  1. I don’t understand why everyone is commenting on charts 10-14 days out like they’re gospel? When would you normally look 10-14 days in the future and say what you’re seeing is going to happen? I’m not saying the non-snowy/cold evolution won’t happen, just that surely we are way off the timeframe in which anyone can be confident. Will keep watching this thread and the output with interest!
  2. Frosty in the car when I left the office at 4pm, not bad going. Shame it’s going to be warm again by morning
  3. Before the freezing rain, leaves: After the freezing rain, no leaves: I could hear them hitting the other leaves on the grass as they dropped off as everything was frozen solid.
  4. I saw both lanes of the M20 were shut because of accidents between Folkestone and Lympne just after the freezing rain fell, hopefully no one was injured.
  5. I love the weather, have been a member on this forum since the demise of the BBC weather forum (with its infamous SCOD poster and 11pm closing time) so for more years than I care to remember. But I still have a lot to learn - I *think* what Matt is saying here is that the trend is towards a blocked signal with a colder theme for end of month? Rather than making an idiot of myself in the mod thread from where this was quoted, I’m hoping one of my more learned SE members can help please?
  6. Current obs on my station and its falling as freezing rain, can hear it on the house and path outside. Can’t see a lot as only one small old fashioned streetlight a few meters away but the leaves left on the tree in the front garden are falling off readily as the accumulating ice weighs them down! Kind of wish it was light to see it happen but equally relieved it’s dead of night as it’ll be lethal at the moment.
  7. Coldest night of the year here now at -3.7c, second lowest was February 9th at -3.6c Last low before that was -4.5c on December 12th last year.
  8. Coldest since February here now, -2.4c Wonder how low it would have reached had the grim murk from the west not been approaching.
  9. If only we could have a weather surprise for once, the precip slipping under the cold, giving some heavy snow to wake up to in the morning.
  10. A very cold day, maximum just over freezing and already down to -0.3c. Looks like it’s been foggy all day up on the Downs. Very brisk on the seafront this morning, earned our warm drinks
  11. Saw a few flakes this morning briefly, not settling of course but more snow than I saw the whole of last winter in that one small shower! Currently -1.0c and watching that blob incoming from the NE
  12. Nice! I’m at work in London office next week and should be able to see it if I go up the top (Gherkin) Nothing here, just grey and coldish at 4c
  13. First snowflake icon of the season on MO 5 day forecast for me. Know it won’t happen but it’s early this year!
  14. Scared to post anything at the moment in case it jinxes the whole situation. Also limiting myself to short bursts of model thread as it’s a bit too like a seesaw in there for my liking
  15. Another unexpectedly rainy day, from the MO saying yesterday it’s be dry we ended up with 21.59mm! Locally quite a bit of surface water now whenever it rains. Came across a section of road I’d never seen flooded before but a small stream runs under the road there so I wonder if the drains are just oversaturated now.
  16. Didn’t have a single flake fall all of last winter, yet SA get snow in summer. In all seriousness, that is crazy weather!
  17. 44.5mm of rain here today and chucking it down again.
  18. Up to 43.99mm so far today - MO warning said up to 45mm at the most in their warning. Might just break 2 inches if it keeps it up for another 40 mins. Cool night last night though, down to 3.5c before the wind started up again
  19. Scores killed by powerful earthquake in Nepal | Nepal | The Guardian AMP.THEGUARDIAN.COM Shock in Jajarkot in Karnali province about 300 miles west of Kathmandu caused at least 54 deaths and destroyed houses
  20. IMG_8464.mov It has gotten worse since I took those 15 mins ago. All local buses now suspended in Folkestone and dover
  21. I see the end of the amber weather warning has been brought forward to midday and the area shrunk to Kent and Sussex
