Surprise snowfall expected.

No idea why the met office haven't got warnings out....

There's a dodgy little low pressure that's spun up - not unusual in these circs that could bring wide spread snowfall later today. Those in the south should be especially aware, though it could affect those in the north and east too. If you are heading out I'd take shovels and blankets just in case.

Why would it even be a surprise? [busad]

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 01/04/2013 00:40

That's a nice description of a polar low, where does it say we're expecting one?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 01/04/2013 08:50

Now is the perfect time for Kent to get a giant blizzard.

Sparklingbrook · 01/04/2013 09:05

We have woke up to about a foot of snow.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 01/04/2013 09:05

Have you got your snow shovel at the ready Toby?

TobyLerone · 01/04/2013 09:07

I'll just send the kids out with a trowel :o

OhYouBadBadKitten · 01/04/2013 09:08

MsIngaFewmarbles · 01/04/2013 09:12

So does Bristol count as the South?

S.Herts
After a lovely sunny morning yesterday, it is dull and dismal, but freezing outside this morning, but was still hoping for the sky to clear.

Now, horror of horrors, I read about snow in the South today?
If it is an April fool, I am not amused .
Had already decided to be back in my eskimo outfit this morning after opening the door and felt colder than the freezer, but was +1.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 01/04/2013 09:14

Bristol is south for sure!

I've just got up and it's hammering down

I'm doing a couple of cleaning jobs this morning and was about to cart the hoover out to the car. It's as deep as my car's wheels!

TobyLerone · 01/04/2013 09:16

In Kent, btw.

Pascha · 01/04/2013 09:17
