  1. Relative Humidity dropped below 30% here a short while ago which is super impressive.
  2. A really nice day today and I'm feeling summery for some reason! Need to remind myself it's February still.
  3. Yep I was looking at the Benson station close to here, which is a real cold spot, but very strange because High Wycombe not so far away was 3 degrees. Should have mentioned it was Benson I was looking at sorry!
  4. It's about 6 degrees colder than the BBC are forecasting for T+0 hours right now! Feels like we're back in the recent cold spell with temps down to -3 but should pick up again to above freezing. Was a really nice day today too didn't need a coat and the sun felt warm-......ish.... ! Daniel is that one lightning strike?! It's a great picture
  5. Started snowing here much earlier than expected. Very light flakes now need some of the heavier stuff on the radar to get down here quick! Very pleased that it's come so much earlier than expected whilst I'm still awake.
  6. What a terrific moon halo in Reading this evening! Best I've ever seen and great to look at! Unfortunately it's hard to capture with any normal camera. I believe it's something to do with the moon's light refracting off ice crystals, creating the halo, where the sky within is actually darker than the rest of the sky. It is also suggestive of precipitation in the next few hours which as the radar shows will be snow! Unfortunately the blob in the radar right now will begin to fizzle out and become much more showery in nature so max 1 or 2 cm here. But any snow falling won't have trouble settling after a freezing cold day. Just a shame the snowfall has to be at 3 in the morning again!
  7. As is say when it's forecast it's less likely to happen than when it isn't! Wouldn't bet against some snowfall during the night though.
  8. Credit to BBC for once their forecast has been consistent. Haven't noticed a change all day with light snow forecast from 2 till 5 am in the morning so once again might wake up to a centimetre or two and temperatures look to be perfect as well. But if history is anything to go by the fact they're forecasting it is probably a bad sign!
  9. Surprised to see it still snowing in many places in the south east. The snow on the ground and surfaces is melting here quite fast now with rainfall. Temperature 2 degrees. Anyone seeing snow right now with the same temperature? Just had a look at the radar and it seems the more wintry precipitation is further east around the London area where here in Reading we had our fix at 3am and now have to stick with rain!
  10. Had heavy snow for a bit in Reading last nigh and got a few centimeters. But just a centimeter left now as I woke up and it's started sleeting.
  11. wow been out since 4:30 only missed 40 pages.... Expecting a bit more snow early tomorrow morning but temps don't look to be falling away below 1 degree so I don't expect to wake up to anything. Saturday morning and Sunday morning also not without interest but again it doesn't look like amounting to more than a snow shower or two. Interest is in Tuesday morning which is now within the 5 day range, maybe something more sizable then!
  12. anyone else seeing some brilliant mammatus cloud after the thundersnow hail event. Looks terrific
  13. Just a shame it was so shortlived! But better than nothing and good to see a snowflake for the first time since March 2013.
  14. Just chucked it down with hail before heavy snow, and now it's just a flurry, but wow that exciting we have a cm or two already on some surfaces and it was just 5 minutes. Everyone from the met department here's gone bonkers.
  15. Reading is waiting! .... had a light rain shower earlier, then a brief glimpse of the sun again, now it's once again clouded over and looking imminent. Hoping to see a snowflake a bit later on.
