  1. Weather appreciation post here… I’m on day 8 of covid and not really getting much better. I’m surprised how this is affecting me mentally. I feel quite down and I don’t usually get down about much. Anyway, got up this morning and stood in the kitchen gazing out the window at the rain… and then there was the closest lightning strike I have ever seen! It was just across the road, partly obscured by trees but there was the brightest white flash that started as a ball and just elongated and the sound of fizzing and crackling and of course accompanied by the loudest of bangs. If I wasn’t poorly I would’ve absolutely pooped myself but I just stood amazed at what I’d just seen! This immediately lifted me out of the covid cloud and made me feel myself again I haven’t so much as looked at the weather for the past week so it was a complete (and wonderful) surprise! Thank you weather gods!
  2. I think most people have no idea what’s coming. Everyone I’ve spoken to has been talking about their plans for Friday and I’ve said have you not seen the weather? and their reply is no… My daughter is out today at her friends and I’ve just had a text from the friends mum saying she would like to take the girls to blue water then drop my daughter back home tomorrow as they’ll be back late. I said no I need her back today. A lot of people have no idea anything is happening tomorrow.
  3. We had a real powerful storm in Faversham around 5ish this morning. Took me by complete surprise and is one I’ll remember just for the sheer power of it. The house shook with every rumble and it sounded like someone was kicking in the front door. The storms we usually get are a few flashes and rumbles but this was a little beast. It went on for around an hour so slow moving. Had a good bit of rain too. Back to feeling muggy now though.
  4. This mornings storm was a cracker here in Faversham. It didn’t look like much looking at blitzortung but the power of it was huge. We had shotgun thunder and the house shook with every rumble after that. It sounded like someone was kicking in the front door. We very rarely have storms like that. The last one I can remember with that kind of power was back in 2012 one lunch time. It’s usually a few flashes and rumbles but this thing was meaty. It certainly packed a punch! A village close by has lost its internet from multiple providers so I’m guessing their routers have fried. I was already up at 4am with one of the kids and just as I was getting weary and wishing I was asleep that little beast rolled in so it was all good
  5. Best snow we’ve had so far in Faversham! I thought it was all over lovely surprise!
  6. Just looked out the window and this evenings batch of is the best snow we’ve had so far (in terms of laying) here in Faversham! Road and paths got a covering... finally! It’s either been graupel like or blown away to god knows where. Temps are lower tonight so that’s got to be helping as well
  7. The amount of people out with sledges here is quite bizarre.. the grass is still mostly green
  8. Almost at that perfect stage.. starting to settle on the grass, snow moderate to heavy and horizontal in the wind... my fence is collecting it
  9. Update.....Rain to snow in the blink of an eye now I just watched it turn. Amazing! Sideways snow
  10. Dp Still just a touch too high in Fav, temp 2c dp 1.3c Still, it wasn’t meant to snow until around 3/4am and it’s only 7am. I’m not giving up yet. The wind is absolutely roaring out there while the rain lashes down so it’s nice and cosy indoors. Patiently waiting for that dp to drop then we might have some sideways snow ?
  11. Morning all, thanks for all the posts leading up to this potential snowy spell. It’s been great to follow! Here in Faversham we haven’t seen any snow for a very long time and I know many others haven’t either. It used to be unusual to have a year without any lying snow and now it’s become more the norm Here’s hoping all that have missed out for a long time get our turn for some of the white stuff ️ I checked the home and dry app this morning and it shows constant precip over this area from sat eve until Tuesday... imagine we would be buried! I’m starting to get that sicky feeling of excitement kid on Christmas springs to mind. I have everything crossed for us all in our region and look forward to the 1029487474839030 posts over the next couple of days
  12. Really sorry about your Dad @lassie23 it’s very painful to lose a parent my thoughts are with you. Take care of yourself
  13. We was right at the edge of the cell as it developed. Still haven’t seen any lightning but was treated to some lovely deep rumbles and a sprinkling of rain. And I mean a sprinkling Hopefully that’s not it and there’s more to come. Currently showing 28c here, feels much better than it has been. Blue sky about to take over again.
