For amusement.. I just let our 9 month old kitten out in the back garden… so funny watching him jump up to catch the flakes and chase them round… he seems very happy but a bit confused when the flakes disappear on the ground - hours of fun - wish i was a cat - wish i had a video camera (-: -

What weird weather.. the sun has come out and it's snowing. 20p flakes and there's shadows on the ground Could be our final snow before a potential breakdown next week... Then again maybe it'll be a snowy breakdown as the warm air from the atlantic hits the cold thats been over us and to our east for sooo long??? No idea really but certainly need some warmth soon... the heating bill is going to be mammoth. -

(-; yes.. when will it change - Cold and dry for the foreseeable but if the atlantic weather gets here will we have a gradual warm up or a 'show down' of warm hitting cold producing winters last blast? The nice thing about this recent snowy cold spell is that the snow (if you had any) has slowly disappeared and not turned to slush over many days. A lovely crisp morning today with the suns light warming the spirits for sure. I'm hoping for one last dramatic blast in April then a sudden warm up into proper spring/summer... but hey I'm a dreamer (-:- 810 replies

yes interesting watching those showers come and go on the radar. Had a few light snow showers since silly o'clock this morning making a total 10cm so far ! Our chickens water was totally frozen - so warm water with mealworms treat for them at 6am this morning (-: Temps holding all morning @ -1c and dew point steady @ -2.4c Some of the showers developing out to the East make it in land, some don't and fade away, some come in pulses seemingly out of no-where. The last 6 hours+ on these web links - speed up the animations (-: http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-app/radar?CONT=ukuk&CREG=ukuk<YP=6std&LANG=en&STRUCTUR=_&W=0&L=0&SLP=0&ROAD=0&CITY=&LOOP=1 http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-app/satellite?CONT=ukuk&CREG=im01&LOOP=6&LANG=en&STRUCTUR=_ Wasn't expecting anything significant out of the sky today but welcome a surprise or 2,,, brrrrrr out there - can't see this stuff round here melting in a hurry.- 833 replies

going in chat involves leaving a nice warm room to freezyly push buttons on a keyboard (-: Open fire is nice... but it's not where the PC is .. yet! Snow stopped here for now... (despite what the radar says) might check in here later with gloves on - as forecast (muffled cough) said settling snow may appear again later tonight - hope so Red Wine is a good idea... 'mulled' tonight definately- 938 replies

liking that very much at the mo' (-: temps etc dropping here: @ 5.40pm = +3.5c, dp+0.7c @7.10pm = +3.0c, dp-0.7c (negative dp !) cloud cover and wind picking up. Really not sure what to make of the sat and radar. Will the slowly approaching front raise the temps as it has done further south or as night progresses will the wet stuff get icy? http://www.sat24.com/en/gb?ir=true & for a bit of hope for some, similar to post above: http://www.meteorada...uk/forecastloop not rated by many as v-accurate but it is interesting to see just one of the many projections. The output from the models and faxes later will no doubt be very interesting. BUT the radar and warnings from the met o will be our friends this weekend as things will rapidly change as t=zero approaches. IMBY nightmare Personally I wouldn't want to venture north of Luton this weekend. Rather stay here safe and enjoy what might happen Remarkable synoptics for the end of March !! & from earlier thread… best get prepared: http://forum.netweat...20#entry2651845 WARNING contains tupperware! and a small bird for scale & cuteness- 938 replies

to relieve the fatigue try this in preparation for summer's daiquiris Place tupperware outside. 8cm deep should do it apparently (cough) When full with the cold white stuff pop lid on, put in freezer. Arrange BarBQ on NW forecasted hottest day of year and pour said alcohol into tupperware to serve via v-large glasses.- 846 replies
