You just know your get the train over to the ground start snowing heavy game gets called off 2.45 and no trains then 3 hours to get home on bus as roads are gridlocked.
What’s goIng to happen over the rest of the day in Saff East London @Hex ?
The amber warning hasn't been changed so it's likely we are in the firing line for snow showers later today and overnight. The temperature is dropping very slowly but I would assume this mornings snow will melt away because of evapouration, strength of sun and the ground is 'warm' due to recent much higher temperatures. If we get some later it is more likely to lay.
And .... don't take too much notice of phone apps !

It’s st pats day, there’s a massive game at HQ with a huge prize to celebrate for the Irish but, whether they win or lose, basically there will be an extraordinary amount of Guiness and junk food consumed in the London area and consequently a lot of gas pumped into the atmosphere around town. Expect the temperature to be a little higher than predicted and any potential snow to fall as rain.
I've just rung them and the game is still on; they gave the distinct impression that as the Amber Warning was for the end of the match, they didn't care that people might not be able to get home safely and I was being ridiculous for asking.

Yes, getting to the ground won't be the issue today as the worst snow is forecast for during and after the match...

Cue phone calls home after the game...’I’m snowed in at the ground, I can’t get home at the moment, I’m going to find a warm bar and wait it out for a while...’
