Hi, This doesnt quite fit in with the topic but does anyone have any predictions for summer 2009? I am trying to set a date to get married, when do you predict the nicest weather - either late May, start of August or end of August? Thanks
What ever the weather on your special day... you'll have a great time. Some of the best weddings I've photographed have been in the rain, and some of the worst were where everyone can't wait to take off suit jackets and hefty dresses to cool down. Tis difficult to predict the weather so far ahead... could be a heatwave or freak hailstorm.... Pick a day and enjoy what ever nature throws at you. (-:

V heavy rain here not even a hint of sleet! Gutted as it was snowing at 7pm and since 8 its just rained! Anywhere south and East of here can forget it IMO
Don't give up hope yet...

let the page load (v-slow) and watch the way the low is drawing from the N (ish) as it moves W to East.. There's a good prob that as temps fall, the rain, sleety slushy stuff will turn to snow and get v-crusty by morning...
Must fly.. got to feed the Lama's

im at 2c and rising, have you got the freezer door open :lol:
My food is outside - tis cheaper that way in Welwyn. Presently I'm warming by the light of a lampost
It is going to snow in the early hours in S-Herts, I suggest you get your sledge waxed up.
-
Has my thermometer broke?
I kid you not, it says 10.1 Degrees Now!!
1.01 and falling here... best take yours outside
-
Just changed to snow. Big old flakes. Big snow... love it...
we have small rain here but tiny sleet mixed in

Looks like the low in the south (nr Guernsey) paused a while... took a breath and has moved NE again picking up some on the way.... maybe more of the white stuff to come for those SW of London ?
Been snowing and sleeting on and off here all day in Welwyn... intensifying snow, with breeze from the east as i type

Someone posted this link earlier...it is just beautiful:

takes around the same time to load as a pint of guiness to pour but it's worth it (-:

Snowing hard here on the Hampshire/Berks border near Tadley
Been snowing for an hour now - about an inch on the ground
There must be something wrong with my lampost
You have it in Stevenage and we missed it here... Radar looks good though hope it doesn't turn to rain. -
Seems to happen at crucial times. Perhaps government conspiracy.
:unsure:
Dr Drax at it again !
Pressure991,(falling) -1c, 89% Hygro and nothing round the lampost - yet - cmon' radar - hits monitor with large ruler!
-
no snow falling and starting to thaw i think thats it for me
Thawing in Kimpton??? That's a tad bad luck... I'm in Welwyn Herts and it's chucking down with propper snow, has been for the last couple of hours. 8inches plus. Maybe you'll get some more soon, just before the big freeze sets in tonight

2.6mm of precipitation around mid-day monday in Luton according to this:

Is that all at once, or per hour? :lol:

I just love your diary post.. Thank you.
ahhhh... childhood memories... brings back happy memories of simple fun in the good ol' days... caretakers strike, railway strike, snow that lasted seemingly for ever and enthusiastic efforts to reconstruct snowmen - happy days...
Nowadays we get SkyNews and ITV telling us the world is going to end - with schools closing down cos the teachers can't get to work, caretakers can't mend the boiler cos of health and safety and the Wet Office warnings of 5.08cm of snow - maybe!
Bring on a 1979 event - Cut the lectric, light a candle and enjoy cosying up with friends (-: sure would sort the wheat from the chav
Just makes me think how fortunate, despite the daily mail, we are today (-;

Time to wake up from summer hibernation... it's been snowing here near Luton for over an hour - light dusting on the cars
-
great photos Pete, unfortunately i cannot name the cloud formation, but its a great shot anyway
i think it may be a broken up mammatus, but am happy to be corrected
Cheers Mick.. Mammatus rings a bell B) 'Spayne' has some good ones too. Maybe NW could launch a "what can we see in the clouds?" thread - ahhh reminds me of my childhood
-
Seems a tad quiet on the monthly photo submission... I've done a search to find the correct place to put photos but alas it all seems a bit confusing to me
Mods delete or move as appropriate please...
here's a few snaps I took on the 12th August in Sunny Bedfordshire!
'Easy-Jet' just after take-off from Luton airport and then the downpour on our path 20 mins later. Would love to know the name of the wierd clouds..
-
We are changing the format of the competition to a quarterly one, with general themes within them and will be announcing that soon. We may also introduce other competitions around it, but there are no firm plans for anything on that front at this stage. The idea of the quarterly comps will be to give people more opportunity to go out and take photos specifically for the competitions, or to go through collections for relevant shots, rather than them having to be taken within a certain month etc.
The June and July comps will be merged together, then alongside the august competition will form the first quarterly competition, which can then be voted on during september. The winners of that, plus the other monthly winners this year and at the end of last year will go forward into the calendar.
bump bump (-:
Tried to find out if there was a place to put some weather pics up here and this is all I can find to show a few snaps I took yesterday - 12th Aug.
Can't remember the name of the cloud formation but was sure it meant some heavy rain was imminent.. Armed with psychic camera I took a shot of Easy-Jet taking off just under scary clouds. Sure enought the heavens opened 20 mins later so I lay on the floor just inside the entrance of our home and took some shots of the rain hitting the driveway. Alas no lightning )-: yet (-:
Enjoy

its times like this i wish i had the radar but hubby wont let me pay for it grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
not as good as the NW one but here you go...
-
Surface temps don't appear to be low enough right now for those in the north, precip may turn to snow on the back edge of the precip as the temps drop away as the colder air comes in behind the trough. Some elevation will help as well.
just thinking the same....
where we are is around 170 asl and had a heavy sleet shower around an hour ago... if only that lump of cloud was here...! haven't made a snowball in ages - let alone a snowman (-;
back to the lamp-post I guess - tis going to be a long night 'daaan saaaouff'

yes it is a suprise and i just have the feeling amongst some on the boards that this maybe just the start of a very interesting winter.

LO
I love surprises - just been up the road for some ciggies - (in my excitement I forgot to buy em )-; but here's some shots off my mobille to prove snow came to Luton!
Still snowing and settling.. 9pm - 162m ASL
Looks like I'll be lurking round the lampost till there's enough for a snow man (-:
-
We have 1cm of settled snow here in Luton, however it is easing up now. No coverage on the roads just cold surfaces like parked cars and my garden furniture ect ect!!
soooooo good to see the white stuff back and its only November Top stuff
LO
what a nice surprize to see snow settling... We live in a little close, so the roads have a covering too - it feels very Christmasy... off to take some photos (-:
