It’s definitely raining in Dorking

Just got woken up by a beast of a thunder clap in Dorking. Never been so happy to feel some fresh air. Been lucky to have something down on the Isle of Wight and now up at home. This one isn’t quite the same though!

Wherever this thing goes you are in for an absolute treat. 2 hours in and still going strong. Constant lightning, the. You think it’s moving off and then the wind and rain pick up and then you are back in it. Got to be up in about 5 hours to go paddleboarding...

No way they are heading nnw towards portsmouth
In Seaview on the Isle of Wight (should I be in this thread? I am usually in Surrey!) and we have had a light show to the south for about an hour. Getting closer now and now starting to hear the rumbling thunder! Not going to sleep much tonight.... Dorking has missed out on all the storms so far so very excited about this!

These photos do not do any kind of justice to tonight’s sunset. Taken from Ranmore Common near Dorking.

I hope so!!
Last time I did spinning, I couldnt walk properly the day after. You're a braver person than me!
I try and do two classes a week but can’t say I enjoy it. I live for the feeling afterwards though.
Just walking home and there are a few drops of rain falling. Very very welcome as the spin studio was like a sauna!

What are the chances I sleep through this?!
I was thinking that - it’s a bit later than I would like to stay up for but still get enough sleep! Also, my spinning class will wipe me out. Looks like Dorking and Epsom could be in the sweet spot this time. Fingers crossed

Been a few rumbles/claps of thunder in Dorking. Rain very heavy right now...

Thank you my friendly Spy!!!
I wasn’t even supposed to be in Dorking today - I had to buy some new ski gloves as my mine have disappeared since my last trip to snowy North America last year!

There is snow on Box Hill - not sure if there’s as much as Newlands Corner though.

Still tanking down here, that's 7 solid hours!! Looking very pretty!! As promised, following a thrilling rugby match, @DAVE ALLEN and @kold weather here's some pics. Taken ten mins ago.. This had significant built up since this afternoon when it was all melting
Ah, I am very happy the hills have had so much snow. Any other Saturday and I would be out there playing in it. This time I am off to Banff where they have a snow storm bringing 10-40cms! Will be interesting to see if we land in Calgary where scheduled to do so, or somewhere else in Canada instead.

I'm not ready to move on yet... This one's decided to ok itself right over us and not move.... I'm being selfish.... We might not get another chance
How’s Holmbury SM looking? Left Dorking just as it started settling earlier and have been stressing about packing for the -20 and below temps in the Canadian Rockies and having nowhere near enough space in my suitcase!

More tonight ?
Purely selfishly... no thanks . Tonight was fun and all and we have a goodish covering in Dorking but I have a plane to catch on Saturday.
The snow lover in me... bring it on
-
Definitely popping up again here in Dorking. Will it fall a little heavier this time?
-
Snow’s just about falling again here in Dorking. I think. You have to squint a bit to see it...

Going to be one of those slow ‘opening of the curtains’ in the morning ......full of expectations ...........bit like watching doctor who from behind the sofa when you were a kid (you’re not of that generation but plenty on here are) .....
A few times during the BFTE that that sinking feeling happened here in Dorking

Certainly beginning to look good for us!! I had to drive into Dorking at about half 3 this afternoon. The lying snow from Tuesday petered out just outside westcott... But was flipping cold, never got over 2 in either direction
We didn’t get much in Tuesday night - the ice was awful though and made for an interesting walk to work. Tomorrow morning should be fun if it doesn’t thaw quickly!

Starting to settle on the pavements and roads. Not seen that in Dorking for a while...

Looks like the Isle of Wight might be cut off at some point today
