Accorfing to the Met this morning we stand a 90% chance of severe weather....
EARLY WARNING OF SEVERE WEATHER
EARLY WARNING of Heavy Snow and Blizzards Issued by the Met Office at 10:29 on Wednesday, 23 November
OVERALL RISK ASSESSMENT: The probability of disruption due to severe weather conditions in part of the United Kingdom within the next 4 days is 90 percent.
This warning is an update to that issued at 10:15 on Tuesday 22 November 2005.
The Met Office is forecasting that very strong northerly winds will extend across the UK from Thursday to Saturday, with all areas at risk of seeing some snow. Current timings suggest that the onset of the wintry weather will be around 0600 Thursday in northern Scotland, 1800 Thursday for Northern Ireland across to northern England, and overnight Thursday/Friday for southern parts.
Areas at highest risk for snow will be northern and eastern Scotland along with Northern Ireland, where winds will also reach severe gale force. Showers will fall widely as snow over high ground where local blizzard conditions are expected giving significant accumulations of snow with drifting. Latest indications now suggest that there is now a higher risk of snow for Wales and southwest England on Friday, especially over hills and moors. Snow will also occur at low levels for a time.
On Friday night and Saturday, there is a risk of some snow affecting southern and central areas of England but confidence for this aspect remains low and further updates will be provided. By this stage, most of the snow in other areas of the UK will be restricted to high ground.
This warning will be updated by 1030 on Thursday 24th November 2005.

So what chance is there off snow?
I hope not as its blag a lift of someone,or go via the train.to Coventry.
Fingers crossed no snow dont fancy driving the chim in snow.
Hi Jessica, our route is too busy for the snow to settle, all you will end up with during the day is wet salty roads, and i've just cleaned the car
I will probably have to do it again before saturday. Anyway am I the only one who loves driving in the snow, find yourself a deserted contry road and pretend your on the rally of Finland.You don't have to speed it feels like your moving quicker on snow anyway.
. Jessica we have two spare seats from Stafford

but try practising on a deserted supermarket car park, start by driving in a tight figure of eight. This will tell you how your car will handle in snowy conditions and help with your on road confidenceIf it's on for a bit of snow than looks like it might be the uber-cruiser ... can't be bothered with all this namby pamby turbo charged front wheel drive Swedish malarky ... nice RWD tourer will do nicely thank you! ... hey, and any shinanigans and I can just fend off Vicki's objections with "sorry' it must be the snow causing all this sliding about sideways"
