South East & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 25/11/13

[Coast]

Still an afterglow here, 3/4 hour after sunset - kicks himself again.

 

Did you want me to PM you my camera??

Go on then :winky:I could have taken photos with my tablet, but I'm not in a great location.

Typical downgrades as we get closer to the "northerly blast"

Are there toys scattered in the Model thread now then, or quiet resignation? I don't tend to trawl through the posts there.

Evening all

 

Eventfull first day back (can do without that kind of day anytime), ended up being an hour late finishing (which I hate as it is dark, traffic is heavy and the lights in the busy parts I find blinding).

 

So not seen much weather today, dark when I left and dark when I returned, no frost this morning which was a blessing.

 

Driving into town I was amazed just how many people have put up xmas lights already, did think there had been a major incident (blue flashing lights) till I realised it is just the blue/white led type lights every where I seemed to look.

LOL 2 days into 'Winter' and the straw clutching in the MAD thread followed by the subsequent ups and downs is just blinding.

[Ǝssex Ǝasterly]

I agree with you Jax, the Christmas lights seem to be up early this year, I seem to remember over the past few years that Xmas lights didn't seem to appear until around maybe the 5th or later. I went out last night and pretty much half my street is decorating their houses!

 

Nevertheless I'll be up on the roof tonight doing mine, my house now sticks out like a sore thumb 

[Chris101]

Hi all, in the SE/EA thread, hope your all well

Haven't said anything for quite a while now, but i'm always lingering in the background and reading whats going on in our lovely regional. 

Agreed Steve C, was a lovely sunset tonight but like you the camera had been taken in and left at home.

I must apologise for the downgrades in this weeks shot at some cold air and snow, i looked out the window at the weekend and saw my daughter had got the sledge out of the shed and was pulling her sister around the garden, the look of horror on my face was a picture. I won't be telling them in the Mod thread or i may see a few toys thrown in my direction, apparently it may have caused winter to be over after 2 days.

[Bogman]

Gave into pressure from the kids who said they'd put the decorations up, yesterday.

I agreed to shut them up, so they got the boxes down then cleared off into their bed rooms leaving me and the wife to do it all.

[Jax]

Dammit thought I had got away with just getting home and stopping in, but now need to go out again and pay a small bill and get the PAYG emergency phone topped up as I used it last week whilst my new phone was setup (newer mini sim so the old switch-a-rooney ploy could not be done this time).

[Lauren]

I know what is up with that? I swear in the old days people didn't put up decs until maybe two weeks into December. We always used to laugh at the 'weirdos' in our street who put them up in November but now every man and his dog is. Do people not just get bored of Christmas when they decorate so early?

hi all

 

while these are still up have a look at these

 

last nights fax for thursday 12

 

 

now heres the latest update

 

that low to our north east has exploded

 

also note the trough of the new fax between the 528 dam air and 510 dam air

 

if that trough comes down as shown we may see some snow from that

 

however these lows are very hard to tie down so expect changes

 

note this

 

fi is here and no point trying to predict any further

[Steve C]

I've no excitement about the end of the week tbh. I'm wondering whether that low is going to cause major storm issues to Denmark / Baltic States?

[WillinGlossop]

Danish met office say 70% chance of strong storm.....15% chance of winds of 30-40mps..... Thats 70-90mph.....

[Freezeflake]

Pretty much all of North America under deep cold...that's quite impressive

[john pike]

 

big spread on the 7th

 

thats fi

 

hi steve

 

that low is awkward as the thing could shift around quite a bit still

 

worth a watch for now

 

i am more interested inpicking troughs out of the fax charts when the cold air is here

 

probably will not last long but seeing a few snow showers would be nice

 

 

ecm looks like we could see something interesting mid month on but its all fi

 

and will chop around each run

 

heres 216

 

heres 240

 

 

so look east with these

 

again ecm showing no atlantic still

 

 

so at present it looks like interest for thurs-saturday

 

then same as now for about a week and certainly not warm

 

then model watch to see how the next batch from the east might occur

 

 

be back later with the fax charts

[Captain Shortwave]

Evening all

CFS time

Urgh

At least with the new year, new beginnings 

Precipitation - (-2) - mostly dry

Temperature - (-1) - Briefly mild around Christmas but colder either side, and turning much colder into new year.

[Flaked Queen]

My 3 yes 3 christmas trees are always put up early November lights and snowflakes everywhere !!

[Jax]

Well still not been back out yet (opps, was watching TV news and stuff) glanced out the window and seems OK for a quick wander to the shop, which is fine as apparently they are having an hour of eastenders tonight (save me from that drivel) and just done a new watercolour wash which I hope will be dry in the next half hour or so for the detail to start going on it.

[HammerJack]

Evening all. I've been glued to the MAD thread for the last few days. Just reading it has made me knackered haha. I can't wait for spring now. only kidding my fellow regionaires.

Hope all is well all. Glad the scan went okay today MK

Hey Steve C, we had an wonderful sunset here today, tried taking a picture on my iPhone but it done it no justice whatsoever.

[Jax]

BAck in from the local shop, sorted the phone and bill and the watercolour dried nicely in the mean time and already put on some detail now, just waiting for that to dry (all takes little bits in little stages)  Not too cool/cold out at the moment but quite still so expect fog and frost to form before the morning here.

[Ravendane]

Thought it was just me thinking people are putting up their Christmas decos very early this year...I wonder if it is a reaction to all these seemingly endless grey , dour days we've had since forever...cheering things up with sparklies and lights... Tempted to do ours early too.

 

  I am determined to keep off the model threads this year instead of  putting myself through the annual disappointment fest. What with the wretched Daily Fail and  Daily Excess forecasting snowmaggedon  and the forecasts for my area on Netweather and Met Office showing no precipitation at all.

[john pike]

im bored

 

heres a ramp
