    It's called Murphy's snow!

    I think the radar is at Ingham, just North of Lincoln and it looks like the range is about 100 miles or do, so probably 80 miles off the cost. Showers do seem to be pepping up and getting beefier, although the ones off Scotland look to be humdingers. I wonder if similar ones can develop and come ashore here in response to the slight change of wind direction?

    I'm glad people are getting something and just hope we can join them. The radar looks a bit funny, I don't think it extends out into the North Sea very well.

    You have to laugh though, what's the chance of this over 24 hours of precipitation, haha.

    I'd love to know the meteorological explanation for that!

    I'm watching these now. They're heading this way:

    For ONCE just make it! :wallbash:

    Hey Reef, for once they are pepping up as they approach (one has just turned yellow) and the wind is now slightly North of East so looking promising for the first decent snowfall here since 2010. Last blizzard I experienced was in 1982, don't think that will happen now but at least people are getting a flavour of some real severe weather eh?

  4. Looks to be filling-in to the east in the North Sea now, due to the 'tail' of that system over Scotland extending southwards. This filling-in on the radar extends out to the edge of the coverage so it might be a long night.

    Nice to have an ice day too - been a few years since that happened.

    Don't think I'm going to work in the morning (again), however there is no escape as I have a PC....

    This is one of the best thunderstorms I ever witnessed. I had just come back from holiday, sweating and tired. I noticed that all my neighbors were standing outside, and were watching that incredible wall cloud roll in. On the other side of the sky it was completely blue. 15 mins later and large hail, frequent CGs, gusty winds and biblical rain was falling. It cleared away, and I made the mistake of going to sleep, as an even more intense line of thunderstorms developed later in the night and apparently persisted for a few hours. (The evidence is on Blitzortung.

    It's a shelf cloud or arcus. A wall cloud is a different phenomenon associated with a mesocyclone. This is an outflow feature pushing the warm air up ahead of it.

    Spectacular either way. I love them!

    Aah yes Acrefair. I have a lot of family in Leeds and castleford so have links with Yorkshire. I always thought up here was good for the storms sovwas hopeful, but my good old jinxing behaviour soon sorted that out lol

    Ha! Such is the way sometimes! Maybe we'll get something overnight but I'm off to bed now. Found it interesting everyone was saying how muggy it is - certainly not here eh? Oh well, hope you see sommet while your over here :wallbash:
