    Definitely picking up now here in the Surrey Hills....a low level howl with some short pitched interludes.....

    My wife has it in her head that we need to go shopping at Bluewater tomorrow, a good hour’s drive on the best of days from the Surrey Hills ....I keep saying that given the Amber warning, the forecasts etc that it rally isn’t a good idea....I’ll leave any further injection into the conversation until the morning

    Afternoon @TomSE12....thank you for updating the “Odds”...I noticed that your “runners and riders’ are based on your original list....my now date is the 29th Feb, not March, which you had changed.....sorry to cause you more hassles!! Not sure if the list above had any other mis-types....... Enjoy the rest fo the day....beautifullly sunny up in the Surrey Hills today....I suspect very different to what we will see up here in the comings days!!

    Thank you @TomSE12 for the update... far more entertaining than watching either the MAD thread or Stav on the BBC this evening.... The weather here in the Surrey Hills is very murky...Unfortunately a bit like watching the mood on all the main tv channels this evening... As Roy Waller ( an old radio BBC Radio Norwich DJ world probably have said) ..Brexit and the lack of snow..,,”it ain’t funny, but you gotta laugh “

    I remember it well Tom....the school where I still teach, up in the Surrey Hills, was deluged! We had 4-5ft icicles hanging from some of the buildings in the following days!

    Hello Tom, sorry to throw your odds out....just checked back to make sure it wasn’t my blunder....I had said 29th Feb....fortunately I’ll hopefully be seeing falling and lying snow on the 29th March as well as I’m off to St Moritz on our school skiing holiday...

    Thank you @snowray for the late entry and @TomSE12 for the forecasts!! It brings a little excitement to the otherwise fruitless search for snow this winter

    Am I too late to enter? 29th Feb.... sorry have been at work al day and have only just sat down to have a little look at what’s been going on!!

    @Midlands Ice Age love reading your posts and have been especially interested in the Ozone levels you have been investigating. Was wondering what the current situation is? Is there still a pool developing over Siberia as I think you mentioned over the festive period (if I remember correctly)?

    Just had 30 minute power cut here in the Surrey Hills.... very windy, even the sustained wind speed, let alone the gusts. 10yr old daughter says “this is a bit scary daddy”... reply...”this is nothing I lived through the Great Storm of ‘87”.... rolled eyeballs in response

    They are great, thank you!

    And also the A25

    A great set of photos, and I have to say, as an historian, I spent some time looking into the history of the Erith pier of the back of these.... it has a very interesting history... Would be great to see what @TomSE12 has to say about these photos.... I’m sure that he’d have a great winter story to add to them....

    Mmmm... John Hammond on the SE news almost wanted to hint that something this evening “no significant cold... just yet”.... at least it’s more tantalising than Darren “at least it’ll be mild” Bett!!

    So.... a Christmas discussion with the children today during our sejourn in Cornwall.... all revolves around Father Christmas..... if you don’t believe in the tooth fairy or the sandman or the Easter Bunny or Jack Frost and finally your faith in Father Christmas goes that’s not only meaning the end of presents from the big man but also means that winter will never be cold again....... OK so which member of the MOD thread has stopped believing and stuffed us all over

    Enjoying a Christmas Break in North Cornwall this week. A visit to Tintagel Castle today was fantastic. A whole host of weather.... from torrential rain to beautiful sunshine... with everything in between. A lovely respite from endless rain and grey skies

    That green point was so sudden.... sat eating breakfast at The Pheasant in Buckland on the A25..., beautiful sunshine then in about 1mn ferocious winds and squally rain..., probably something sleety but the breakfast was too good to ignite I’m afraid
  21. John Stevens
    Clearly weather underground is on to something for next week here in Surrey
  22. John Stevens
    Lovely crisp clear day in the Surrey Hills today. Not as chilly as I was expecting it to be whilst spending three hours being shot at by Nerf gun’s in the stocks at the school Christmas fair. Beautiful sunset at Newlands Corner on the North Downs this evening.

    We had strong gusting winds into 2pm, then squally showers here in the surrey hills. It had all passed by 6pm...

    Heading off to St Moritz with Club Med on the 29th March. Leading my school trip with 50 others. Last (This) year at the same time Serre Chevalier was perfect for the time of year, height etc. So St Moritz should given its heights be amazing..... can’t wait

    Very stormy here in the surrey hills, with about 30min off torrential rain. Cracking rumbles of thunder, and looks like some more to come before the end of the evening. Living at the top of a hill has its advantages, but I do worry about friends and family lower down!
