  1. Country tracks forecast was rather disappointing - much more interesting reading the model thread - at least they mention the chance of a pasting in there
  2. Apparently, by this time next week no one will be able to leave their houses for fear of freezing instantly in the -17 wind chill
  3. Finally we can start getting over excited in the regional threads
  4. Popped out for an afternoon walk to enjoy the sunshine and blue skies, came home to find my warnngs had vanished. Keep telling the family to tie up the garden furniture then nothing much happens, they'll be accusing me of crying wolf next time
  5. For us snow starved southerners, type "let it snow" into Google
  6. Rain here with a few big blobs of snow mixed in but with temp and dewpoint at 4, this is probably as wintery as it's going to get
  7. There is some very vey light precipitation out there at the moment, so light it is hard to tell if it is snowy or drizzly but although it's a balmy 5 deg with a 3.9 dewpoint, it feels v cold
  8. Thanks Yamkin, dramatically red, but something to look forward to after my afternoon xmas shopping in Croydon, where can I watch this evolve?
  9. Big flakes in Croydon now coming down quite fast, may even see a slight build up on the car soon!
  10. Was that the heavy band that came north to south and surprised everyone? It was very heavy and reached me about rush hour, what fun, although it settled it didn't stick around for long if I remember right
  11. Woke up to fast fat futile flakes, eased off to small and sleety, but just picked up again. Nice to watch but without the prospect of settling even a bit, and with the rain puddles on the ground it's also rather sad
  12. After all the build up to the storm tonight we are now clutching at straws and the sight of just a few wet snowflakes will justify all the time and effort put in to forum watching this week
  13. It's kind of weird that we are all here on the storm thread discussing the non existent storm - lol! Still hoping for surprise snowfall despite being in the zone of no weather. Probably means staying up too late and lamppost checks throughout the night. I know I really am setting myself up for disappointment but hey - that's what we do:)
  14. So no exciting weather event to look forward to for us in south london now
  15. Weather station software back up and running. My highest all time gust was 26.6 in November 2009, I have just registered 23.5 so hoping to break the record tonight. Gusts always slightly lower in my sheltered garden then in real life, Kenley just had 43mph. Pressure 993 and falling 2.3/hr. Looking crazy out there
  16. Bugger - note to self - don't try and update your weather station software in the middle of an event. No readings - so eyewitness reports only for now - it's raining and quite windy
  17. Since tonight's storm has downgraded in the last 24hrs to a bit breezy with lots of rain and the yellow warning no longer covers London, I'm not holding my breath for a biggy on Friday unless it is still there 24hrs before. Hatches have been battened here but maybe a bit prematurely - won't stop me avidly watching the forums tho
  18. Welcome to the forum weathergeek:) I've been lurking here for a while trying to learn something and I know much more now than when I started but not enough to make a call on a forecast! Winter is my favorite time on here and it's good that we all have these storms to talk about when there is no snow on the horizon, I love the way things can change tho, and who knows what the rest of the winter will bring:)
  19. My interpretation of the countrywise forecast and the latest MetO update is that things are going to be windy here but not really stormforce, perhaps a few big gusts but nothing spectacular or particularly memorable, which is a shame from my extreme weather loving perspective. Bit of a downgrade after all these forum reports getting my hopes up. All eyes to friday then...
  20. Well in the absence of a snow watch thread I am now addicted to storm watching. Certainly an interesting week coming up and looks like a chance of stocking up on wood for next year if a few trees come down.
  21. Days to hours calculation for the hard of maths....can never remember how many days the hours on the charts relate to so this might help someone else too
  22. Am waiting for the squall line to hit here in south london, looks like it is due any minute - it's probably the most exciting weather we are going to get for a while
  23. Let's hope they are the snow advanced party as there are loads here in Wallington too at the moment (with a huddle of twitchers watching nearby)
