    Bit of a cool down on the cards from next weekend, which is ideal for those thinking about putting Christmas decorations up, going to Christmas markets and so on.

    Hopefully no cold rain to go with it!

    I always pinpoint from this weekend onwards to start chasing the wintery dream! Think the 2009/10 spell started that for me 😀 Last year on Sunday December 11th I just about got home before it started pouring down with snow at about 6pm.

    I am sure the only snow I got 22/23 was last Nov/  Dec time.

    Someone in mad thread said about it being too early for the chase.

    I ve known it to snow end November into Dec?

    Was it last Nov or Dec in the South east we got a bit?

    Sunday December 11th we had snow, lasted in the garden for a whole week.

    2009/10 End of November and then again a week or so before Christmas, which melted just before Christmas Eve here!!

    It has been lovely today, but that's classic behaviour between storms!
     It would be even better if it was 5 degrees or more colder, of course. There is still a lot of surface water and mud around on the roads.

    Yeah, Wednesday looks a soggy one again!!

    If we have a wet Winter and that also includes any decent snowfall, some areas will be in serious trouble! The ground in some areas is absolutely saturated as it is.

    I for one am thankful to miss out on the worse of the wind (hopefully), perhaps it's an age thing.

    Last thing I need currently is to replace fence panels, roof(tiles) and what not.

    Saturated ground I'd say is the main concern, during my short journey today I noticed two walls down which both looked to be caused by saturated soil, that and probably not built properly, clay for example will swell when saturated, that creates movement and pressure on any wall/fence against it.

    87 Storm was a weird one for us, All the family slept through it, it wasn't until we had to get up for Work/School we noticed all the damage in our road. How it never woke us up we still don't know!

    Roof tiles off, brick wall down, multiple fences down, big tree up the road down.

    Just so lucky it came at night.

    Regarding Thursday, plenty of back and forth with the positioning, we will know more tomorrow. If you're nervous about it, I really wouldn't hang onto every word in the forum, you always get rampers and downgraders to suit. We all know realistically that 50/60mph gusts can and will cause damage/disruption, let alone 70+

    I'll be keeping an eye on the written updates from the Met Office.

    Really noticed a change in the leaves the last 10 days or so, some starting to fall, lovely autumnal colours.

    i expect a big fall from the trees by next weekend, just in time for bonfire night!!

    Today really is a day for staying in, watching tv or listening to the radio whilst having one eye looking outside the window. We've already got a lovely Lamb curry in the slow cooker for this evening 😋

    Rain no longer looks an issue for the SE of England tomorrow, where MO issued a yellow warning. Though still some uncertainty with the track of that low that develops over E English Channel before drifting somewhere over England. Fax chart, EC and GFS for noon tomorrow shows the differences

    Indeed Nick, I had a notification through about half hour ago stating the warning has been Cancelled for here in the SE (Kent).
