Nowt in SE18. I am hoping for a shed-load so I can't get to work in Gillingham tomorrow. I don't get paid if I don't go in, but frankly I don't care!
Nothing in Stockport.

An update of the met office severe weather warning for London and the South East was promised for "around 11:00 on Sunday 1st February 2009".
So far ... NO UPDATE.
Maybe the delay is a portent of a major national emergency and they are mobilising the army as we wait for news.

The met office website has some VITAL information that will SAVE LIVES.
Follow it to the letter. I've highlighted the MOST IMPORTANT bit.
Make sure you know what to do
Before snow or ice
If you have to make a journey when snow is forecast, make sure you have warm clothes, food, water, boots, a torch and spade, and let someone know when you expect to arrive and your route. Try to wait until the roads have been gritted before travelling
Put grit or cat litter on paths and driveways to lessen the risk of slipping on compacted snow
Check on vulnerable neighbours
During snow or ice
Avoid travel if possible
If you must drive check the Highway Code for advice on driving in ice and snowy weather. A summary of the advice is: Take care around gritters. Don't be tempted to overtake. Slow down — it can take 10 times longer to stop in snowy or icy conditions, so allow extra room. Use the highest gear possible to avoid wheel spin. Manoeuvre gently and avoid harsh braking and acceleration. If you start to skid, gently ease off the accelerator and avoid braking. If braking is necessary, pump the brakes don't slam them on. If you get stuck, stay with your car and tie something brightly coloured to your aerial
If you go outside wear several layers of clothing and keep dry to prevent loss of body heat. Watch out for signs of hypothermia — uncontrollable shivering, slow/slurred speech, memory lapse and drowsiness and frostbite — loss of feeling in and pale appearance of fingers, toes, nose and ear lobes. Keep moving your arms and legs to help the blood circulate
After snow and ice
Be careful when walking or driving on compacted snow — it may have turned to ice
Take care when shovelling snow. Cold air makes it harder to work and breathe, which adds some extra strain on the body and can be the cause of heart attacks in the vulnerable
