  1. The storm reached here a few minutes ago - frequent thunder, not much lightning but the wind is howling!
  2. Sorry to hear the sad news about your father. I have taken some time off and have been pottering in the garden after having some bad news myself this week. It really does seem to help bring peace, in some small way. Wishing you all the best.
  3. I'm at Crossways and it's still lovely and sunny! Edit: Just started raining lightly now.
  4. Morning all. Likewise, it started dull and drizzly but it's now bright sunshine and drying off nicely. Really wish it would stay like this for the rest of the week as I have a couple of days off.
  5. I went away for 2 days, came back last night ...and you were gone . I know I'm only echoing other sentiments but I've enjoyed getting to know people's (online) personalities and it will be a loss for me should I not get to 'see' you for the rest of the year. I tend not to notice any disagreements unless they're too obvious and I'm sure the most other don't either - we simply come on to share our weather obs, have a look at what some of our very talented fellow 'regionnaires' make of the models (JP & Tamara to name but a couple) which helps us to plan different aspects of our lives, read Abruzzi Spur's poetic way with words, lenjoy BJ's lovely photos of my home county. I would like to name check every one of you who helps make me feel like I'm part of a community - that's all of you. Not just the members that post every day but all of you, whatever you have to say. Glad to have you back, even if it's not for long. Sentimental moment over! After a very sunny start, cloud is staring to build. Warm in the sun but there's a noticeable breeze keeping the overall temperature feeling a little cool. Enjoy your bank holiday everyone
  6. Overcast and cool at work in Dartford. Very much looking forward to the possibility of a warm and sunny bank holiday, although we're going to stay on the Sussex coast for a couple of days next week to celebrate our wedding anniversary and of course, all signs point to rain on Wednesday / Thursday when I had visions of walking hand-in-hand on a deserted beach, the sun warming our faces, love in our hearts..... I shall pack the waterproofs. Have a lovely day all.
  7. No sun at work in Dartford, still very overcast and grey. Really hoping for some exciting weather today as it's my birthday and I can't remember ever having a good old storm on my birthday. Sunshine and warmth - yes; freezing cold and raining - yes. a cracking storm - not yet.....!
  8. It's still going strong - I know storms were mentioned but I didn't think we'd see anything exciting here!
  9. The rain has arrived with a vengeance; Very dark, lights on, heating on, temp 10c - and thunder as I type!
  10. I was just about to write, and then I saw your post - they're not good for snowflake watching! Admittedly, we've not had much opportunity this Winter to partake, but it's difficult to see rain - they just don't cast a 'glow' around the lamp and there's not enough contrast. I worked in the lighting industry for 14 years and know the pros but I have to admit, I do miss the warm, orangey glow from the old sodium lamps - the new LEDs give a much colder, less welcoming feel to the streets. Just personal preference! Weather wise, warmer than I expected this morning; 2 loads of washing done and on the line and some plants re-potted. Such a shame we have a cool, rainy Sunday to contend with now we have a few days off. http:////d321955.r.worldssl.net/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/sad.png Happy Easter everyone!
  11. Sadly the weather today isn't as lovely as it was yesterday, infact it's depressingly cloudy. Fingers crossed it brightens up later! Happy Friday peeps Great photos Snow Raven! I'm just down the road in Dartford where the cloud has broken and the sun is shining, so you should hopefully see something a bit more cheerful soon :-) Sorry about the formatting here - looks like I've stolen your post and made it look like my own
  12. Yes! I thought I could smell gas when I stepped outside this morning (Orpington). Glad I'm not the only one. Weatherwise, it's overcast. Was hoping for another glimpse of the sunshine before the weekend's rain but not convinced that#ll happen.
  13. That's my station, thanks for the info. After a lull in the wind, it's getting breezy again now but nothing out of the ordinary yet.
  14. Every time you've reported a flicker, we've had one too at exactly the same time - about 150 miles away!
  15. Our cast iron door knocker is knocking on the (semi-sheltered) front door in the wind - we've lived in this house for over 10 years and I've never heard it do that before. I keep thinking we have unannounced visitors!
  16. The squall has reached us at work in Dartford. Hail and what looks like small flakes of wet snow blowing in the wind. Lasted all of 3 minutes!
  17. That's weird, my weather station is recording an overnight low of only (!) -4.1 - and I'm a few miles out of the town centre.
  18. I'm in Crossways :-). Light rain most of the afternoon after about an hour of snow at lunchtime.
  19. And we have very light snow beginning to fall here now..
  20. I thought the same! It's really glittery - seems quite icy as it settles, if that makes sense!
