[Livia]

East Anglia has a snow warning for Sunday. Please let it snow hard... Please... pleeeeease. I have a stocked freezer and plenty of fuel. I could hold out for months.

[Niamh.]

I wouldn't mind some snow days as long as I'm at home when it happens. We're due "Thundersnow" apparently

[Livia]

I want thundersnow! Whatever it is, I want it.

I want enough snow to make a snow dalek. I wanted to make one for ages but never had enough snow.

The latest thinking from the very good Liam Dutton about snow for England and Wales:

Whilst most places will probably see rain, there is a chance that as it brushes against the cold Arctic air coming down from the north, it could turn to snow in places.

What is the chance of snow?

At the moment, the chance of snow is considered to be very low – probably around 30 per cent – which means rain is much more likely than snow for most. Also, the greatest chance of snow will be over the hills, mountains and moors of Wales and southern England – especially as the rain starts to clear during Thursday afternoon and evening, as the colder air digs in and temperatures fall away into the night.

Even if rain does turn to snow, it will have difficulty settling because the ground will still be wet from the rain that preceded it and probably not quite cold enough to stop the snow from melting. However, if it does snow, it is likely to be wet snow, with big, fluffy white snowflakes that can reduce visibility significantly and make for tricky travelling conditions.

not when it took an hour to clear and grit the drive and road end, 10 mins to clear the snow off the car and deice every window and then a further 20 mins just to get a water content reading from my frozen rain gauge. YOu have to melt all the snow with measured warm water and then minus out the warm water etc, my fingers were frozen off.

I would just not deice the car and stay home, light the fire

[Cal.]

I can't stand snow and wish everyone would stop harping on about it.
