  1. Oh my word, it’s amazing here in Warton, north warks. Non stop thunder and lightning, deafening cracks, power going off and on.
  2. I probably belong here. Love to watch for a super hot plume, in particular for the resulting storms, yet feel awful by the first afternoon into a really hot spell. For a comfy sleep, I rinse out either a glass tea towel for my forehead or a thin bath towel to drape over fully when it’s seriously uncomfortable - works a treat until you have to deal with next day’s temps while working. Far more of a snow lover for sure, although I don’t know whether I’ll be able to afford to cold-wish this coming winter.
  3. Not been a great one for us today but at least it’s missed us by a fair bit rather than a couple of miles. Glad Warwick & Stratford & Leicester have had some and that they stay on that line now to give them a decent dumping. Looking forward to some breakdown snow next week instead.
  4. Definitely better than the Beast from the East for us here in Polesworth. Managed to get about 5cm so have had a lovely long walk in it. It’s just starting again now so hopefully a nice top-up ready for a late night walk. It’s gorgeous out there.
  5. We seem to get a bit of snow just as the precip fizzles out, never enough to turn the ground or even the car white. Once I can take a walk and feel/hear that wonderful crunch of snow packing beneath my feet - that’s when I’ll know we’ve had a proper snowfall. Those are the best walks in life. Maybe tomorrow if that NMM is correct.
  6. Looks like cheshire gap there for you. Tomorrow might be the big surprise instead?
  7. Sleet here now, it’s coming. Just gotta turn before this heavy spell ends.
  8. Still rain bucketing down here nr Tamworth. Come on snow!
  9. Wow, this is a corker, wasn’t expecting it for another couple of hours. Am sat in the conservatory taking it all in.
  10. Wow, a Level 2 forecast for us. Hope tomorrow is a great day of storm tracking.
  11. Not a sausage here in Polesworthbut it’s so cold and windy and my boiler’s still knackered. It’s going to be a long day.
  12. Nottingham winning out tonight and lots more to come by the look of it. Hope we all join them tomorrow. My boiler’s just packed up too, what joy, gonna blowdry the condensate pipe, see if I can get it going again.
  13. Worth the little time it takes to load http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/templates/loop_directory.asp?data_folder=dev%2Flindsey%2Floops%2F25aug17_band2&image_width=640&image_height=480&loop_speed_ms=40
  14. From the album: First ever lightning shot

    Finally managed to get my first ever lightning shot - feeling very chuffed!

    First ever lightning shot

  16. Woah my God, that was fantastic - most of it's through here near Tamworth now. That was the best storm I've ever experienced, wow!
  17. The footage from the Bournemouth cam is amazing, they're getting one hell of a show there on the sea front, strikes are constant. I'd love to see a storm like that here.
  18. I've done the same - on the Mount Gay and totally spoiling it with coke. Going to stay up until 2am and then admit defeat if nothing by then :-)
  19. My dad always asks for strange birthday pressies - this year, he would like a battery powered thermometer for the car that has an audible ice alert. He can't have one with a charger as that's used up by the dashcam (last year's present). He drives a taxi so it'll be useful as he heads out of town to know when the temp has dropped below freezing. Has anyone else ever bought one of these or could you suggest one that's going to be reliable. Thank you. Jo
  20. Wowee, that's over a foot forecast - hope it materialises for you
  21. Had a 10 minute spell of snow here in Polesworth, North Warwickshire but now sleet and not sticking :-( Hope it really gets going later. Good luck everyone - hope someone in the midlands gets a snow day tomorrow.
  22. That was a corker, constant loud thunder for about half an hour. I'm in Dordon but up on a hill so had a perfect view for miles to the east (Atherstone/Hinckley direction). Haven't had a storm like this since I was a child - epic stuff!
  23. And another one - http://www.viewsurf.com/univers/trafic/vue/3242-france-haute-normandie-beuzeville-a13-peage-de-beuzeville-pres-de-la-bifurcation-vers-le-havre-vue-orientee-vers-le-havre Eastbourne looks like it may be the place to be for some cracking views.
