[JennyJane1]

[john pike]

thursday

 

 

low a bit close here but will hold fire on this for now

[tadpole]

heres the fax for 6pm tomorrow

 

gusty south west winds

 

and heavy rain very close

 

yuk

 

that trough behind could cause some pretty wild weather overnight

 

Is that gusty wind speed enough to lift the flashing on the roof for a 3rd time in a week JP?

Southernman just called, he's broken down.If you're near the Gorleston roundabout layby, give him a wave!Clutch has gone he said, but I wonder if its water related.

Hope he returns OK (sure he will)

 

Took a stroll to the next village to see my folks and nan who is off home tomorrow (and she fell asleep on the sofa, finally woke up and said she was off to bed, so that was a long chat and all had LOL ), have to say it does feel a tad cooler out there this evening, not raining and stars are out thanks to the finally clear skies.

It's a tabloid, full of t1t5 and little else.

hi tadpole

 

i reckon gusty

 

around 40-50 mph

 

however when troughs come through it could increase the gusts for a short time

 

hard call that one i am afraid

[Jason T]

wow did not think i could upgrade from snow at the front door, This one is amazing. Also a cheeky comment about UK.

Blocking will commence mid January. Models will be up and down for now.

Hi Nick F,

 

Regarding icy roads, Croydon Council have deployed a fleet of gritters to treat A & B routes. I'm sure other boroughs are following suite

Having just driven from tunbridge wells to Brighton, the road was being gritted, Crowborough, Uckfield & Lewes

[Cyclonic]

It appears that newspapers have been doing too much of this

 

And not enough of this

 

I shall officially never read a paper again, and go by what ever mother nature throws at me when it in real life happens

 

Well it has been rain free for a good few hours, however the radar indicates some more rain shortly, and Sunday/Monday has more rain on the cards too, let's hope mother nature is starting to dry out and give us some coldie days.

[john pike]

ecm ensembles

 

 

ecm certainly a cold run

 

but 12th on one of the colder runs ( the op)

 

spread on the 11th so hard to call after

 

gfs certainly on its way down as well

 

wind

 

windy days coming up

 

9th is tricky as ecm says windy but mean and gfs say no

 

rain

 

 

after the 9th it looks dry

 

wet to the 9th though

 

finally these are looking better

The thing is we all think we want this, and yes i'd love to see this, but i've heard of the weight of snow like this bringing a roof down so it can be very dangerous.

Think in '78-'79 when I was a lad the drifts that winter up the back of the house looked like that from the inside.

This tabloid are correct with this next storm system named Christina. Exposed areas will be in line with 100 mph + wind gusts

Still feel I'm right about general content ;-)

Hi JJ1, I'm not to sure about we want this, It would cause a few problems. As for seeing it, The image i posted will do for us. I was genuinely just showing epic weather events. snow can be very dangerous.

 

Take Care.

I know they closed the barrier again today but I believe it was due to open again around 17:00 gmt.

[Mal_UK]

Thames barrier picture seems to be true:
