  1. The same here, been in and out of the Mod Thread for quite some time and yet am none the wiser especially after today. Anyone would have thought we are heading for serious cold/snow but apparently it would appear it will be no more than just a blip. The one saving grace being that those who have/are flooded out should get a respite from the deluge that has been the last 2 months.

    No doubt we'll all know more re cold/snow early next week, but must say am looking forward to some cold crispy days/nights and a foot or 2 of snow would be perfection!!!

  2. On the edge of one cell here at Ampney Crucis, an awful lot of CtoC lightening with very few forks seen as storm approached, not a huge amount in the way of thunder either. As it passed there were quite a few forks observed  with the occasional cloud to ground strike, torrential rain, 19mm in 20 mins but was surreal to watch the cell pass only for the moon to come out and light the cloudscape up. Managed to get a few half decent pictures but wasn't the best prepared and only from the bedroom window! Wasn't as good photo wise as the storm last year. The crops on the farm will be grateful of the rain!

  3. Def lenticular clouds, the rough looking cu underneath is more than likely rotor cu, often associated with lee waves, if you did a time lapse the Lennies would pretty much stay in the same place and the cu under them would be seen to form, roll and then dissipate with a constant supply of fresh cloud forming on the windward edge. Turbulent airflow under the laminar airflow (where the lenticulars are)

    As a glider pilot lenticulars are my favorite for of lift, found on the windward side of the cloud, simply magic to be amongst them and witness mother nature at her best, the views from above are simply stunning too!
