I don't think you could write this script as on the last day of winter we have the possibility of seeing our first flake of snow this winter.

Who won the regional snow competition this year then lol. I take it it was a 0-0 draw!
Funny you should say that as we have had a request for extra time so a member can bring on his sub, I know it's been wet recently but not that wet.
Showers have been very heavy here today with hail and some gusty winds, temperature now down to 6.5c.

Still mild outside (9.8c) although the wind today seem to have taken the edge off as there was very little sunshine due to a number of showers which have been passing through. At least the intensity of rain has dropped to provided some welcome relief to the areas which were flooded a week or so ago. It crossed my mind today that there are many people now coping with the problems after the water has left their houses and how quick the news channels dropped the story when the water started to go down and problems in other parts of the world took the headlines.

We all know that we cannot take the virtual world of the internet as a substitute for real life. But in addition to the obvious value of mutual support for personal and health matters, when an underlying issue that has been going on in this little regional internet community and has served as a threat to undermine it and caused problems over at least several months for a few unfortunate members within it, then I think that it nevertheless proves just how important and valuable it can be

Chris, can I just point out that emptying the vacuum cleaner and measuring the 'dust depth' of it's contents will be a null and void entry...there is a big cobweb in the back corner though if you could remove that please
Don't worry I have a Jax, sorry VAX to do that

Hello all
A chilly 1.7c in Reigate, clear blue skies, touch of frost on the shaded grass.
The 3 boys have not yet emerged from the 'sleep' over. Last seen about 10pm clutching bars of Aero (1 orange and 2 green, so if it's all gone wrong there will be something of a mess to clear up.....)
Have a good day
AS
AS, I know the feeling as last week we had two sleepovers in one weekend (sounds like a song) one for the ten year old and one for the 16 year old which then stretched into two days. If they last much longer I may have to charge B&B rates
. I have been to town and the sun is out although it feels a little nippy and as I speak the cloud cover is moving in from the west, at least it's not raining.-

I don't see the point - either tell both the public and councils or admit defeat and don't predict a whole season predominant weather at all.
Councils will spend according to MetO advice infinitely more on preparation for a particular sort of winter than the public - say if they'd predicted Winter 13/14 correctly, I might have bought that nice mac in the sale, or invested in some really good wellies.
Councils spend millions of our council tax and government money - so in a macro-economic sense, it's worse.
I wonder how many tonnes of rock salt are sitting around council depots at the moment, funny how one year we nearly run out and then this year it was sand bags in short supply.

I've got some lovely snowdrops in my garden do they count - I think they are about 6cm :-)
Sorry I will have to refer you to the gardening thread as per rule 12.6.1.3 revised global warming page 100.99f

going to show this but only because its showing for now
ukmo at 144
now ecm
close enough although subtle differences on how high the pressure will be over us
gfs at 144
has low pressure to our north west lower and high pressure to our south east not over us
so if i run ecm for now
at 168
192
216
we have enough high pressure there to keep us on the dryer side
at 244
shows high pressure gone
the low to our west could go anywhere
it may die
it may go south of us which might be where the charts are hinting at cooler conditions at the end feb start of march
it also may hit us direct again
truthfully not sure of next week at present and can only see how the fax charts pan out on a 5 day outlook
regards
john
lets hope ecm is right tonight
John, reading the met office extended forecast seems to go along with this thinking or more rain for the north and west and less in the south east along with some frost. This will hopefully help to reduce the flooding risk as we go through the next few weeks.
One thing I have noticed since last week when the models were showing the amount of rain for this area it was a lot less than suggested which has helped the the EA to move the water down the River Ouse without too much problems. I would think that anyone on the levels are happy of less rain now they have had to switch off the new pumps for 48 hours as they were destroying the river bank due to the force of water being pumped out. I must admit that when I first saw all the pipes lined up and there was a suggestion that they would be able to force against the tidal flow I was surprised that they were not angled down stream.

Just found a rather large part of a conifer tree in the garden so rang the police who have put me through to Special Branch. They will be around later as they are presently at a sink hole in Hemel Hempstead looking into that first, I thank you
Still getting some rather large gust here and spits and spots of rain.

I have to say that this storm system beats all others this winter her in Bedford this winter, some of the gust last night were really powerful around midnight. It's still blowing although the worst gusts now are coming through with some very fast moving showers
-
Well it's not calmed down here, in fact I would say it's getting worse - the last few minutes there has been a roar and a whoosh to the wind that I've never heard inland before...ever !
Same here plus a power dip ten minutes ago

Certainly blowing in dirty Dartford, not a good day for Thames water decide too change the fire hydrant outside your gate, leaving a very big hole surrounded by barriers which have just disappeared down the road leaving an unprotected hole, perhaps our netweather legal guru could tell me the going rate for falling down an ole?
That will be an ole fiver to you sir and a 40% commission
Just had a thought I bought a box of Rennie from the supermarket today, do you think that reason the winds keeping down around here

74 knots constant wind shown. That is 85 mph mean speed. WOW! As you say Hurricane force.
Where is Prawle Point though? Cornwall?
From Google
Prawle Point is a coastal headland in south Devon, England It is the southernmost point of Devon. Access is from the village of East Prawle along a single-track road, at the end of which a National Trust car park is present.

I would hope that if a good number of people report this it gets removed from the forum!!!.
Temperature here 6.7c and it must be raining as my new weather device, (the cat) has come in with wet feet.
