I'm just about old enough to have experienced the 1987 storm, wasn't a great experience at the time. I remember a walk to the corner shop with my mum the next day, they stayed open to sell essentials, we had to step over smashed bricks, roof tiles and go around fallen trees on the paths and grass verges.
I remember that but none of the news stories on the TV. 1987 Storm
Now that was during the night, I hate to think what may happen during the day on Friday!

We've just put some new fence panels in. If they get blown down again, I will be fining Eunice and Dudley.
Start knocking up some supportive leg braces for the panels and posts if wooden!!

It's a good job the trees aren't in leaf, that doesn't mean they can't fall though, especially watch out for shallow rooted conifers.
-
Plenty of twists and turns to come no doubt, but at least some interesting weather to focus on.
Ready for a ride on the rollercoaster?

wind or the best fall of snow I'm ever likely to see ..this is the snow chart
I was thinking more of the hurricane, but 1987 does often get forgotten about for deep snow!
I guess it depends how bad the hurricane was for some.

Twas a tad blowy a wee while back. But at least, with the new 8-in-1 multi cooker my daughter just bought me, I'll be eating curry & chips every day this week!
Could be a little windy, come Friday!
Try a slow cooked gammon in cola or a pork loin in cola, highly recommend!
As for the wind, that'll be the Mutton Vindaloo (aka Del Boy)

Shepherds warning!

Nice to read reports of snow in this thread, can't complain it's still early doors!
Early next week looks of interest (Monday AM), but really hope it's not a cold rain event, Because that'll be Tuesday :)

Snow is forecast for me Saturday morning. For possibly the first time ever I'd like it to hold off until Sunday as I have important things Saturday. It certainly feels like snow is brewing out there, absolutely freezing. Winter is kicking in with a vengeance!
It'll be wet messy snow if at all, No real accumulations if any.
Hopefully I'm wrong with plenty of poached, fried and scrambled on my face.
But it's great to have this excite in November, shades of 2009/10.

Hopefully some interesting weather this weekend, Sunday looking eventful but hopefully flooding to a minimum.

what all this about snow monday . that said is it april fools day today
Probably more sleet and hail for the South East IMO, but still an interesting brief spell coming up. The feel like temperatures will be of interest.

On Tuesday night I mentioned about the yellow/red (blob) area of precipitation on the radar just off the coast of Ramsgate, it remained all the way through last night also....what causes that? It was like a dragon's mouth firing the precipitation, didn't move and was constantly showing on the radar....?
-
Perhaps wishful thinking but I'm trying to recall the year we had decent snowfall and a cold stretch like this one before milder weather arrived, giving a false pretence of Spring....only for us to go back in the freezer two/three weeks later with another dumping of snow.....was it 94?

Loads more incoming on the radar for hours yet ...
Ok thanks, just now seems all to the east of me at present, those in line fade out as they past Colchester.
-
Decent snow flurries at times earlier today.
Is that it for NW/N Kent for today or a little flurry or two this evening?
-
Be very careful outside over the next few days, it's really icy, went to get the dog in from the garden and slipped on ice from where I had cleaned the patio and path off.
Luckily only my pride and buttocks hurting, think I'm going to feel that in the morning!

I have never analysed a lamppost in as much detail as the last 48 hours.
I've been dating one, but it gave me a cold shoulder after 48hrs of hugging it.

Slight concern regarding the break and stalling of the stuff coming out of Holland and across the North Sea on the latest radar shots.
