Summer of 76

The new A421 (don't think they have moved the road name yet) seems to have major problems with the hill at Brogborough. I understand that the incline is less steep than the old road however it goes on for longer and that's where in this weather lorries are having problems going up and over it. I think there was a discussion on BBC radio last week before the snow when it was very icy so I wonder if the new tarmac needs time to get worn in and every since it was opened we have had snow and ice. Earlier today every hill out of bedford had an accident on it and was closed, the only way in MK was on the A422. Back to the weather, the snow has stopped here and I can see blue sky from the office window, get ready for me walk home now :smiliz19:

Blackpool 94mph

and here is another one which is live, it was snowing lightly earlier. I hope works http://www.santaclau...kieli=eng&pid=3 Chris

Shows how localised as a few miles down the road in Bedford when I drove through the pavments were dry although the thunder had been heard in the office. Chris

Did anyone notice that Chris who was doing the weather forecast (Look East) and spoken in the news item about the Suffolk tornado was showing a radar picture clearly marked netweather.tv

One rumble of thunder about five minutes ago and really heavy rain at the moment

Hi Cloudy and just started raining Temp 16.0

They fly ants appeared here in Bedford just after lunch and looking at the following link maybe to do with the right temperature and humidity as we haven't had an rain here today. http://en.wikipedia..../Flying_ant_day

Oh, I wish our works firewall would allow me to see netweather radar at the moment, heavy rain now and one flash of lightning and clap of thunder

Cloudy with a temperature of 19.4c

This link goes to their invent product http://www.metoffice...ent/weathermap/ Chris Ps You may need to select radar from the right hand side

Ian, Can confirm that was spot on as had a couple of rumbles of thunder as it moved over Bedford. regards Chris

Sure is and looking at the cameras it's still going well

Still raining and has been since 9pm last night when a small thunderstorm signalled the started of the rain. Temperature is now 7.2c.

EZY30M which is just over Stoke on Trent appears to have departed from Southend Airport and is now returning there, can that be correct :lol: Edit sorry I must have broken it as the link now says internal server error

I'm sure I have seen him on countryfile:D, what time does the sun go down there? Chris

I don't post very much as I can learn more from the postings by TEITS, Nick Sussex ect, it is a shame that we do have that people want to have a go at people and I have found my hide posting feature being used more and more. In terms of around here in Kempston, I think we have really done very well this winter as I can remember the run of mild winters when you were limited to one hours snowfall in March if you were lucky:) I do hope the regional threads are allowed to stay open through the summer when we start to see thoses showers and thunderstorms, however I suppose it maybe to much work for the moderators. Anyway I'm off out in the garden to do some clearing up, just up to 0.7. Chris

For the second morning in a row it's snowing again:)

Snowing here in Bedford, not sure if it was rain before as the ground is wet, temperature 0.9

Nothing so far here in Bedford although the radar seems to be showing some movement towards this direction

You must have read my mind MS as just posted the same on another thread:)

Light snow here in Bedford

She did, it's now on the BBC Weather web site under the local video tab.

I thought you might have sneaked the change in under the radar whilst we weren't looking Paul, this is worse than waiting for an Easterly
