...it must effect turn out.... there will be more kids there than ever before! It won't deter me as I am only a 22 minute train ride from Waterloo, for those people who travel from further afield.... I guess they may decide the trip is not worth the risk?

Doubt it, I think those that claimed the roads were impassable to get to work will somehow get to the boat show very easily

We are going to try and get there tomorrow (Sat) but it means leaving really early and they are forecasting another very cold night coupled with more snow for Sunday.

My guess is the die hards will still go but there are sure to be loads who just dont bother as a result of the weather but also what about weekend closures of the Jubilee line. Without that its a real pain getting out to Excel from the London mainline stations. Way back in October the Standard reported that concerts at the O2 were being badly hit.

We are only down the road in Tunbridge Wells and were going to go Saturday but struggling to muster the enthusiasm!

Yep I plan to visit next week Thursday (late night opening) and hoping the weather improves, however providing the motorways are clear I don't see it as a big issue. It all depends if we get heavy snow next week.
I reckon it will be quieter or at least hoping.

Are the only thing that are screwing the journey as in anything from Waterloo. Getting there is fine, coming home is a bit chaotic as in late running and cancelations but I have had nothing too bad as yet. (and I am doing it everyday)
Tube fine (part form this weekend!) DLR spot on.
Roads all been fine if you can get you car to a main road or your area is well gritted.
Good luck and come say hello if you pass...

A friend of mine went today and reported that he could just see one other visitor at the other end of the hall. Overall, he reckoned visitor numbers were about 50% of last year.
Not that it matters of course since the organisers will always claim that the Show was a huge success with visitor numbers higher than ever

I do not want to knock any Show or efforts from the UK boaty industry.
Tiss hard enough at the Mo without the weather knackering things up!
Good luck to all who sail in Her etc.
The Truth will out, no doubt!

Don't be lulled into a false sense of security - 4x4, SUV or wheel barrow they all slide the same way on sheet ice. I passed two separate upturned 4x4s in the central reservation of the motorway yesteday (X5, Landcruiser)We will be there tomorrow, RR sport so not bothered about a little fluffy stuff.
Country 4x4 drivers seem on top of things but many urban suv drivers seem disconnected from reality, hence all at sea. Keep safe folks

Did you tell
Him it had moved to Excel? I take it he went to Earls Court...
South hall was quiet at times North hall was busy all day, I have the business in the bag to prove it....
Lets wait till the weekend is over before we all write it off or how about those that knock it go and see for them selves.
Cheers
