Raining in Chesterfield, according to one online weather station temps are 0.6c so it's fairly close to something "interesting" but suspect we will just get normal rain.
Just got home to Chesterfield roads very treacherous, about 1cm of snow, the only cabbie at Chesterfield Station said it fell within a few minutes just before I got back.
Just catching a train to work in Nottingham, first flake falling in Chesterfield (and I do mean flake) I was kind of hoping that we would have had enough of a dumping by now that rail would be disrupted already. Not that I don't want to go to work, it's just that I want to make sure I can get home again. Sleeping in my office does not sound appealing.
It actually looks like a fairly major storm North West of me, maybe Streatham way, flashes very couple of seconds I hear no thunder so can't work out how distant it is
The settled snow and ice is enough that people are struggling to get up the hill my families house is on, had to give one guy a push to get him turned round and going down hill
Got all the windows open in the flat, its fantastic, i'm actually cool, I had to roll down the sleeves on my long sleeve T-Shirt, I had forgotten what not being too hot is like!
Just started to rain in Streatham (SW16) think we had a rumble of thunder and a flash of lightning but frankly it could have just been a train shorting.
METO upgrade for Chesterfield again for heavy snow from 6PM. Ironically I have a fund raising event I have put a reasonable amount of work into tomorrow PM and would not want it cancelling, The batch of snow we had last time cancelled another fundraiser. I really can't decide if I am happy or sad about the upgrade again.
Snow ever so slightly heavier In Chesterfield town centre now, but nothing I can call anything but extremely light. I think the peaks are shielding us. To be honest I don't mind (which is unusual for me), I'm doing a fundraiser tomorrow morning and wouldn't want that to be spoiled by heavy snow.
Been snowing very lightly in Chesterfield all day. It only started to settle about 16:00 though. Interestingly I can see ice crystals in the air glistening in the street lights. I have never noticed this in the UK before but was treated to an excellent display of Ice Crystals suspended in the air in Germany a few years ago.
