The No Storms Club 2011/2012

[Lauren]

I think we should all club together and buy jane a storm for xmas.

[Liam J]

I've had more thunder and lightening during this Autumn/Winter than the last few years put together!

The most dramatic was the passing of the cold front which crossed in the early hours of Decemeber the 1st which brought very heavy hail stones, severe gales and stunning electric blue lightening, I would like some more please!

[Jane Louise]

Unlucky Jane,I finally got something yesterday,although it wasn't a proper thunderstorm which I'm still waiting for we had thunder n lightning mixed in with the hailstorms we had,I first heard thunder around 9.00 as there was a almighty crash of it made me jump lol then the hail came,we had 3 hailstorms all with thunder mixed in,although we had something it wasn't full blown storms so still in the NSC,today could bring something better though I doubt it but you never know,good luck all.

I've had the hailstorms Raidan, but without the thunder I'm hoping today will bring something :lol:

On your way then Viking, :huh: if it felt like a storm then you're out!

[Liam J]

Which member has gone the longest without a storm then?

[Phil UK]

Our very own Jane Louise I think? Unless there is anyone else who has a different point of view. :w00t:

And well done, Viking. This NSC is primarily for Spring and Summer storm activity but we are versatile and with the title of the thread stating 2011, meaning 1st January to 31st December, and you've seen storm activity... We'll let you go. And don't come back too quick you hear! :-)

Phil.

[Jane Louise]

Has anyone had any thundersnow this winter? there's no need to ask if I have....

[Phil UK]

Well, another year is about to pass by. Thanks from myself and I'm sure I speak for Jane Louise also for all the gripes and moans from all remaining members of the NSC 2011 about the lack of storms, the near misses and what could have beens given the right set ups.

Hopefully though, we'll not see anyone in here in 2012. But a brief analysis of what was Spring/Summer 2011... North East in May/June/July 2011... Unusual and on occasion intense storm activity and since I can ever recall was far more active than the south which would be in a geographical sense be more favoured, but the English Channel and even the Kent clippers didn't exactly materialise, even though some very beefy cells which looked for certain to move north decayed. ( Perhaps except for 27th/28th June 2011 when severe storms broke out in the south east. A clue being 'Anyone for tennis?' or when a severe storm hit during a Wimbledon game live on BBC1.) Early August produced a few thundery showers and even an unexpected one for my locality on Sunday 7th August 2011. (Might still be in the convective thread around that time unless Paul and co have purged it!)

But with sunspot activity increasing, it seems that warmer days and more unstable atmospherics look rife for 2012 and moreover 2013, but that remains to be seen as such. So from the teaboy, now assistant manager owing to Jane promoting me last night on Facebook. (I'll still fetch the tea though!) I, and on behalf of my boss wish you all the best and lets break the record in 2012 with the LEAST amount of members ever.

Happy New Year.

Phil.
