jomaxsmith Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I hope it doesn't snow. Save some for term time. Thurs IS the first day of term here. It would be cruel to say I'm counting the hours but it will be nice to have a bit of respite from the constant bickering. Just my luck if we have snow and school is closed!

Charlottechicken Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I'm sure I heard -17 for the Midlands and snow/ice but cannot find a definite forecast, AND I thought it was scaremongering. I thought they were on about this week (snow for my birthday ) but it could be next week now I mentioned it at work and a colleague started going on about the winter of '62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I mentioned it at work and a colleague started going on about the winter of '62 That was the year I was born - the sea froze on the south coast apparently . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Found something that mentions the cold snap: Weather forecasters are predicting chaos on the roads as Britain returns to work next week, with warnings of ice, sleet, and freezing temperatures. Piers Corbyn, from long-range forecasters WeatherAction, said: "The winds from Siberia are going to make it extremely cold - like the conditions we experienced in January 1987 where it was -12C (10.4F) in the south. "The average temperature for January as a whole will be close to freezing - 0.8C (33.4F) at best." He added that temperatures could plummet to -17C (1.4F) in the Midlands. The Highways Agency seem in agreement, having put hundreds of gritting vehicles on standby across the country. But Stephen Davenport, senior meteorologist at MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "Apocalyptic predictions verging on prophecies of a new Ice Age need to be put into perspective. "There is no doubt at all that it will feel bitterly cold, especially on Thursday and particularly in the eastern half of Britain. "Strong, raw winds from the east will bring a significant wind-chill and showers of sleet and snow. In the middle of winter such conditions are hardly unknown though, and in fact could be far, far worse. Indeed, some people in the western half of the country might be left wondering what all the fuss is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
