Significant rain, currently. Outside temp gauge broken due to gusty conditions midday.

Thank god for that, a new page that can load without a multitude of links or heavy burden on browser, to some looking for recent Storm activity with slow internet.
@Robert1981 The 3rd one you asked it is the UKMO / Iceland Lightning detection. Or ADT Network.
Linky here: https://brunnur.vedur.is/athuganir/eldingar/i_dag_na.html?

Its a old habit for me i tend to look at all convective outlooks, day in day out what ever time of year.
Glad that lightning is showing but its the time to be very aware of wind gusts now possible 3 hours of peak activity now.

Update, i was wrong. The small squall dissipated.
Im sorry i was to early.
A few strikes to Mid Wales just now.
Main feature is now the much stronger squall to southern Ireland area bearing North East also giving off some lightning too.
Again, i could be wrong but worth keeping a eye on.

I have no idea if cross posts work, anyway a copy and paste might be sucsessfull?

Well, well Estofex has gave a storm warning.
Its been windy and gusty at times here, a destroyed fence panel; with the bins dancing around.
Weak orange glow again after sunset. Must be the jetstream overhead optical phenomina.
Keep a eye on the squall line thats currently entering south Wales i think that was the reason for the forecast from Estofex Quote:
A level 2 was issued across parts of far SE-Ireland/NW-UK mainly for (extremely) severe wind gusts but also for a nocturnal tornado threat with a strong event possible.
A level 1 surrounds the level 2 with similar hazards but lower probabilities.-

I wonder if this launch were Elon's viewing to making the Super heavy?
Anyway, the music was by Queen so need i say more
Very poor quality im sorry, but somtimes makes it better from ones point of view. Note turn down volume at 2mins 10!

A couple of images took yesterday afternoon as the thaw was going on, used the drone in light rain too - but not for long, i did get higher but the mist base was too low to capture anything decent. I should have got out eairler but i had been awake best part of 22 hours so a nice sleep was on the cards!
Short lived but that night was Ace.

Gritters, good point not seen one at all, my ring cam triggers vehicles on the lane, and the Ice warning is now valid after the snow.

Thankyou
I was chuffed even with a glimpse. Planning a trip to Lapland for next winter so hoping for proper lights once there 
Wow, you will see them there, just keep a eye on the solar cycle - as you know the live camers are there. In time ill try send you a few links than might be helpfull, as an amateur astronomer / weather watcher, my old saying is to look up not down, how many do that these days?

You might be a about half a cm higher than here but not 100% sure as ive not gone out and done any sort of test lol, but coming down pretty good now seems to be accumulating more rapidly so probably around the same now or soon enough.
Cant resist the ol' slipper test! Best i could thow together in quick time, after being up from 4am. That said its still snowing here but upon looking at the radar, conditionds will dissipate - then i think the ice warning will be apparent.
Its been a great night in the Mids thread, i have not 'drifted' elseware

Still snowing here, got about 0.5 - 1cm, cant tell in the dark but definitely still snowing.
Likwise here, some places non touched some snowed on.
I done the slipper test, 1.8cm and i did not 'slip' over - i nearly did tho!
Technically that could be 2cm as the snow compacted under foot. Another reason i miss my feline friend, he only made one track on his paws, came back the same way. There, a starwars tip there if i ever!

-1.2c currently and raining.
Thank god it's late at night as it will be an ice rink for the next hour or so.
No wonder for the past 3 hours ive heard no 'boy racers' go belting down the lane here - is usually like a grand prix on a saturday night here!!
