    Thanks anyway,I think I'm beginning to see what's going on. The piccie of the St Jude storm with the big black dry area over Denmark has helped.Am I right to think that the wee tip curling into the black area,the very centre of the system, is the sting jet?

    Can't get the webcast to play

    Ok, I'm beginning to think I'm dumber than I thought I was. I've read all the links given on the sting jet, I've looked it up and I still can't wrap my head around it. I just can't grasp it. The diagrams I've looked at have just confused me more. Is there anyone out there who can explain this to me?

    Passing shower of graupel and snow. Have hopes for this evening.

    Just for info so you can compare it to the models,we have a very light dusting of snow which came down between 6 pm and 10 pm with the odd flake still falling. Noteven enough to cover the ground let alone have any depth.

    Vet coming on Wednesday to do pony's teeth so I can guarantee that it will be -25C, 150 mph easterly and 16 feet of snow

    Wind finally picking up here. It's been dead calm all day.

    Woke up to 2 inches of the white stuff today. We had blizzards last night. Today only the occasional flurry and the air is dead calm, plenty of sunshine. Temp has now dropped to below freezing, no sign of the weather that we've had warnings about.

    Snow near Livi, we're at about 200m, so not that high up.

    Currently snowing in my neck of the woods!

    As promised, an update on my central heating. Engineer out today and got it working, but it needs a part that they don't have.Probably won't get it until next week so while we're still waiting for a permanent fixyou can rest assured that we're still in with a chance of really cold weather. Once the new part is put in, I expect the weather to immediately change to unbroken sunshine and unseasonal temps of around 25C. Sigh...

    Don't lose hope guys! My central heating died on the 23rd December and it's still dead. Now, past experience has taught me that when the central heating dies, that's when we get the coldest spell. So while my central heating is dead there's always a good chance of an arctic blast. This seems to be a much more reliable model for forecasting cold. I'll keep you all informed.

    Guys, I really need some assistance here. I'm a complete weather numpty when it comes to the charts. I've been following the previous thread and yes, I can see what's happening, but I'd love for someone to produce a chart for the current situation, a chart for the stunner we got today and annotate them, especially the current one to show clearly what is predicted to happen. By annotated I mean arrows, circles, numbers... whatever and explain what's happening... which bit's going here, which bit's going there. Thanking you humbly in anticipation.

    Strange things happening just east of me. Looking east, the cloud on the left moving to the right and the cloud on the right moving to the left and they bumped into each other. It was pretty low wispy cloud, backed by what looks like a very dark anvil with undulatus on its northern edge. Behind the wispy cloud, away in the distance to the east I watched a tower zoom up. Luckily there was a lamppost in front of it so I could see how fast it went. Bear in mind that this tower is possibly over 20 miles from me, I'm thinking waaaaaay to the east of Edinburgh. We have blue streaks appearing in the west and it hasn't cooled dramatically. I have a feeling that if the sun breaks through it's going to be unbearably humid.

    Seems to still be off the west coast of the mainland, but I'm having trouble getting a decent look cos the Met office web site is having "issues outwith their control".

    BTW, pages ago, some time last night a poster commented that next time they go storm chasing they're gonna use a boat (because all of the activity was in the Irish Sea at the time.) I believe the last time those words were uttered can be attributed to Noah and we all know what happened to him

    About 8 minutes ago the BBC stated that "heavy downpours are expected in Scotland". It was hammering down for about an hour between 8.30 and 9.30 am! Expected? Expected??? How about currently ongoing north of here now! This isn't even a now-cast, it's a past-cast. "Let us tell you that you've just been rained on." Thank you, Captain Obvious, much gratitude from a very wet person who's just finished dealing with the horses.Without your magnificent insight I would have been left puzzled all day as to why water was currently dripping off me and forming a small puddle around me

    Interesting radar

    Report from "that area" - Scotland's getting a good pasting
  21. Fiona Robertson
    I'm watching your area on lightningmaps.org and it's creeping closer to you.
  22. Fiona Robertson
    See? Told ya so

    You might be just about to get lucky, strikes in Caernarfon. There seem to be separate cells forming as the active region moves up the Irish Sea. The strikes are to the east of the red blobs on the rainfall radar and wee new cells seem to be creeping eastwards.

    A dry anything in Scotland is rare.

    Towers all gone
