Ian Fergusson's latest twitter message is a worry... Blizzards virtually all of southern England later Tuesday into Wednesday. Has potential to be very disruptive. Stay tuned folks...
about 1 hour ago via Twitter for iPhone Definitely worth keeping an eye on! TLM |

We've had a light flurry here in north-west Bristol, this am. Nothing to write home about.

about 1 hour ago via Twitter for iPhone Definitely worth keeping an eye on! TLM Seems to concur with my quote from yesterday. The Met Office says London may see some snow over this weekend, and also has an advisory of BLIZZARDS for Tuesday!
Interestingly, looking at the forecast on the BBC» website, it doesn't mention anything about snow for London on Tuesday, it seems this weather is unpredictable, or the person writing the forecast for the BBC doesn't agree with the Met Office! |

Light dusting of snow at Moreton-in-Marsh since last night but have yet to venture further afield so don't know what it's like on the highest bits of the Cotswolds. Interestingly, looking at the forecast on the BBC» website, it doesn't mention anything about snow for London on Tuesday, it seems this weather is unpredictable, or the person writing the forecast for the BBC doesn't agree with the Met Office! The Met Office's warning for Tuesday is advisory at this stage, as it depends on the track taken by rain moving up from the south-west and hitting cold air blowing from the north. But the BBC is currently forecasting light snow in Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Bucks and Berks on Tuesday, so not that far from London... |

The advisory for blizzards for Tuesday and Wednesday has now been removed from the met office website and replaced with an advisory for heavy and drifting snow for the North, East and South East. The low pressure system that was due to bring the blizzard conditions is now forecast to stay further south over France than originally thought. The Southwest has no advisories for the next 5 days but that will probably change at some point.
Feel a bit sorry for Ian Fergusson as he has been quiet on both his blog and Twitter for days about the wintry weather. When he does mention something the forecast weather pattern changes.

Beginning to think portishead is in a protective bubble - yes its cold, but looking over at the M5 the hills over to nailsea look snow covered - I'm hearing about snow around the SW but not a flake has fallen

First of the problems on our region's train due to the snow Line problem between Redhill and Guildford.
Train services between Redhill and Guildford are being disrupted due to poor weather conditions.Engineers are working as fast as possible to restore services to normal. Short notice alterations and delays of up to 40 minutes can be expected.
A broken down train between Redhill and Reigate has delayed services further in the area.

And sounds pretty grim in those parts again today Line problem between Redhill and Gatwick Airport.
Train services are being disrupted due to poor weather conditions between Redhill and Gatwick Airport.Engineers are working as fast as possible to restore services to normal. Short notice alterations, cancellations and delays of up to 40 minutes can be expected.
Train services are currently unable to operate between Redhill and Gatwick Airport due to poor weather conditions. Customers are advised to avoid travelling where possible. Customers for Gatwick Airport are advised to travel to London Paddington and transfer to Southern Railway services between London Victoria and Gatwick Airport or on SouthWest Trains services from Reading via Clapham Junction. Gatwick Airport reports that flights are currently suspended, customers are advised to check with their airline before attempting to travel.
Last Updated: 01/12/2010 08:32 FGW▸ service is thinned out and those Turbos that are running making extra stops between Reading and Redhil. Pattern both ways includes the following calls: It will call additionally at: Crowthorne, Sandhurst, Farnborough North, Ash, Wanborough, Shalford, Chilworth, Gomshall, Dorking West and Betchworth. Southern's website says it isn't running Redhill to Reigate due to signalling problems and no through Brighton services at the moment due to a crippled train at Gatwick standing across the main lines (presumably during a shunt) caused by ice on conductor rails. Rescue loco on scene. |

Overheard Mark Hopwood on the phone this morning (sat nearly opposite him) getting a little bit irate with a control room somewhere- whether it was his own or Network Rail's I don't know. Comments along the lines of "well why can't we get a second train per hour down there?" "Is the line completely blocked?"
