Default Cor blimey... tangerine

Just got the public warning email from Met Office of a tangerine splodge
for the North Midlands over night tonight, and we are smack bang in the
middle at 100m ASL... We've got tradesmen working on our house. Yikes!

Have you had your snowflake awarness training Wendy?

You are one colour away from a National Emergency which according to UKMO is two snowflakes and the troops are mobilised.

It's all kicking off!
Expect the warnings to change as events unfold.
Stay calm and carry on, please don't panic :-)

LOL, the queues will already be building at Morrisons. I'm so glad my
mum (RIP) taught me to always have a goodly amount of provisions in for
such eventualities.

I do wonder how bad it would have to be for a red warning to be issued.

Just about to go to the local Co-op for the regular Monday purchase of milk,
I wonder if the bread and milk shelves will be less well stocked than normal,
they do tend to empty when the weather is likely to be bad.

We should be allright Lawrence - just need to look out for skidding cars
although it looks worse for Will with the risk of low flying socks.

Nope fully stocked as normal, semi skimmed a bit low but that was all.

Nasty snow squall whizzed through about 1530, followed by blue sky and
sunshine (briefly) glad I wasn't out in it. Tree down partially across the
road near Leadgate.

The radar all looks a bit showery rather than prolonged ATM. So we might not
get to much tonight. But getting caught out in one wouldn't be pleasant.
