Why don't they just employ David Copperfield? And in a war situation, surely they could build a huge cloak to go over cities and hide them.

Clear 13o and dark here at present, earlier though, it was 23o and light, and sunny, with no breeze, at all.

Clear skies with a soft breeze, and a temperature of 20.3o

Down to 5.6o here, cloudy but dry.

clear skies but no sun, 3.7o c and dry

Don't worry about the pebble, if we survive bird flu then we will by then have a cushion of CO2 to break its fall, either that or the heat from the planet will deflect it away. Thats was my official report to NASA and they seem to agree. If this pebble was to fall to earth, I wonder what the odds of it hitting the inlaws house is?

I beg to differ. A lot of the energy comes from abroad, therefore, the suppliers will not have to purchase so much of it at high prices and can actually make better profit margins by supplying local grown energy. The reason energy prices are as high as they are now is due to demand and storage capabilities. A saving of say 30% is still a saving of 30% no matter what the prices are.

Here is what I do >Use energy saving light bulbs wherever possible >install led light bulbs where halogen bulbs are fitted as soon as the halogen ones blow >use a smart control on my heating boiler that measures the flow and return temperature of the water, ensuring the burner is not firing when the heat exchanger gets to the point where it cannot put any more heat into the water therefore wasting energy. >turn off as many electrical appliances as possible when not using them >recycle paper, plastics and metal >make sure very little water is wasted (don't forget it uses energy to heat the water that often gets wasted) >work with the business community to reduce their carbon emissions.

Well, it started at 03:20 with a few flakes and was heavy until about 11:30 when it became light and is still coming down lightly now. Ended up with 3.5 inches in this area and 4 - 5 inches in the more remote areas. Driving today has been fun to say the least.

0z looks like keeping it snowy tomorrow evening as well.

Just wondering, as the radar is showing the snow before it actually arrives, could this be a sign of the front begining to stall a little, or am I just talking cak?

Can the Met office get nothing right, ok, we have snow, but they said it would be from 03:00 they were 20mins out. tsk.

Daisy, We have it here too now.

:ph34r: are you teasing me you little minx?

It's a lie I tells ya

the earlier snow alert was unfounded and I have put it down to ash. The wind has got up here now so that is a good sign..........isn't it?

I think the patch of sky above my house is faulty.

we have the first few grains falling, either that or it is the ash off my ciggie flying around

Is the precipitation likely to compress as it moves up? (hey look at me getting all technical)

I cannot see anything happening except what the GFS said would happen imo.

god forbid
