Will storm

Easter 2008 was a great surprise, I watched the snow start falling in the early hours then it continued until about 9 in the morning. In the end we had 10cm of lying snow but it was all gone by the afternoon with some localised flooding. http://www.netweather.tv/forum/index.php?showtopic=46774

Thanks guys !!!

Some great structures today with a lovely sunset to finish.

Thanks for the comment.

Very heavy snowfall here with main road through the village covered by an inch of snow. By the looks of things its not over for a while yet.

1 cm covering on untreated roads with a little more on the grass, alot more snow has fallen than I thought would. Still snowing heavily.

Woke up monday morning and was dissapointed with only light snow falling but by 6:30 already had a covering of 2-3inches. I've been to school everyday of this week . Monday a few people were off but Thursday was the day when nearly the whole school was empty. Thursday morning everyone was told to go to the refectory where we waited for the headmaster, he came and told us there would be no point in going home because all the roads are blocked. He was right, just after he finished a car skidded into the wall outside school. Snow fell heavily until they eventually had to close the school at 2 pm. Still, Everyone got a hot chocolate at break time, best schoolday ever, we did no work LOL. The cold spell has been great so far, but only reached a max of 4-5 inches of snow which was reduced to 2cm by the end of Friday. Friday did finish with a great sunset though. Hope you like the pics.

Never seen snow settle this rapidly before, in the space of 15mins we've had 2-4cm.

Only started snowing 10mins ago and already got an inch, I feel a day off school coming on whooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!.

very heavy snow still falling here with a good 4 inches

very heavy snow falling here now with 2cm of snow with ice underneath.

Very heavy snow showers now moving through with some very strong winds ,blizzard conditions at times. A heavy dusting which will soon start to accumulate into cm if the showers continue.

Yet another heavy snow shower starting here. If this keeps up we could have lots of snow by the morning in our regions.

Heavy snow just finished with a dusting, looks like another shower is on the way. Looks like it could get quite nasty in some parts tonight I'd be happy with just 5cm but hopefully a bit more.

Just had a heavy snow shower which has added to the dusting from this morning, nothing showing on radar over my area though :lol:

Just came up on the BGS site but its placed it next to Worcester city, a very long way from Bristol. I think they will move the epicentre because the Swindon station recorded a bigger spike than the station Michaelchurch which was closer to the epicentre. Its also downgraded it to 3.6. http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/

Just looked on the following site and it showed a quake of 3.8 mag. 23km NE of Bristol. Did anyone feel anything on here? http://www.emsc-csem.org/index.php?page=home The Swindon station picked it up well scroll down the list to find it. http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/helicorder/heli.html

Some great weather today. Started of with temps of 6-7 celsius which rose to 21celsius in the afternoon. Low mist in the morning and some great atmospheric optics during the day with a sun pillar to end. Also saw a great parhelic circle.

The KASATOCHI SO2 cloud is shown here http://www.eumetsat.int/Home/index.htm approaching britain.

I was up watching Tv on the 21st August early on about 4:37 and I saw my glass of water ripple for about 5 seconds along with my lamp shade swaying very slightley. I thought it was just me but I just went on the british geological survey website I saw that there had been a 1.5 magnitude earthquake 1/4 mile from my village. I also felt 2.8 magnitude earthquake on the 5th April. There have been many small aftershocks from the main quake on the 27th Feb but there was a lull in activity after April 8th with near nothing. Why in July and August has the activity picked up again? Are these separate events or are they still related to the main quake?

Look at some of these vids. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qeOSCjWwLj4 http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=gLT43J4E96w http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=b1ejKHNR9No&...feature=related http://www.tvn24.pl/-1,1561338.1,0,1,nawal...,wiadomosc.html

I was out today taking photos of a sun halo when I saw a large cat sat under a rock next to the small lake outside my village. I thought it was a domestic cat which was lost but when I went to see if it had a collar on it bit my hand and scratched my neck/face. It also gave out a growl like a tractor starting up. The cat then leaped up and ran into the bushes. I had an agonising 3/4 mile walk back to my house, where my dad put some cream on my hand and face. Then a wasp stung me on the same hand leaving in its sting giving me even more pain.Its hard to type now because my hand is so painfull and my finger is swollen. I've looked on the internet for pics of the large looking cat. It was sandy red/yellow with ears pointing up. I found a dead rodent, the same size of a rat lying dead from where it was sitting. The only cat I've found that looks remotely like the one I saw was on this site. http://www.ukbigcats.co.uk/species.asp?species=junglecat I just hope I never encounter one again but if I do I'll try and get a picture without getting too close.The picture is after the cream so the redness and swelling is alot less than when I was first bit.

The morning rainfall caused flooding near my house and it got to the point where it was starting to come under the door but a bit of kitchen roll and a hair dryer sorted it out. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TqcztJGWiko Had an evening lightning display over the Trent valley yesterday providing some great shots on video. Altogether my area saw 3 thunderstorms but the first two were pathetic with only 1 or2 flashes between them.
