Snowkissed

Still snowing here

I noticed that the Met office has dropped our amber warnings too for tomorrow and Friday, although we are still under the main national amber warning!

Umm lots of Mares Tails in the sky over here.... is this a sign of some wetness possible stormy weather coming soon?

Just had a good crack of lightning and rumbling thunder here! Wasn't expecting that

I thought I was beginning to see some rotation in those clouds Mapantz! However, just scuds developed

We had a few downpours of rain, hail, sleet and something in between today. However, one particular hail/graupel shower which was very heavy the hail was a perfect cone shaped with a flat bottom. Is this a type of hail or does any one know if this is a common occurrence? Just found this which answers it! https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Popular_Science_Monthly/Volume_10/March_1877/Formation_of_Raindrops_and_Hailstones

Thank you so much Mapantz

What is the lowest pressure you have known in this area Mapantz?

RAIN I know... always meant to be!

Thanks Mapantz, your weather site is awesome!

The most beautiful morning here in the Purbeck. The mist is lingering over the river and fields revealing the most delicate of spider lace designs. The sun is rising into a clear blue sky and it still has a kick in it's rays. There is a gentle warm wind floating in from the coast carrying the smell of cooked breakfasts. Gorgeous Autumnal morning

Heavy rain and hail mix. Humid, very dark laden skies.

I share your disappointment Dorsetbred! However, at about 10pm last night I was standing on a high point between Worth Matravers and Corfe Castle and while I could see the lightning out over the channel, I realised that the wind direction had changed and was taking the clouds more East than about an hour before. So I wasn't surprised when we got diddly squat last night

Heard two rumbles of thunder here in the last ten mins.

Yep! I was just thinking the same thing. Are they going to stay with us Mapantz?

Cant believe the amount of snow which has fallen here ... a good inch at least! Snow melting at a fast rate now. I can hear that the trains are running! What a beautiful surprise!

Just been caught in a Graupel shower and now it is lightly (very lightly) SNOWING!

Lightning and thunder! Right now.

I know where you are Mapantz! I wondered if you would turn up last night... I was a bit shy to go up to someone and say ... 'excuse me but have you seen Mapantz?' Looking forward to 3am when we have a little chance of some soft white stuff!

It was glorious blue sky and sunshine in Wareham this morning. We decided to walk to Houns -Tout, just out side of Kingston. At about one o'clock the clouds quickly darkened and within minutes we saw what appeared to be a funnel cloud forming travelling along the coast line towards Kimmeridge. We were too far back to see any twisting motion but the cloud split into two and dropped quickly. The funnel never hit the sea but remained in limbo forming the same funnel clouds for at least 20 mins. During this time there was cloud to cloud lightning and a forceful hailstorm. Never had so much weather FUN!! What puzzled me was that before and during the storm there was absolutely no wind at ground level. Cant show you the photos of the the funnel cloud as they have come out blurry.

Frost and fog this morning. The sunrise brought some wonderful countryside scenes.

Thunder here in Swanage at the moment. Bone dry though.

A very high squally wind with heavy rain here a minute ago. It went as very dark, but no L and T as yet.

The lightning caused a mini blackout here. The street lights went out for ten mins and our router went down all back to normal for now.

Great shots there Karlos 1983! I thought Poole Harbour would be a sight to see. Lots more flooding by Candford School, Wimborne the River Allen at Julians Bridge will probably be a good photo opportunity too, as will Eye Bridge near Pamphill, although getting to that may be a problem.
