Well I don't know about anything else but this weather is perfect for getting my sheets dry!

This time next week our sheets could get frozen.. Haha :-)

Any sign of Yamkin?

SHAAAAAAAAA.... Ting :-)

Well it was an interesting spell of weather and have to feel for those folk affected by the flooding down in the South West.

But some of the tv footage is annoying me. People dancing around on the banks of fast flowing swollen rivers like its all a big game, and the worst I have seen yet, a young family with kids who are probably no more than 4 or 5 years old literally INCHES from the torrent. One of the kids was even trying to lob in a branch bigger than themselves. What on earth are these parents thinking of, apart from themselves and getting on tv. Totally irresponsible.

Absolutely agree, footage of parents with kids in buggys trying to cross fast flowing flood water, seriously why you even out?

Agree, it's very foolish. Some of that flood water is fast moving and contains sewage.

[Steve C]

Absolutely Steve! But at this stage, it would be nice to have some Hors d'oeuvre before the main course

I've been looking at the GFS and ECM charts this morning and can't see anything to get really excited about in the SE at the moment... That being said, I do like crisp wintry sunshine.

However, the charts certainly don't look anything like becoming Atlantic based in the short / medium term and it seems more than feasible to me that December may deliver a major wintry outbreak later.

Latest bbc forecast has low in scandi thursday with high pressure strengthening in the atlantic bringing ever colder weather from north east and snow showrs extending down the north sea with kent included by friday! Pre-emptive for countryfile forecast.... I love it when we get our first cold weather of winter, if that includes snow then even better!

Sounds great. I'm recording country file as off out to walk the dog over the canals now.

Good sign they are showing snow for Kent already :-)

Afternoon all,

It's still quite blustery here this morning but I've been out walking and saw no evidence of much by way of wind damage from last nights big blow, just a few twigs and small branches down and virtually no leaves left on the trees, the main problem here is the flooding in the Ouzel valley.....

Without breaking the no swimming or boating Parks trust rules it was almost impossible to get very far in any direction with some paths being under a couple of feet of water, the level was rising incredibly quickly as well and one path that was passable on the way was under several inches of water on the way back !

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday folks

[Keraunic]

Blue sky, sun and just a bit blustery now in Norwich. It was good while it lasted. Roll on the next round.

[Snowangel-MK]

...... can't see anything to get really excited about in the SE at the moment... That being said, I do like crisp wintry sunshine.

Same here...totally agree about the snow as well but I'm ever hopeful we will get something worthy of excitement before winter is over

Nice profile picture by the way Steve, I thought I better change mine as well so we all know what we look like for 8/12

I don't disagree with that, but it's not one I saw earlier. I looked at GFS and ECM for up until the end of next weekend.

This chart certainly has more potential than what I saw. Thanks for posting.

[john pike]

i am trying myself to avoid reading gfs and ecm at present

too many varients each day

ukmo might be wrong as well

but the ukmo have stuck rigid with this pattern for a little while now

fingers crossed its right

Thanks Ali. It's the only photo of me I have, where I don't look cross.

TEITS suggesting the long-term outlook will NOT be going tits up.

To my mind, we all should heed his wise words.
