Snow Watch 2007 Update

The met office have now issued a sever weather warning for pretty much all of England and Wales from 2300 7/2 to 1500 8/2 for Heavy Snow.

This is the first flash warning which will be updated tomorrow.

Accumulations of 2 -5 cm snow are expected widely in land. In some areas of the Midlands and Wales 10 - 15 cm.

This could cause severe disruption to the travel networks especially as it is expected to hit the south east during the rush hour.

For the Oxfordshire area it states there is a 70% risk of disruption (Note not just snow but disruption) from heavy snow.

The met office even tell you what to prepare for when they issue a severe weather warning. Of course this helpful advice is by in large ignored by the vast majority of the general public who try to go about their normal lives, all the roads block up and then they blame the government.

People should take responsibility for their own actions.Better to be prepared for the worst and be pleasantly surprised than be unprepared on your own and in trouble.

I will post a further update tomorrow based on the latest update from the met office.
