haha! thats funny you said "snail", as I always say "snain" when its rain+snow mix, havent used that term on here for fear of people being like

Did you end up getting any of it?? it was only gor about 10 minutes, but mega wind and snow. More clouds on horizon now

OMG!!! MEGA WIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SNOW LOADS NOW!!!!!

WOO-HOO!!! snow shower in Nottingham!! quite a stiff breeze to- horizontal snow. VERY DARK out. Snow is about 90% snow and a wee-bit of sleetyness. But close enough!

clouds rollin in from NE, radar has nice juicy blob for Notts! COME ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol!!!

Hi Everyone! Had a few sleety/snowy/rainy/mist-come fog showers this morning here in good ol' Notts. A few flurries about here and there but no snow showers yet (like proper snow, not mix) but fingers crossed! Does anyone agree that the latest 06z has crapped out for Monday's snow?

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the 12z run BLOWS. what happened here???????? I KNEW we would get squat, minus the odd flurry. This is so annoying! I always promise myself to not get my hopes up, but I cant help it after staring at the potential weather prospects for about 10 days straight EVERY day like some kind of 6year old who never saw snow before. Now I am dissappointed AGAIN as somewhere else rakes in the snow. I'm moving Finland......

I totally agree with you- same for Nottingham, I reckon we might get a few flurries blowing in the wind, but about 10 miles east of us will get snow. I'd bet on it!

*** I just read your slogan thingy at the bottom of your quotes, "+sigh+ Patiently waiting for the Gulf Stream to shut down" hahahaha!! That's so how I feel too!!!!! lol!! ***

+sigh+ gloomy in Notts and misting out. Downgrade from yesterday for snow too I think.. Due to get some flurries, but no more moderate snow fall, and only sporadic flurries at best. At least its not forecast to rain though. I always tell myself not to get excited about these weather events as I know darn well that they always end up being like 17 flakes, 20 minutes of mist, and then fog for the rest of the period. I agree too that the temps seem to be rising!

oh right!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Yes- you're totally right about the insane rain at about 6--8pm last night. Thats WAS mental!! lol!!!! deffo will explain why I was all when you going on about the wind! lol!!!

hahahaha!!! I know right- Land of no Weather- we have gotten some heavy bursts that do mini floods on the roads, but those bursts seem to only last like 15 minutes... Maybe the Notts sheild is more like a Sherwood Sheild hahaha!!

hey I heard that as well hahaha! but then it stopped and I went to walk the dog at 9am and honostly, NOTHING wind-wise. Blue-ass skies and just a gently meadow breeze of about 10mph! I live in Sherwood, so not that far! Gettin cloudy to my west though, so maybe some squally conditions to come? But I really expected more from this other than the 6am rain-slamming-against-window-event.

yeah me too! I knew we weren't going to get any type of "southern" event, but I expect winds to gust to 40mph or so, but its just like any other day really. One wouldn't think that parts of the UK are getting hammered with winds and rain at this moment in time.

ooo- yay!! you are west of me, so maybe we will get some wind here! eerily calm here...

Hi everyone!! well its been crystal clear skies all morning here in good ol' Notts (smell that sarcasm) and we have had wind gusts of about 10 m.p.h! lol!!! Its j-u-s-t starting to cloud over now though, and I t-h-i-n-k the wind is starting to pick up, but frankly, I thought we were suppossed to get a hell of a lot more than this!!! At first I thought I might have slept through it, but at 9am, I went for a walk and there was no broken twigs or bins knocked over or owt- so I reckon Nottingham has its storm sheild up again... +sigh+...

funny you should mention that- as I use Raintoday's radar, and they are stuck at 10am! I also read that met office's radar is down too Gone quite gusty and dark! feels as though I'm gonna see a flash of lightning any moment for some reason!

pretty persistant rain here in Notts since about 9am. Getting heavier as well. Yesterday we weren't forcast to get anything but some showers, but the radar is looking like we might get the bulk of this initial mass coming northeast. Deffo yucky weather out there, makes me super chuffed to be working from home

some black clouds on the horizon! Radar shows an impressive squall line

Ahhhhh. that's better lol!! Yeah, its weird- how do you calculate an actual storm? I have had 2 days of thunder which consisted of 1 rumble in April, and quite a few rumbles on some other random day in June, and then 2 short lived storms this year. I was about to pack my bags and move south for a minute!!! lol!!!!!

lol! I am watching the www.raintoday.co.uk radar, and you are so right- you deffo have a sheild up today. I feel for you, this ALWAYS happens to me in Notts. Hopefully your sheild will fall down in a bit, as there is constant precip building to your west and travelling east. OMG! You've had 8 thunderstorms this year?!!!! I hate you!! lol!!!!!

you look as if you should get hammered any minute now according to the radar! Cross your fingers.

:wub: ..... B) ..... ..... :o ..... ..... :o ..... :o ..... is my response to your storms. Bring out the vodka!!! Time to drown in sorrow!!! lol!!!!

:wub: I know right!!! Looking at the photos of the triple tornadoes over Scotland and reading about South_Hollands tornado experience (as to which I am truly chuffed for BTW!) just tipped me over the edge into an unbearable frenzy of stormasitis!!! I think I'm going to turn inside out if I don't get at least some torrential rain.... Looks like we might get something from the north, but I reckon only rain, unless someone from S.Yorks or Manchester area can say if they are getting storms? Looks like Leicester is the victor of my spoils stormwise.. I was so close!!! C'est la vie.... stupid Notts sheild is back online

OK- I'm starting to get some serious storm withdrawl now!!! NEED MORE!!! I'm an addict y'know!!!
