My goodness, it's a tiny bit windy in Wetwang (*childish giggle*)

Am baby/kid-sitting this evening over in Newton Regis, so will be reporting on the weather here for tonight and tomorrow morning. Currently it's trying to rain harder, but still a small-ish shower. Also the wind has picked up a fair bit.

Currently light rain edging back on just "spitting", however there's the odd few strong gusts every 5-10 minutes. Also because of a (still) ongoing DDoS attack, I cannot access my site to get the latest readings for me, however Wunderground are saying I'm currently at 978mb.

For anyone having problems viewing the Met Office's current batch of warnings for today, Friday and Saturday on your phone, tablet, etc.. here's some pics for you. Hope that helps.

Well I always picture it in my head similar to ducks crossing... so I suppose below is how I see it in my mind. (My poor attempt Photoshop attempt in bottom-half)

The Mother's just text me to say she's just had to give way to a Wheelie-bin crossing the road. Chaos.

Thank you, I am now stuck whistling "If I only had a brain". :/

I got a fiver on it being a wheelie-bin. Oh my local weather thingy has the wind speeds recording again... it suddenly stopped reporting at 14:15. :/

Same here Bish, it seemed to have had a fag break for a bit and now picking back up once again - weirdly though, there's no damage here... then again the fence panels have been left unrepaired (as it'd be pointless) during the whole of this 5-months worth of storms. :/

The wind's picking up a lot here (heaviest gusts happening every minute or so, and are coming through like a bunch of charging Rhino's), starting to hear the house creak a bit too.

Been out on a date today - so only just got back... but what a random day for the weather! I looked outside at 10:00am and it was lightly raining, let the dog out for a tinkle and when she came back in the light rain turned heavier for about 5 minutes, then about 10:30am it switched to hail (that started really bucketing it down). After about 5-10 minutes of this, it started going lighter, so I thought excellent time to leave and walk down the town to the cashpoint. The second I leave the house, boom! The hail turns to light snow... then with every passing minute it got heavier and heavier - the flakes grew in size too (not going OTT here, but some of the flakes were HUGE! Easily 3-4cm+). At one point it was basically impossible to walk... the snow was coming down in vast quantities and also there were strong winds - so the snow was pretty much travelling horizontally and smashing you in the face (so you couldn't see). Suffice to say, with the slush from the hail and blizzard conditions earlier, I was soaked! Never in my life have I wanted to get into a (warm) pub as quick as I did today.

Currently -1.3°C (at 8am), much different to yesterday's 8am reading of 6.8°C. Might go to the shop whilst there's hardly any wind at all - should be one of those nice chilly mornings.

I have seen before yeah, I'll wait until we're at the 36-48h point. Nothing can ever be 100% ruled out.

Oh my...

My Weather Stats for 8th Feb (so far) Pres Low: 967mb (1700 & 1715) Pres High: 980mb (0000) Temp Low: 5.4°c (0600) Temp High: 9.9°c (1115) Wind High: 34.2mph (1400 [south] & 1545 [south])

Getting a fair load of powerful pro-longed gusts here... I've gave up with picking the wheelie-bin back up again.

The wind has started picking up about 20 minutes ago, but as triple_x1 said "in bursts". They're quite hefty gusts too... whistling through the cracks (oh matron!).

Bit nippy in the breeze outside, besides that, it's alright looking outside - for the time being. Current View (15:00)

Well in the past hour, it's gone fairly cloudy and teh wind's still picking up - but no rain as of yet, but I think it should be hitting us very soon. Current View (17:03)

Very windy and my goodness it's nippy in the wind too... just came back from taking the dog a walk and I can barely type. Brr... but that's all there is at the moment. Fairly clear blue skies, very windy and no precip of any kind. 16:15 Temp: 5.5°C (feeling 0.0°C) Hum: 72% Pres: 984mb Wind: 25.4mph (West)

Cor, not going to lie, but that just gave me a lump in my throat.I thoroughly agree, snow is magic.

Just had about 3 minutes of light snow... was very nice looking and now it's gone. :/ [Edit] It's back again... oh nope, stopped. Ok, all-in-all it has been snowing (lightly) and it's currently in "teasing" mode.

Currently temp is still dropping slowly and is at 1.8°C, looking on the "snow radar", a few areas of Birmingham have what looks like snow, but then you move a few miles over to me and it's light rain. :/

Lowest it got to in the past 24 hours was at 3:15-3:30am, 4:45am and 6:00-6:15am with a temp of 4.8°C. Chart of previous 24 hours

Mine's rising still... currently on 8.8c :/
