Storme

We have like a snow mizzle effect going on. Is snizzle a thing?

Yeah it's half sunny here. Completely stopped now.

Well, windy, snowy, getting heavier. Looks like it could be in for sometime. We shall see.

Where I used to live, in Surrey, the easterlies were the only one's to bring decent snow. Except 2018 when we actually got virtually nothing. Right I am back off to sleep now.

Just been to the loo and yes, icing sugar here too. Guess I am not quite in that sweet amber spot despite being up on the Wolds. I am literally a mile or 2 away from the Amber warning.

There I am. Just below Notts. Zero snow depth.

Minor ppn here. I think I am neither east enough or west enough for anything major.

Quiet here all day. The calm before the storm?

The old Mk1 eyeball Had some cold drizzle from it but nothing much.

When I went out to do the chooks, I was ok in my tshirt, by the time I came back in the temp had dropped quite a lot.

Just going to clean out the chickens and top up feed. Sky gone a funny orange colour.

I am up the road from you and have this horrible suspicion we will have almost nothing this time.

I am East Midlands, North Leicestershire. We had an amazing event the other week. Seems like we might be in the middle between any snow.

Been trying to visit a friend in Harrogate for a few weeks. First time we cancelled as we both hot a bug, second time was last Thursday and I would have got stuck on the roads, third time is tomorrow and what with the current flooding and more rain, we have decided to postpone til Spring. It's my drive up and back that leads me through all the flooded areas. So we have postponed til the Spring as we were going to RHS Harlow Carr. OH been saying for months snow here in the East Midlands for Christmas. Nothing scientific just his gut feeling.

Temperatures better for me. I have an autoimmune disease which also causes me not to regulate extremes of temperatures very well. I am better with cold than the recent heat. Despite the radar yesterday showing ppn from Belgium area in a stream, today it was really weird and showed it just bubbling up out of Leicester. See pic. Also, despite the fact we have had terrible rain previously and the River Soar had burst its banks, the brook in our village is almost dry.

Nothing here east of Loughborough. 2⁰C cooler in the bedroom now but still reading 27.7⁰C. Hope the colder front arrive a bit smartish.

Horribly hot and muggy and the storms seem to be more Suffolk and Lincolnshire bound.

We have hit 35⁰C here just east of Loughborough. Hoping we get a cracker of a storm later but suspect we are just in the wrong place.

Continuous rain but 2nd band of lightning starting now.

I have never experienced a storm like that in my life. Almost constant lightning and the thunder was constant, eerie and like someone shaking a metal sheet in a theatre. And the rain was absolutely torrential; I could barely see the houses across the road. Quite amazing. Still raining quite a bit now. Lightning and thunder gone north across The Wolds. Bring on phase 2!

Really cold this morning when I cleaned the chickens out. Just taken this picture. Snow still here. In my experience if snow remains then there is still more to come. It may be a few weeks away. We shall see.

Sorry mate.

You know I said we needed an Easterly?????

Not a thing here. Everything has melted too.
