Thunder and Lightning in Kendal at the moment. Happened last night at about 10pm too.

No thunder here but it is hammering down.

And the start of December 08 was on the cold side as well.

I do remember it being a bit nippy as i had just moved to salford but i did'nt really get back into winter weather watching until feb 09 so the fact that i got no snow, coupled with being in a newly built warm block meant it went unoticed by me really.

The majority of the time trains cope fine with snow.

The far bigger problem for them is any sub-zero temperatures which can freeze signals or even train parts themselves.

Many thanks! TBH today's runs suggest any deep cold or snow should be arriving a little later now.

I've just posted up int he storm reports thread about a possible ball lightning incident last night around Grizedale forest.

My dad witnessed the very bright flash and tremendous boom, and a number of the locals witnessed it, and some reported seeing it like a ball shoot across the sky.

Anyone else see/hear of this?

Genuinely can't see Thornaby on Tees getting a single snowflake from this upcoming cold spell heading our way next week

However I can certainly see Alta getting his 'inches' and 'millimetres' mixed up as he often does when he drops his trousers

Can see Newcastle getting sleet and refusing to turn to snow while down in good old Thornaby we have a blizzard with a ft of snow laying would that even be possible?! :')

Brrrr..... A bit chilly here this morning, 1.5c as I type, I think it's time to set the heating to come on just that bit earlier.

[Weather-history]

[Aaron]

Fell to -1.5C this morning, white landscape.. very scenic.

Anyway, GFS is showing snow for the southern part of our region next week..

Stayed just above freezing all night but this morning some patchy fog is wafting about and when it arrived we dropped to -0.8C

According to the Met Office warnings we have a yellow warning but only for rain not wind it differs from net weather warnings

It is, taken around 7am, was perfect for inversions this morning. I love winter landscape photography in the early morning/evening.

[JP1972]

That truly is a fantastic picture Polar Maritime.

I hope this winter brings you (and us if you'll kindly share) many more superb shots.
