@TomSE12 it is compulsory to wear masks and visors at our nursing home and yep for 12 and a half hours but we are all used to It now ... weather wise all I can say is yuck ! What a dank day again ! Snow wise I don’t think my area will see much and if so not sure will settle ! I will take each day as it comes and window/lamppost watch

So many conflicting reports of whats happening here in the SE this weekend. Some getting really excited and some tempering it with mild sectors and rain.

Something tells me there are a lot in here that haven't really got a clue.

Some of us do have a clue and others don’t that’s all part of the fun of being a community

Crikey Kold. You sure know how to pi$$ on a chaps chips. But I know from old that you tend to be right so I’ve chucked the sledge to the farthest part of the garage. Roll on spring. 

And lots of sunshine

We've been quite lucky in regards to heat in recent years down here, which I suppose does make up for the lack of snow if thats your thing.

I admit I'm an extreme weather fan. So I'm not 100% wedded to snow and cold, for example a powerful storm, or a very high end heatwave will also get me very much invested, as I was during the last heatwave back in early August.

I doubt we are going to get that lucky again though for a 4th year in a row....got a gut feeling this might be one of those stinkers coming up!

I’m with you there , I love the extreme heat .. getting ok with thunderstorms now we are becoming aquatinted lol as before I would literally hide from them! The heat in aug was great but I was mostly at work and in a nursing home the heating is on all year but we wasn’t allowed the fans on either

I wouldn’t give up hope just yet. It would only take some small adjustments to bring us back into the snow zone. We are probably talking a less than 100 mile shift south east with that low to pull in that frigid north easterly. I will certainly wait for the morning suite before really worrying there are still models and ensembles good enough for the whole region.

On the other hand I better start searching good recipes for meals involving hats.....

Iol , usually between late feb to April is our snowy time these days?

Believe it or not the 12z ECM actually has decent periods of sunshine on Sunday, not wall to wall but it'd make for a cold but nice winters day.

Whilst the northerners get utterly smashed.

I love the snow as you may well know , I used to post here all the time a few years back , I would be up all night at the slightest sniff of snow and lamp post watch , these days I get so disappointed as snow seems less and less each year , I am also a sun worshiper so any sunshine and I’m there but do prefer it to be wall to wall blazing hot sunshine  

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion February 2021 onwards]

If I can’t have snow can I have some sun please

painting has never got me wet and windy, a bit of paint splashes maybe but nothing much more than that   

This isn’t the 3 word forum and actually I only managed to get one blob of gloss on me ! But when that sunshine was blazing through I stoped painting and embraced them rays !! 

 

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion February 2021 onwards]

Well I have been watching the weather from my window as I was painting today and it went from lovely sunshine to wet and wind getting up , still not feeling cold as yet

The two squall lines seem to have merged to a degree. Wind gusts are also increasing ahead of it and temps dropping like a stone behind it... it could be a torrid few hours ahead.

Yes it’s really going for it now along the coast a bit in Icklesham, laid both wheelie bins down before they get pushed! 

We don’t have wheelie bins here in Uxbridge ( wish we did would stop the foxes ripping open the bin bags ) taking of foxes I hope the wind keeps the foxes out of the garden tonight they seem mighty noisy of late ? 

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion Sept 2019 onwards]

Cold and wet ! Wind has picked up so much in the last hour ... the wind to me seems much more intense than last weeks “storm” 

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion Sept 2019 onwards]

Freezing my bits off it’s come over so dark here in Uxbridge. Not looking  forward to another windy spell it’s hard to ride my bike in it

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion Sept 2019 onwards]

Wind has really picked up again here (Uxbridge) 

I shall ask Alexa what the chances of snow is like ... she may laugh at me ️

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion Sept 2019 onwards]

Went for a very long walk with my dog ... actually wasn’t that bad a big gust now and then...and got soaked

Hi SFQ, huge thanks for the great work you do in the NHS.   The trouble as I see it is that if info is given out about where people have been found to be infected then it just fuels exactly the hysteria we all want to avoid.  Mobs, innocent people harassed, pitchforks at dawn and all that.

Let's all keep some perspective.

Understood but there is the press that hype it and us who are in the thick of it that need the correct information... that’s all my trying to say
