  1. Has anyone got one of these? Temp and humidity seem fine but pressure is way off! It's been set up since 10:00am so it's had time to settle. There's no adjustment possible either...
  2. Hahaha! Went to bed thinking I'd be stuck in between those two streamers with just a smattering and woke up to this! (Anyone know why that helicopter was hovering above Capel hill this morning?)
  3. Just a dusting in Lyminge, currently -3C. But it's the snow type! Ok, I spent up until the turn of the century in Torbay so wasn't really conducive for snow but I've never seen snow like this before! It just puffs away if you blow it, looks artificial almost, out of a can. I guess this is powder snow but in all my 50 odd years it's a first for me!
  4. Not just us with out of the ordinary temps. The Arctic is positively balmy! Is this the result of the polar vortex split / SSW giving us our snow event and an early spring at the pole? http://sites.uci.edu/zlabe/arctic-temperatures/ (Wow! Coldest of the year so far. -4C here now!)
  5. First flakes in Lyminge! Fine, floaty... If we get lots of this stuff, on this cold ground, it'll drift like anything!
  6. Yup, it's a pretty night out there. Bone dry and fresh with that gorgeous half moon. Almost a mackerel sky with that high, thin cloud sheet.
  7. -2C and things on a knife edge for us! Keep warm and keep yer sledge waxed!
  8. Heh... I'm in Kent. I know my place! (Nod to John Cleese & the two Ronnies)
  9. One of the main reasons I cancelled my TV licence. Love the storm glass pics! Have been looking for a good one. Can anyone name the one shown? Such a cool piece of forecasting history...
  10. Can anyone confirm in my locality (Lyminge, Kent) I've got a new sensor outside currently reading -1C. Is it close?
  11. Spot on, you beat me to it! Supercooled water droplets just itching to turn to ice if anything disrupts their equilibrium. Hits anything, cold or not, and immediately turns into ice glazing anything and everything. Brings down trees, power cables, encases cars... Dramatic, dangerous and beautiful!
  12. Have been having the same thoughts here in Lyminge. Although things look like they're starting to head our way! https://www.buienradar.nl
  13. Travis Perkins, I got 2x20kg rock salt for about £8. Ordered online and picked it up straight away. Then Screwfix for a decent snow shovel, crampons from eBay arrived today and B&M do an RAC branded screenwash good for -15C if used neat. Get the pink one, not the blue. The blue is only good for -7C. £1.50 a litre. Not going to be unprepared this time! Crampons needed as I have two prosthetic legs. Best solution I could think of!
  14. ... Looks like you were right Kent old chap!
  15. Wouldn't the "Perth bit" be Sting Jet / Tornado curl producing territory?
