Smiffish Winter Weather Watch

[Uncle Leo]

North of Oxford Street, it's the same. Leaving at 4 as train company says get home by 6!

That was for South Eastern, right? No such warnings on my train line, although I'm trying to argue my case with work right now. Better to be safe and all that...

Load of old bollocks in Leigh, we had a few fluffs .. then the sun came out.....tonight may be different though, I may have to pop to Waitrose and buy 30 gallons of milk and 48 loaves.

Not even a single snowflake currently on the ground where I am near Lakeside.

I did hear on the lunch time news that C2C and Greater Anglia are finishing early today, last trains around 10pm, with a reduced service from 8pm.

22:55 Via Rainham
22:41 Via Ockendon

Please be careful if you are considering taking either of these two services.

Talking of the Ockendon branch line, C2C plan to run a shuttle service between Grays and Upminster on Tuesday, just 1 train every 45 minutes (even during peak hours) and consisting of only 4 carriages. It will be a nightmare i'm sure, especially on the platforms at Upminster, so avoid this route if at all possible.

I have just heard on the radio that some supermarkets have already sold out of milk and bread - really :nope: and that is just with a a tiny flurry here in Southend.

Some people are so stupid.

We sent our office junior along to get milk this morning at 9 a.m. as we had none in the office and he said he literally got the last milk on the shelf! People really go mad - all you need is some common sense. I always keep an extra couple of pints in the freezer, unless you have a family of very young children, you don't really need much more than normal.

Reading your comment reminded me of this..

 

[Cricko]

Knackerd, still building the fall out shelter....BRB .. The earth movers are here..

Not so much as a flake around my neck of the woods. This is going to be one big anti climax.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Has snowed 3 times since 7pm here in Leigh ( Thames Drive area), and reckon 1/2 to 1 inch on ground. I live on the A13, and currently have yet to see a gritter go by!.

 

[Mad Cyril]

An inch of snow in Benfleet.

As such I am working from home.

 

[Benfleet A1]

3mm at best in Fobbing. I'm in Bow at the mo, not so much as a frost.

 

[rigsby]

Reasonable covering in Thorpe Bay. I shall look forward to using my snow shovel for the first time in a few years. The road along the sea front is usable but still has a bit of snow in one lane.

Lets be careful out there folks. Her Ladyships niece stacked her car a couple of days ago on black ice down in Devon. Rolled several times and very lucky she is not more seriously hurt.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Couple of centimetres here in my bit of Benfleet but you can see it's going to freeze given the chance. The road would normally have cleared tyre lines by now but it hasn't. Can hear the A130 is travelling normally which is good as we have a Broomfield appointment this morning!
