[Dancerwithwings]

The way things are looking regarding the radar forget snowflakes tonight !!!!

Just Cornflakes and Frosties cometh the morning

 

Welcome back Blizzards

[Terminal Moraine]

No snow here overnight, in fact very little precipitation of any description. Today perhaps?

Currently it's chilly and overcast with a temperature of 0.8c.

[Polar Maritime]

Yes just damp here to TM, Temp 1.4c, Dp 0.4c, Wind Chill 1.2c East 6mph.

[Dancerwithwings]

Showers are starting to kick off now http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile and the odd lightning strike is showing up as well http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=lightning;sess=

[Polar Maritime]

Moderate sleet here, Temp 6.2, Dp 2.6c

[Adzyy]

Big clap of thunder just now and sleeting.

[Costa Del Fal]

Had an extremely close lightning bolt here in Falmouth about an hour ago. Think it struck about 20-50m away. Can I bring back the thunderstorms too tomorrow? :lol:

[Dale Hay]

Had about 10 flashes of lightning here... pretty much instant thunder too. Also the neighbours garden looks nice and Wintery.

[Summer of 95]

Heavy soft hail shower in Telford about 1400, left things white for a few minutes. Not heard any thunder yet

[Costa Del Fal]

Indeed, anything E of South usually works very well for the Midlands. However I cant really remember the last time storms were almost tracking pretty much directly from the East! Quite rare!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Wondering how high elevation members doing, had visions of a white out for Will, TM and PM, here has been sleet now for around an hour, even though temp is high at 3.2C

[Summer of 95]

Just cold rain, again. Shropshire really is an electrical storm desert, it's like there's a giant Faraday cage up in the air over us. It might turn to sleet if it gets heavier, but way too warm for settling snow.

Please do. With non-electrified soft hail/sleet and rain showers here today, I think we could definitely do with your help of adding more of a thundery feel for the Midlands. No low-quality thunderstorms are allowed to be brought up please - just the ultra high-quality ones. Thanks. ;-)

We just had the one bolt but my it was extremely powerful!!!

[BlueHedgehog074]

Just went outside with the back light on and there appears to be a few odd wet sleety snowflakes mixed in with the rain right now. Bit of a nice surprise.

[Dancerwithwings]

Quite so far today, But that may change in the next few hours with showers coming up from the south? Looking at the radar http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile It'll be more the south/southwest of our region that will feel the full impact of these afternoon potential rain/hail/thunderstorms.... I'm sure Bilzzards having a nice time of it down south,

Because thats where all the actions as been so far to day...kabooom

 

Some nice strikes just to the south of us atm http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=lightning;sess=

Just started raining here, looking very dark to the southeast.

[TonyH]

Dad reports thunder from Rugby

[Barbmac]

Passed over here without incident apart from a couple of minutes of heavy rain. In bright sunshine now.

[Dancerwithwings]

Yes!!! Nice bright echoes as triple_x1 mentioned straight up the M40 .....Come to Daddy.. Just may get my first thunder/lightning of the year,

 

Do ya think if might be a tad too much to get a Tornado thrown in the mix LOL!

[Polar Maritime]

Heavy Hail shower just, with Sleet mixed in. Temp 9c..

[Stormraider]

Not sure, but I think I just heard a rumble...

[Bishop Brennan]

Occasional rumbles of distant thunder here, and some heavy rain. None of the sparky stuff so far...........
