Mr Sherman, that 72oz steak has your name on it!

There are even a couple of us ladies who've been stormchasing!

In which case this thread might not be for you!
Stopped here, for now. The radar shows more on the way.
It's because I don't like it that I'm here! I need to keep tabs on it and here amongst you fine folk seems to be the most accurate place to do so! -
Snow shower in Northampton. It's not settling, so far, thankfully. I'm one of the apparent few who doesn't like the frozen form of water!

I think many people are asking the same question - yesterday there were some strong indications (from other charts!!) of some thundery activity, including an Estofex Level 1 - there was nothing.
Today, there is nothing, and what do we have I wonder - thunderstorms/thundery showers.......'aint life a biaatch!'
No kidding!
This little un-looked-for storm is producing more thunder than I've heard all year!
Shame I'm on the wrong side of the building to be able to see what the cloud looks like - from this window, I can see blue skies and towering cumulous - all the action is happening beyond my field of view.
-
Am I hallucinating, or is it thundering on the south side of Northampton?

Turned out there was still some spark in the cloud after all, though only a handful!
An awful lot of rain, though!
Thanks for the responses!

Hi guys
Can anyone tell me if that mass that's moving SW from Brum is electrified and if so, how strongly?
thanks

lol im not, all the storms in the last two years have been fairly cack, last really good storm was 4th july 06
having said that the northampton storm is bearing down, sky looks evil now, a deep grey / navy blue color.
It's probably gained in strength now it's left Northampton - that's what usually happens!!
-
Looks like a Mini Bow Echo Just gone through Northampton (Surely PBS Is outta the No Storm Club Now) ???
Come on every one out and leave everyone in there from Gloucestershire.................
I'll get me coat
Well, it's been mostly rain, with maybe 8 or 9 flashes of lightning the entire duration, but by Northampton standards, it might as well as well be a supercell!!

are you kidding :lol:
we are in the no storm capital of Nevada South Midlands here....
Still waiting for my First Storm HERE SINCE 1972....
I feel your pain, Pat :lol:
Northampton's no better!

Hi guys
Just wanted to pick some brains.
I happened to be awake at about half three this a.m. (don't ask!), and, on the offchance, looked out the window.
It was fairly cloudy, but there was a whole load of blue-ish light to the north west that I could see in the clear slots behind 'ordinary' clouds.
Was this NLC? If so, it was incredibly bright, even through the cloud cover!
thanks

Is it fair to say that members of the NW Storm chase teams are excluded from membership?
Or do we get some kind of deluxe membership for having to travel halfway around the world just to get storms because their home towns (e.g. Northampton - storm dying ground) are so utterly pants for them!

Ooh, the sun is shining through the cloud. Good stuff. Meanwhile the stuff to our north and west just keeps on coming; looking more promising for round 2 later?
Did you notice how that lot that just passed over was electric until it reached N'pton, then died over us, and looks like it's powered up again now it's passed over!
-
First thunder of the day in Northampton!
-
A few sharp rumbles of thunder in Northants.
Yeah, just a couple though
-
Heavy rain here and had a couple a flashes of lightning, one very close indeed. Finally a storm, sort of. Looking at the radar it seems to be the French storm, pepping up again.
I think I'd emphasise the 'sort of'
If it is pepping up, as usual it won't be us who get's the benefit, will it!

The Northampton Storm Shield holds firm for yet another day!

Ahhhhh a thunderstorm with quite a few sferics passing just to my north (Which seems to be the norm as of late!)
Can see it out of my window, looks very threatening.
North of where you are, and south of where I am!
I share your
-PBS-

And another line of thundery showers dies as it nears Northants :lol:
-PBS-
-
Looks like whatever was providing the brief thunder in Northampton has died, judging by the lightning detector.
Typical.
Northampton: storms come here to die!

Nicely done!
Can I be nosey and ask what phone you used to capture them with?
cheers

This will almost certainly be accessible on the ITV equivalent of iPlayer, which normally keeps programmes viewable for a month (though dont quote me on that!)
I really hope so, as I don't have a TV!
