Everything posted by Summer of 76

  1. Light covering here in Kempston with some snow on the trees making it look nice. No problem with hard surfaces and roads were gritted again at 3am this morning.Soon be gone as the slightly warm air comes down before it turns much colder at the weekend.
  2. Thanks John for the well explained forecast and yes it has been cold here today with the temperature lowering from 4c in the early morning to 2.9c at 3pm according to the Met Office recording site.
  3. Sun is shining here and it was dark at 2am this morning when i was up not feeling too well which must have been down to too much gardening It will be a great result if it stays dry today and the rain starts just as we go back to work rather than the other way around. For another reason I just came across some photos of December 2012 when we had all that snow just before Xmas then you look out of the window today and can appreciate how wonderful our weather can really be.
  4. I appreciate the clarification AJ and I must be reading a different thread. What ever happens can we agree that if the regional threads do open next winter it is made very clear the date they close for summer so I can send my goodbye see you next winter cards
  5. Well that adds a lot to the thread!!! I really don't follow the argument that if all the regional threads are not being used then close them, the same could be said about the model thread which appears to have a few people posting every day. I don't want to have to look around the rest of the forum to try and find my fellow area members who have suddenly been cut off until next winter. It would have been nice to have had prior notification of this decision so people could have at least said there goodbys until the end of 2014 rather than everything closed at just after nine this morning. How about a voting thread so all forum members can indicate whether they want the regional threads to continue over the summer or maybe a happy with smaller version eg, north south, east and west
  6. Hopefully not, however the loss of many long term members and also committed forum hosts over the past weeks/ months has made this feel a very different place
  7. Well has something developed as when this was issued earlier at 3.40am there wa no mention of heavy rain which we have just had for the past hour Today:Widespread mist and low cloud initially, and patchy fog. Then gradually becoming brighter inland, with sunny intervals developing. Scattered mainly light showers today, although an isolated sharp afternoon shower is possible. Mist and low cloud may persist along the coast. Maximum temperature 17 °C.
  8. Latest BBC weather has removed the storm threat this evening and that front from the west seems to be coming through earlier around 4am but seemed to break up. Tomorrow see some showers in the afternoon but Sunday seems to be the day when a storm or two could be around the area.
  9. Well looking at he radar for Europe, something has to develop over the south of France as there is no precipitation down there. http://www.radareu.cz/ I wonder if the influence of the low pressure coming in from the west has pushed everything east and that rash of showers of Holland moving north was the showers shown on the BBC graphics last night moving up through the SE and EA. Still only 11.6c here and due to a solid brick built house i have had to put the heating on for them who have colds
  10. Well the temperature outside at the moment is only reading 11.6c, sun where are you?
  11. Looks a bit misty on the downs at the moment, however if it cleared and we had a good thunderstorm move up from the south, I don't think a marquee up there with a load of metal would be the place to be watching from http://dunstablehpc.co.uk/images/weather/dunnycam.jpg
  12. seems to be lots of heavy rain around and about which is growing however no lightening being shown on the radar, if only the sun would come out
  13. Here's a web cam picture from dunstable direction, seems to be growing and moving towards MK direction http://dunstablehpc.co.uk/images/weather/dunnycam.jpg
  14. Watching that shower to the south of Bedford which appears to have formed and seems to be expanding, think it can be viewed on this dunstable downs camera at the moment http://dunstablehpc.co.uk/images/weather/dunnycam.jpg
  15. Looks good, just returned from Milton Keynes where there were heavy spots of rain, back here in Bedford
  16. Foggy here although I think the sun could be out very soon, there does seem to be the possibility of a shower later and that's not us lot off to MK shopping centre. Temperature at 7.9c with 97% RH
  17. It's darker than a witches hat here and the rain is coming down in buckets, probably the reason the wife has just come in from the garage looking a bit pale No thunder so far
  18. AS, it's probably easier to reduce the garden growth than the waistline In the belt of heavy rain north of the Thames, if only this was January i would be out making a snowman and measuring for the snow depth cup
  19. Sounds like a documentary that Sky would like making 'Blackbird Wars' We are just seeing the rain arrive, maybe some heavier burst in a while before it clears through.
  20. It's looking very likely as we will probably be there with the local hospital radio crew, once confirmed I will let you know as we could have a small net weather meet up :biggrin: Rain now wetting the ground but not that heavy, temperature has fallen back slightly.
  21. Same here, although the thunder and lightening action seems to be further south. I am thinking of asking the Highways Agency to have their matrix signs divert any storms up the M25 then up the M1 rather than along the M4, sorry AJ. Temperature here is up to a respectful 13.3c.
  22. Glad I haven't, it happened to that golfer Larrazabal yesterday who jumped in the lake to get away from a swarm. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/golf/27079096 Sun in again here although still dry.
  23. Yes CK, it looks like yesterday was the best day although there is mention of rain early and late in the latest forecast on the met office web site.
