Updraft

There's some rain showers showing up on the radar over East Kent right now but on the ground there's nothing, the sky went quite dark for a time though.

I didn't fancy the chances in Dover again, just a light sugar sprinkling that is already thawing in the sun on the hills Hopefully we get our chance tomorrow/friday...

The dusting we got in Dover has all but melted already. I hope we have a chance of proper snow still, not really fancying our chances just now. I know what a streamer can deliver like the few we had in the early 2010's so it is a little gutting that it missed us this time!

There was a massive thunderclap here in Dover earlier, it woke a lot of people up (evidently from bedroom lights going on). Some pretty heavy rain right now too.

Holy Moly, I'm in Dover and it's just constant flashes and booms.

We just got new, highly efficient windows so I am hoping we can avoid using it except for in the real cold snaps. Already noticing the warmth/draught difference compared to the 30yr old upvc we had before, it was falling apart!

The scene in Dover earlier, I recorded it also, it was moving at usain bolt velocity!

just had a big front line roll in here in Dover, pretty amazing site, it was very calm and then all of a sudden the wind whipped up and there's finally a nice breeze. Now it's very dark and there has been a few flashes and rumbles but nothing major yet.

Some signs of snow in Norway on the latest update!

my friend in Manchester NH posted this photo to my facebook... taken from her drive looking up the street. Man that's deep!!

Latest image for October 30th showing the full extent of the snow cover from the storm. A friend of mine in Manchester, NH says she has pics but cannot upload them yet because the power is out, she had to use an internet inverter (verizon thing) in her jeep/ (they use it on the road or camping for internet) to let us know.

EDIT: Apparently warnings to stay inside in NYC.

Taconic State Parkway US Route 6 Rye, NY

I've been watching the Times Square cam and there's been a couple of rumbles of thunder in the past 20 minutes. Awesome!

This is crazy even for New Yorkers. crazy weather in the US in recent days with snow even in the Texas panhandle.
