    I like strong stuff though - i want to distil pure alcohol so i can just inject myself with it when i have got the shakes.

    Crikey, that is the worst thing to do.. That will just increase your tolerance 10 fold and do further harm at a rapid pace, making the cravings and withdrawals even worse. Do you not have a local charity recovery unit you can get a detox from? I have another detox next month which I'm hoping will get me off the poison once and for all

    I`m reading good old fashioned and always been reliable weather glass barometer 1037mbs probably a record in january it goes upto 1050mbs on a facing SW wall.

    I had the same issue with mine but reading high, mines a german analogue barometer mounted outside, that also reads up to 1050mb, but it went over the top of the scale at 1052 which obviously wasn't right, it's usually pretty accurate but I suppose if the pressure gets extreme then maybe the accuracy can sway a bit

    As you may have noticed I have begun to post the results of the Toronto study. It would help me if anyone could explain how one can edit type size in a post, as the toolbar that appears does not contain an option for that. I need to reduce some of the placeholder posted words to a better (smaller) type size. TIA. It will no doubt take a week or two to fill out all the posts that I set up. Just wanted to have all the data eventually appearing in sequence with any discussion after the data have all appeared. So kindly don't post in that thread until the data sets are complete. The excel file will become available in March when we have 180 full years of data (the series began on March 1st of 1840). 

    Are you using a PC/Laptop or phone? As the toolbar should come up like shown below on a PC, with the font size option near the end

    If the text has already been typed up and needs a size change, drag your cursor over the text you want to change, and just select a different size from the drop down box

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  4. I'm not sure of the year of this one but some time around 6 years ago the south east essex coast got snow on boxing day which is the only time in recent years I can remember snow around Christmas time

    Best and both worst at the same time are 2013 here - I think it was the night before Christmas Eve, Cyclone Dirk arrived and gave essex one hell of a wind storm, which at some point during the late evening directly aligned with my road facing north east, the howl of the wind is something I won't forget, gusting up to 75mph. But also very bad for local counties as when the low moved away, it dragged up one hell of a storm surge, creating flooding, loss of power, and then people nicking council provided generators which were given out so people could cook Christmas dinner

    It is a strange morning weather wise, as there is frost on top of the cars and some of the roofs but nothing on the lawns, shrubs and trees.  The temperature is 5.7 Celsius and humidity is at 75%.  The barometric pressure had been rising but it is now falling again and it is down to 1026.7.  The time is 08:23 am.  There is a fine mist forming and so as my late Dad would call it froggy weather.

    Same here in Pitsea, a fine haze in the air, frost on the cars but none on the grass, I think it's down to the ground temperature being slightly too high for a frost, the bodywork on the cars and the tiled roofs absorb the cold temperatures much faster than anything else

    You will not find one, their probability mapping does not cover any further than that which is shown. We had this a few years ago with another TS that crossed the date line.

    You have to go into the graphics archive and move to the most recent frame

    Thanks! Odd that their direct link doesn't show up the latest time frame

    I am wrong then!!

    I originally though it was a time zone issue too but looking at the key message image could see the full probability track, which kept me wondering why the full image wouldn't show, I remember seeing a full image yesterday but couldn't find it today lol

    Hi E.E.,

    Yes you are in pretty good "Thames Streamer" territory there. But this event behaved a little differently, than the norm.

    ............

    I do remember waking up to and recording a covering of around 13 inches the following morning over the garden, which was topped up on and off during the next few days! I don't remember it being extremely cold at the time. 2010 in the local area was almost the same in regards to snowfall, but without thunder, I think I remember that year being the year of the constant ice freeze thaw during the day & night, resulting in huge icicles hanging from gutters, some so thick you had to almost kick the door into them to get out of the house!
