[Mrs Snow Lover]

Make up your mind Stephen, what's it doing on the Wirral? It can't be hail/sleet and rain altogether.

It's raining here, don't you think it's far too warm for sleet and hail? and Ive not heard any thunder and I am only a few miles from you. :?

[SP1986]

1. In particularly heavy falls sleet and hail can fall together when temperatures are 8°C

2. There was thunder - I was listening for it

[Mrs Snow Lover]

yes, I've seen sleet and hail together...but not rain aswell, no need to be so defensive, I wasn't having a go at you, just being a bit cheeky, you know, like you supposedly were when you sent me that snotty private message?

Anyway, it's coming down in torrents now...rain, nothing else here. Still no sign of thunder...wouldn't mind though, quite like a good thunderstorm

[Summer Lovin]

Hello Everyone

Although the weather is interesting to me I don't have special kit or things like that to give you professional details.

I can tell you that it's really windy, raining very hard and really quite chilly (so much so I have put the heating on).

[Mrs Snow Lover]

Yep, I've had to put our heating on too. I'm in Cheshire, whereabouts are you? :?:

[Summer Lovin]

I'm in Basingstoke - sorry had to go for a bit as my boss came round.

[Mrs Snow Lover]

Sun's out now in Cheshire & it's absolutely glorious at the moment. Think it's all about to change though as there are some very dark clouds looming. Can anyway tell me which direction to wind is blowing in and what the wind chill factor is as it feels quite warm until there is a gust of wind and then the wind feels really quite icy. Ta.

[SP1986]

The winds are from the SW - there is a few hefty showers coming your way possibly thundery and wintry

[Mrs Snow Lover]

Yes, I can see that you are right. It is looking really wintry and dark at the front of where I work. I have had the windows open to get some air in but I am going to have to close them now as in the past few minutes the temperature has really dropped and wind is icy. How come temperatures are able to drop so rapidly as opposed to a gentle decline? What causes such sudden changes? :?

[SP1986]

Well the cold front has passsed that is going to drag down cold air anyhow - I think the fact that the massive low is from a cold source and that the air is so unstable dragging down cold air from the upper atmosphere

[James H]

I'm very suprised the snow dusting is still here

[Mrs Snow Lover]

You wouldn't believe how dark is has gone, the cloud in the sky is literally black, and to be honest, looks quite menacing. Is it like that at your end?

[Robert H]

Is it a big black cumulonimbus cloud?

[SP1986]

MSL be prepared for thunder - I can see that cloud its very very black and go an overshooting top - possible tornadic although im right in thinking it is moving away though a might be wrong

[James H]

Its sunny here now although it was'nt this morning

[Mrs Snow Lover]

Cor, blooming hec Ste, you weren't wrong. No thunder as yet...but goodness me have the heavens opened. The wind is blowing a right gale too. Ever so bizarre though, whilst this really black cloud is above us at present, I can see glorious bright blue on one edge., I wish you could see it actually. Where I am sat, one half of my window shows awful black cloud and the other half shows blue sky. It has gone really really cold though. The weather never ceases to amaze me, it brings such changes so fast. To have gone from blue skies and sunshine to that in a matter of minutes is mad.

[James H]

Wow on there is a really black cloud on the horizon i think its comeing towards me its like yours MSL but it can't be the same one does anyone think that there could be a thunderstorm i hope so im getting alot of thunderstorms lately

[James H]

By i'll be back later

[SP1986]

MSL did you hear that thunder - did you just get tthunder - i just heard thunder

[feenunn]

No thunder here bud, sun just starting to break through again at the moment! :roll:
