I hope not otherwise we all need to go and make an appointment at specsavers

Talking of Wet wet wet, Here in Solihull we've had 50.1mm since Saturday and with friday looking very wet ! not bad totals over the seven days, At least the old gardens are doing well

On that wintry mix It turned into 3 to 4 hrs of heavy snow in Birmingham on the 28th and over night minima of -3 And even London had a covering

Surprise! Surprise!....Ooh i love a bit of cilla !!!

Now't to do with seeing the grass! It was the road conditions (PRECIPIT. LIGHT)+( POSS. SLIPPERY) i was looking at ! and in seeing the road condition at 31:06. In the UK that would be seen as ( Bad road conditions) and the METO would have warnings out for that. Its just the locals up there just get on with it not like in the uk where everything stops. Looks a touch different now though http://www2.liikennevirasto.fi/alk/english/kelikamerat/kelikamerat_5.html I find this interesting not just where the roads are bad now but it also shows where theres going to be poor conitions over the next few hours, http://www2.liikennevirasto.fi/alk/english/keliennuste/

Yes hammering it down and look at how they see it in brackets below, TIME, 13:06 AIR -1.4 °C ROAD SURF. 0.0 °C PRECIPIT....... ( LIGHT) ROAD COND....... ( POSS. SLIPPERY) If that was the UK, The METO would have warnings out for it

The Great Storm of 1987..... That occurred on the night of 15–16 October

This reminds me of 1987 http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/gefs_cartes.php?ech=192&code=8&mode=0&carte=0

Looks even better when the snows coming down......Click on 20:03 http://alk.tiehallinto.fi/alk/kelikamerat/kamera-C1451601.html#

Well its coming down cat and dogs here and at present its 8.6c ...... Glad i'm not doing much today

Had the house light's on all day here... Had no choice, Those "Grey leaded skies" made it a very dark autumnal day. Oh yes wet and cold as well !

Sorry.... I wouldn't want SS any other way!!! He's always reminding us that the mild or so called warmth is never to far away so just let him be, Because when the cold and snow does hit the UK it will be even more sweeter

We haven't seen the end of it either

Well what a wet day it's been and dark with that and also feeling quite cool ! My temps today have been around the 9c mark for most of the day. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/wm/coleshill_latest_weather.html

Germany looks to warm for snow.

Yes just had a right good downpour here some nice bright echos on the radar http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile

Interesting how SST anomalies are so high, Is this a rare thing? 30 days ago, 4C+ above the norm Even today there well above average;
