[Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2024-25 Season]

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I'm sure you've been in touch with your wife Kalimantan. Just a word of warning. Drive from T Wells to Brighton yesterday and all the major roads were clear. The only place we had a slight issue was on the main road between Uckfield and the allotments in Lewes. And specifically roughly betwee the Isfield turning and Lewes. Despite gritting the raod was still icy. Looked better by the evening, but clearly Barcombe have had it pretty bad.

PS what does your daughter do in Congo Lord B?

She's working for Merlin International, the medical emergency relief charity, doing logistics stuff (sorting out transport disruptions, etc).

Coming down hard here. Made it about 2/3 of the way to work whereupon my car ignored my instruction, delivered via the steering wheel, to bear left. Fortunately nothing coming the other way at the time, so my not-so-graceful slide didn't result in any damage.

With that I turned round and crawled home slowly.

From the radar it looks pretty bad in your area.

Fine flakes, not big ones, but a lot of them.

...almost horizontal at times too.

So it was nearer for you to get to work, then return home, but you still went home. Top Work

some of that tail might get close to us, can see it dispersing or going up north over portscum though as it usualy does when coming from the south west.

Wow, tough job. I travelled around Congo (then Zaire) 20 years ago. Great country, but its been to hell and back since. Has she arrived in the UK yet?

Yep, they have. But they can get out today and on way to airport right now, all we need is a plane to arrive and the snow to hold off for the next four hours and it'll be a good Christmas

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Good luck - have a great Christmas with your family.

 

[Djmiles]

It's coming!
