The_Rev Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Abbey Road looks good - just watching people make a snowman Our London office (Marylebone station) is ten, maybe fifteen minutes walk from that zebra crossing and in the 10 years I have worked here I have never once gone to see it. Maybe I should one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 8deg Celsius, right?With the internet, everybody knows everything. 8 degrees is what the BBC is saying, but I'd say it's considerably milder than that here in West Yorks, probably about 10 or 11. And sunny. Predicted to be 16 or 17 later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted April 2, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2012 BRITAIN FACING WEEK OF SNOW AN Arctic blast will bring sub- zero temperatures and up to eight inches of snow for Easter. After a fortnight of blue skies and temperatures as high as 73F (23C), forecasters warn the big freeze could last all week. Cold air from Norway will bring a blanket of snow to Scotland and northern England over the next 24 hours and even the South is expected to be hit by midweek. Sharp frosts will see overnight temperatures fall as low as -11C. Between two and eight inches of snow are expected as far south as Leeds. By tomorrow evening up to three inches could fall in exposed areas of Kent and Sussex. And even London could get some sleet and snow, although it is unlikely to settle. By Tuesday the cold front will be down over southern England The worst-hit areas of southern England will be the North and South Downs and the Chilterns, where snow flurries could continue into Wednesday. The Met Office said tonight and tomorrow night would see lows of -4C in England and -9C in Scotland. Other forecasters predicted lows of -11C in Scotland. Motorists were last night warned of potentially treacherous road conditions and there were concerns that council gritting teams may have been stood down too early because of the warm spell. The Arctic weather is expected to continue at least into Wednesday and may last until the Easter weekend. Forecaster Julian Mayes, of Meteogroup, predicted a “significant” snowfall in Scotland and northern England tonight and tomorrow. “A blast of northern winds will carry the snow showers into large parts of England. By Tuesday the cold front will be down over southern England,” he said. Mr Mayes warned motorists to have the de-icer ready for Wednesday and Thursday. “By the middle of the week it will feel much colder than it has been in recent weeks. It will be time to wrap up.” Met Office spokeswoman Helen Waite described conditions as a stark contrast to the clear skies and sunshine of recent days. Last week Britain’s beaches were packed as the UK was hit by a mini-heatwave with temperatures well above the March average. But Ms Waite warned those who have been getting used to the warm weather to pack away their bikinis and sunblock for now and get out the coats and scarfs as temperatures plummet. She said: “Looking ahead we are expecting it to get colder still. Across the country there is a weather system coming down from the North and it will be rainy on Monday night. With cold weather coming in there is a risk of snow. On Tuesday the rain across northern England will turn wintry and snow could fall. “Wednesday will remain cold and most places will see further wintry showers across the UK, especially on higher ground.” This week’s blast of freezing weather started to arrive over the weekend when snow began falling in the Shetland Isles. The Scottish village of Aboyne, in Aberdeenshire, which recorded the highest March temperature in the country when it peaked at 22.9C on Wednesday, saw its fortunes take a downturn as daytime temperatures there dropped to a chilly 8C. Temperatures could drop as low as -9C tonight in remote areas. Tomorrow will see them struggle to rise above a bitter 4C during the day in northern England while on Wednesday it will be 8C at best. The earliest indications are that Good Friday is likely to be a grey and gloomy start to the Easter weekend, with rain expected in many parts of the North. April snowfall is not unheard of in the UK. On April 6, 2008, a cold front swept southwards across the country, ending a spell of warm weather in which temperatures had reached 19.2C just two days before. The front brought snowstorms across the Midlands and southern England, where up to three inches fell. The unseasonal weather caused major travel disruption and forced Heathrow Airport to close its runways for a time. Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Normally I'm all for the snow and cold weather, however, having recently had a massive gas bill (wife and son at home all day) I really can't afford to have the heating running all blooming day any more. Will pop by Primark on the way home and buy them some jumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
