Mesoscale

Reminds me of the 'Beast from the East' in 2013, everyone was super hyped and I even travelled to my families home here in Watford from Southampton just too see it but nothing came of it.

Yeah I have had nothing of note yet either, when it gets windy the hob extractor starts creaking like you are on a ship in high seas. Its not even creaking yet.

Getting thunder here right now, sweet, wasn't expecting it.

Again we got to -4 last night, not sure if this is hoar frost or just normal frost? I have never taken the time to actually look at frost as it happens in the morning when I am usually in bed or im at work before its light.

Morning everybody, a cool -4.2c here (according to a weather station up the road), everything is white out there, I had to take a doubl;e look because I thought it was snow at first. I heard a car slide down the road a little while ago, gritters rarely venture around here. Have a great day everyone!

Snowing here but they are really small flakes, no lamposts here either but using the torch on my phone lets me see it more clearly.

I feel your pain, I was attacked by a dog as well, but I couldnt run as it was on top of me in a house. It was a big American Akita but luckily I was able to keep its head away from mine but my hands and forearms didn't fair as well and I had to have a fair few stitches, I have nerve damage in my right hand and still have the scars to this day. I still love dogs though but it took time to be comfortable around them again, I have two cross breed GSP/English Pointers, and recently one of them broke my nose as they are very hyper when its play time. haha. Currently 7.4c here, I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed with the recent updates, its a shame we struggle to get cold temperatures in our neck of the woods, my sister is currently in Switzerland visiting her husbands family, looks good for snow there right now.

Haha, yeah I have two dogs they are cross breed but I dont know what breeds they are but they look like German Pointers but are smaller, one of my dogs dropped the toy in front of me and I bent down to get it and one of them tagged me in the face as I was picking it up, they just get so excited, they do this weird play fight where they get on their hind legs like bears. No I didn't go to A&E, my nose is still straight so I rang my sister and she checked me over (shes a nurse) and it didn't look that bad. The last time I was living in Southampton, I had to wait 4 and a half hours just to be told I needed to ring ENT to book an appointment to see if I needed surgery, it was so frustrating waiting all that time for a 5 minute check up.

Well, I broke my nose AGAIN today, great, last time it was a door this time it was my dog head butting me. Not as bad this time though I had to have surgery last time as it was severely displaced. 8.9c currently and everything is covered in dew. Nice!

I dont think we will see snowfall in the 2014/15 winter, just a guess!

I have a reading of -0.2c in my back garden currently, I love it so much! Its a shame we do not get prolonged periods of weather that isn't rain. I am thinking it may get down to -1c here if the cloud doesn't start rolling in by the morning. I am off!

Its quite confusing out there to be honest, the sun is low and its warm? What is this sorcery? I cant wait for the cold! Bring it on!

I'm really not enjoying this weather, for me this time of year should be chilly, 20c is just blugh in November. I like both cold and warm weather but only when it should be those temperatures, 20c on the first day of November is not on, I love wrapping up warm to watch the fireworks, nope not this year t shirt weather.

Whoa Tom, those pictures are stunning! Could you note any rotation or was it too dark to detect? Looks like a wall cloud though,

Just brushed by storm here to the South/South East, I could hear the odd grumble of thunder but it looks so dark.

Is this a relatively new model? I have never heard of it until now?

Looks like strong rotation on that cell north of Enfield? anyone there to confirm?

Those strong showers coming out of north London look like they are getting their act together, I didn't note any rotation though.

One rumble of thunder here but my garden is now pretty flooded, the sky has lost signal for about 20 minutes so far, its quite intense.

BBC weather forecasting some thunder early tomorrow morning! Lets hope they are right!. I have been feeling quite ill today, I have had vertigo pretty badly. Two things I hate the most vertigo and a sore throat. I just had a cold as well, what is going on? Its just been on of those gloomy days here, I clocked the temperature at about 11c at about 4 but I haven't looked since.

Ahh the Clio V6 255, one of my favourite cars when I was younger along with the Escort RS Cosworth! I think the Clio could have used 4wd because it hates corners and wants to kill you when it rains. It was frosty here this morning not sure what the temperature got down to but it was pretty low as the shadows in my garden are still showing 5c (the ones in shade all day).

Yeah...... No thanks lol I wouldn't mind moving to the Northern United States or Southern Canada though, Winnipeg and Minneapolis look like nice areas. If I could make it colder in the winter here I would, but unless I want to move a couple trillion tons of earth/sand/concrete etc to fill in the Atlantic for a couple hundred miles west that's not going to happen.

I am getting a bit tired of this constant warm weather, towards the end of September I start getting into winter mode, by November I really want it to start getting cold, I love summer but I also love the cold too! Obviously that never happens in our neck of the UK as we are pretty much stuck with double digits for the winter months. A few weeks or a couple of months with a CET of -X would be nice, I would prefer -5c maximum temperature during the day with regular dips below -15c at night, those temperatures wouldn't normally be at amiss with with our latitude as some of the coldest cities in the world lie around the 45th to the 55th parallel north (most notably Ulan Bator which is the coldest capital city in the world which lies on the 47th parallel north and regularly sees temperatures in the winter drop to -40c, London is at the 51st parallel north), I wouldn't want it that cold but a bit more temperature variation wouldn't go amiss.

For anyone who hasn't seen it in the convective thread here is the other nights storm, I could see lightning and hear thunder from about 4am to 6:30am, most of the time I could not see where the lightning was coming from as visibility was soo poor, I am guessing it was elevated. Probably the longest lasting storm I have seen for a good 10 years, was totally insane and unexpected, yet today it was pretty cold, thank you England for being so strange weather wise.

Here is the video of the storm last night, not the best quality but I couldn't find my 600D's spare battery. This is only 15 minutes of probably almost 3 hours of thunder.
