnings spoke of
another 15cm to add on to last nights accumulation -looks like fine
sleet to me at present.

Did you ever get your evenin snow Lawrence?

Looking at the date on Lawrence's post, it was made on February 2, 2009m
so he probably won't remember now whether he did or not.

I was about to email Jon O'Rourke to ask him what prompted his renewed posting on the newsgroup...

Still complaining about the same stuff today as you ere 6 years ago. Hilarious. Learned nothing.

Last night's forecast for the overnight snow was extremely good given the
difficulty in forecasting snow events.

Just balancing the argument...

I felt the main event was further north, in Southend I woke up to about
2", at Chelmsford there was 6". A number of Schools are shut tomorrow,
and even my Wifes one is now shut, and they were open today. I could
have told them this morning it was going to turn to rain this evening
and temperatures would rise. I can only think that there isn't a
dedicated central point for Schools to determine what the weather
forecast is and make a sound decision.

Temp currently 2.8°C

Consider the sort of advisers they have and ...

Oh come on, you've just had the heaviest snowfall in nearly 20 years
and you're *still* complaining!
You fancy coming up here?
Last night you could have come to play with my 5cms, though today
it's shrivelled to half that size....

You can see from your windows that it is not over yet, everywhere is still glum and drizzly. Going to be that way until the 21st to the 24th I think (I'm far from sure.)

One look at today's Atlantic and you can see that once the lows get straightened out things can start recovering.
Some pretty pictures and some religion:

(Don't blame me. I am trained to look at all possibilities and if a synod is taking place, I'm going to have as much bloody fun with it as I can. :~))
And I can!

Get ready to meet the maker of it all.
