Reg Sealey Great to see! Liking the lamppost special effects to boot! Happy days Reg - we wait all winter scratching our nuts, and then when you least expect it...

Reg Sealey Unable to open the image Reg, but glad to hear all the same

Apologies, off topic, but what the ****??? Currently snowing heavily in various parts of Devon! See attached, I'm just 25m above sea level, 500m away from the water. Further updates on the South/SWest forum... 20240327_220454.mp4

Currently heavy wet snow here in Plymouth. It's settling on cars and roof-top's. I live just 500m from the waterfront, 25m above sea level. Has just been reported there's been 2 serious RTAs in the last half hour. No gritting. Completely caught out with this! 20240327_220454.mp4

Good riddance to storm Irene for not having the decency to pay us snow-starved southerners a visit.... Rude, just damn rude...

Looking at the Beeb earlier, their graphics indicated precipitation overnight tonight and in to tomorrow. Keeping everything crossed for you!

Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang NW and said she heard there was a snowstorm on the way... well, if you're watching, don't worry, there isn't!"

Fidget spinner if ever I saw one...

A bold comment given "you've just popped in"? Ive been lurking here for most of the day/night. I'm sorry you've felt let down, because in my opinion the majority of poster's on here have been top class. I personally have read some of the best model discussion in years today... Perhaps you were unfortunate in your timing when popping in to this thread?

Wowzers! It's suddenly hit home... Development's now in the reliable, and under way thick and fast!

Yes I remember that spell too! Here in (the usually balmy) Plymouth, max daytime temps never exceeded minus 3c for several days, and min night temps were minus 7/8. There were ice and icicles everywhere, and pipes frozen for days!

Living here in SW Devon we generally have to rely on the battleground scenarios. But wow what a reward when the cold air wins out! I remember the stress of watching the forecast time and time AGAIN in the 80's, when they would say "heavy rain turning to sleet and snow the further east it goes"... Would it, won't it... YESSS!! Narnia... Great memories, and it's been a long wait since... Maybe just maybe 2024 will conjure up some of that 80's euphoria...

The nearer we get to 15th Jan the more we are getting (nervously) excited that you are going to nail this @Scott Ingham... and If you do, I will be the first to ask that the Meto name any future severe wintry episodes as 'SIRO'. .. S. cott I. ngham's R. evelationary O. utrbreak

I like that D9 chart posted by @Ali1977 - yes it's a long way off, but what's not to like???...... and BTW I'm NOT foaming at the mouth... but thanks for your concern.
