Storme

Just had a weather alert saying METO warning for ice from 4pm. Sunny here at the moment.

I bought this for my partner in 2011/12. We never settled in our previous house and he never used it. I know its not the most amazing weather station, but I wondered if it were still worth using? We feel more settled here and he wants to set it up. Does anyone know about this WS? Whether there are software updates? Would be grateful of any advice.

It's my first year up here. I was down south last year and our corner of Surrey was the only place not to get heavy snow. Just a light covering. We did get the frozen rain which was extremely interesting to watch though.

I am not convinced it will fall as much snow, if any, this far East. According to friends who live in Loughborough it generally fizzles out before it gets there, so being the other side of it I may miss out. Shame we didn't get that Easterly.

One or two flakes here East of Luga. Paths like icerinks. Would be nice to have a dusting, but it's a start!

@Catacol Thank you for such an explanatory post.

Sorry if this is a lame question but as a complete novice, can I ask the more clever and long term members who post on this forum; How close to a snow event have the charts suddenly changed and it's all been off? A matter of days? Hours? And what changes would you be looking for? Not trying to be doom and gloom, just interested.

Thank you.

Chilly but sunny today. Sorry not been posting for a bit. Hoping winter kicks in later this month!

Thank you. Sorry if I sound a bit dumb but trying to learn.

I don't understand these models very much but am learning from reading these threads. I don't want to take the thread off track by asking too many questions. Last winter I was in Surrey and the Beast gave us nothing but a sprinkling. I have moved to the East Midlands. From what I am interpreting, and I am probably wrong, but am I still in the wrong area for possible snow? Is it more westerly?

A cold and showery day here in Leicestershire, made bleaker by the sad news here today. Not a football fan but in the few short months I have been here I realise how passionate and proud the people of Leicestershire are of LCFC the Foxes.

We had rain. This morning it was so bitter out. Very possibly something wintery mixed In with it.

Was just thinking the same.

Very warm last night and today. Lovely blue skies.Wind has really started to pick up now.

Wind picking up here. Chilly too.

Wind and rain whipping around nicely out there. Stay safe everyone.

Thanks for that. Wind and rain really picked up here. No thunder as yet. I am probably a bit strange. I have got a top window open and the noise of the wind and rain is almost comforting. I lived in a second, (top), floor flat for 40 years with my mum. You could hear weather against the roof and windows. My boyfriend and I moved to Charlwood in 2012. The house wasn't really one you could hear the weather in, if you get what I mean. This house we are currently in is brilliant for hearing rain and wind. Sorry for waffling on.

Sorry to jump in but wanted to ask what the East Midlands is expected to be like? Only moved up here in May so only just beginning to fathom the weather up here. Are we in for strong wind just East of Loughborough?

It's still looking rough today til tomorrow and still rather worried about Sunday in this area too.

As quite as anything outside. I am also seeing weather runs saying it's going to be bad on Sunday too.

Sorry double post.

Woke in the night feeling hot to find it very mizzly here East of Loughborough. Brightening up a bit with sun trying to poke through and feeling muggy. Oregon weather clock reading 20.3 degrees C in the bedroom. And it seems we have been upgraded to be in the path of storm Helene.

Just cloudy here. Cool but I personally am happy with that. The trees have started to turn early. Noticeable lack of flowers on a lot of plants this summer too. I suspect winter won't be so bad up here this year. Shame I missed it. I may never see a winter like that again, up here.

We have quite a breeze. Nice. Cool for sleeping.
