I can't believe it's not better

There was a lightning bolt here aswell, near the time your all saying - could have been the same one - very loud here (I had my windows shut).

After a suprise 2,000,000 volts of electricity here (he,he) - quiet windy, now and again,dry. Look s like more weather could be on the way!

None here either Stuart! Edti: Though would have thought there should be.

There seems to be quite a few images that people have posted that I can't see - for instance Wilco has posted something today, presumably showing snow - and I can't see it. From the responses in the threads, such as (wow, cool!) and (I hope we get some of that...) etc, it looks as though other people can see these images, but not me. Is it me, or is it me? Thanks.

Rain and blustery wind overnight, vaguely sunny for a time this morning, now fairly brisk thin low cloud coming from s/w, damp.

Still here, sunny, raining.

That was thunder then, wasn't sure.

Was sunny, now cloudy (just making booby traps outside my door, hope the rain holds off a while). Light wind from South-ish.

Damp, windy - sun coming.

Yes.

Looks like it's a toss up between kellyf's rainbow and tornadomanuk's river road - really don't know what to say.

I was at a fashion show last night and took this - seeing as TWS is in it, thought I'd stick it in - you never know.

Low cloud coming from South-ish, bit of a breeze, dry at the moment.

Squally, April showers.

Must have been mistaken earlier. Warm, sunny, bit breezy.

Dave reckons it's his picture?! Slap a copyright on it quick!

Can barely stand in this wind, annemometer off the scale, barometer needle practically spinning anti-clockwise, visibility nothing, don't know how much longer I can h

My concern for the garden over the Winter months is the rain. I'm almost exclusively into food crops - at the moment in a 15' x 20' raised garden reclaimed from lawn a year ago. (I'm live in a victorian terrace house - rented) My concern over the Winter period is the heavy leaching from rain on bare soil - ie washing out a lot of 'goodness' effort put into it over the summer. I tried mustard last year, which is generally recomended, and also alfalfa (both of which I got from a wholefood shop). Well, the mustard flowered very early (it was probably rape), far too early to dig in. I left it over the Winter. Not very impressive come the spring. However the alfalfa had died over the Winter (as might expect), but the work it had done on the soil structure was very impressive. Alfalfa is supposed to be excellent at bringing up nutrient from very deep roots. I've heard similar for red clover. I'm planning to sow with red clover this year. This operation makes a lot of sense I think. Where can I get red clover seed?

Dry, cloudy.

Sunny, windy. About 12mm from yesterday evening and this morning.

Showery, blustery night. Missed out on a lot of rain.

Apparently 8inchs of snow in NY urea. Wet snow, brought down branches, and lines.

No wasn't expecting to see that!

Not sure. (I just had to look)!

Yep lots in the south too. http://www.met.ie/recentweather/yesterday.asp Sorry technicaly off topic!
