Just left for work , was quite heavy wet snow as I left station and settling
-
Finally in the sweet spot for half an hour around 9.30, a bit of light stuff still falling. Looks like about 3 cms, will try and upload pic.
-
ugh....Never get much from NE'lies here, hidden behind the Chilterns. Remember the almighty Sunday night snow in the SE in 08/09 - there was hardly anything here, and then a virtual white out in Watford..amazing.
We need a ESE wind...I can't remember those ever occurring!!
-
Well the second band just arriving here - light rain so far (I think) earlier snow nearly all melted..
-
Still snowing here - getting what was 'stolen' from us yesterday ;-) about 1/2 cm and still falling, covering everything nicely. Getting pretty heavy now, but I think we are virtually out of this bit now.
-
See. LB right in that bloody hole, they just know that it won't snow here ;-)
-
I've been to Istanbul in the winter and I'd be happy to get even a small fraction of the snowfall they get over there every year!
So, we're in the coldest part of the year, we have an "arctic blast", yet we still get mostly rain and temps between 5-7C. What hope do we have?
True! The Istanbul bit was from our local friends of the earth rep when we were watering our local orchard! Very dry here generally. Grew up in Bournemouth, a lot wetter than here
-
So WTF happened ???!!! Went to bed last night expecting to wake up to some sort of covering and nothing ? Radar was looking good and everything . Very disappointed.
Yep just the usual. The stuff last night and early hours all slipped to the east! Anything here was too light to be snow. Not surprised LB is as dry as Istanbul on average!!

Thing is, we never seen to bet 'bonus' snow. If we get some then it's generally worse elsewhere, like yesterday afternoon's shower. Then if it's forecast like this morning, it buggers off somewhere else! 42 year old tantrum time ;-)

Incredible snow avoidance here, yet again! That was our bloody snow and it's gone east again. Funnily enough exactly where regional weather said it wouldn't go, it's gone. Might as well be living back on the south coast again. Rubbish!!
-
Getting very windy here 56mph
Same here- knew it would be windy - but not quite as wild as this! Crap weather - hate it.
-
Jusat had that one overhead in Camden - torrential rain and a few decent bangs - love the way it popped out of nowhere on rainradar! Good job it stopped as I don't want the railway tunnels to get flooded..
Makes up a bit for the usual/back to normal no show last night in the beds/bucks area. Well we did have a couple of storms in July, so we must shut up and be grateful
-
I did see a flew flashes from it in the end and my camera failed to capture another forked line across the sky.At least I got to see something.I see brighter sky coming now.
I saw a forked line too, quite early on in the storm, MK direction. Looked like the end of the world encroaching!
-
@Buzzard. Keeps getting lighter and then darker here, looks like the line of storms is back building from what I can see from MK. You may be in for more still.
Yep to a degree I suppose, still raining, but sky not that threatening. Good views of the storm moving off towards Luton area..
-
Storm not completely gone yet - serious rain with some decent hail too. Couple of decent close ish GC strikes. All good!

that was a cracking storm, some decent hail mixed in too, will affect Luton airport I would have thought..
-
Just arriving here! in line for a change!
-
at home for a change - biggun just arriving from the NW, some decent lightning, no CG yet though...
-
Christ that was LOUD!! Must be overhead in Camden now....
Much laughing in the office!!!!
-
Should have had rain in Camden going by the radar, but nothing on the ground...getting darker tho!
-
Christ that's real American prairie stuff! Always just a bit better than here. Wouldn't fancy being walloped by one of those hailstones!!Some pics of the supercells in Normandy - look later as the chasers will do a report. http://www.keraunos.org/actualites/fil-infos/2014/juillet/orage-19-juillet-ile-de-france-nord-aquitaine-limousin-auvergne-grele-rafales-de-vent-pluie-intense.html

Ha ha a tad wet. Another vote for how hot the Bedford river festival was!!
Now in Kempston at a barbie, amazed at how Far East the Swindon storm has come, virtually just turned right at Oxford !!
-
Holy Moly not had a night around these parts since the late 1980's - early 1990's. Had two very large high based thunderstorms overnight, first one just before 3am and the second around 5am, now have thunderstorms approaching once more. One to my west / north west and a stonker moving northwards from the Luton area. I'm knackered been up watching half the night.
Great wasn't it. Here in LB, I saw one hit an electricity pylon anout 500m away! Could see it in my eyes for 10 mins after it happened! Sadly missing the fun as I'm in London working, more storms in the area...

Loads of Thunder & Lightening in Hemel Hempstead, so the missus says - she's a schoolteacher and the kids are screaming apparently!!

Lets just all remember how bad last winter was - non stop mild, windy rubbish. At least we have a 'cold spell' as such! There's even been some snow
