Driving from Tunbridge wells in kent to Crawley West Sussex on way home from work on country lanes. Stars out above me and some beutiful flashes of light lighting up the tops of the tall clouds in distance. A beautiful sequence if flashes just happened from South to north in sequence. Can see very frequent flashes all across sky to west. Btw I have stopped driving while grabbing coffee to post this

Got caught in it on the A21 on way home at 8pm, REALLY heavy snow, blowing about like crazy, got to hill above sevenoaks on way down to M25 and hardly anyone could get up the hill as were sliding all over the place, people spinning all over. A lot of beamers and mercedes thinking they new better and spinning off. All lanes were covered with snow and on the M25 was not too much better.
Here is a Vid from Tunbridge Wells just after left work:
a couple of pics too: Tunbridge Wells
And some of the drifting in crawley
-
Showing -1 on car temp. Started showing here in Crawley not too ling ago and settling nicely already,
-
Jut drive home from work in Tunbridge Wells, Kent... As soon as I got home to Crawley, West Sussex, halfway in to crawley, very lightly snowing.
No flakes seen around until then
Car reading -1 between Tubridge Wells and East Grinstead and 0 between East Grinstead and Crawley
-
Had to go to Guildford today, wow is all that i can say. Ont the A3 down from the M25 there was a slight covering on the trees of frost. same as I was getting in to Guildford, within 100 yards the frost all of a sudden become VERY thick, like a snowfall. I took some pics on my iPhone. These were taken around 13:30
And finally - a panoramic view!
-
Very cold drive home from Tunbridge wells via A21 > M25 > M23 -2 recorded near tunbridge wells on dash and -3 near crawley.
Saw wierdest fog, was hanging over the M23, but ahead was clear, all the car headlights were illuminating it underneath making it look very spooky.
to remind people who do not know the M25 between just before Clackett Lane services all the way to the M26/A21 junction now has 50MPh limit until 2014 for major roadworks enforced by average speed cameras!! (and judging by fact average speed cameras poles have been popping up all the way to the M23 the roadworks will extend all the way at some point.

Thanks Paul, i'll have to find another way to feel naughty now lol
-
Strange I've had one appear too, im not aware of doing anything wrong lol.... mebbe I did but in profile shows "There are no warnings to display."
Just makes me feel naughty, just like to know if done something wrong so I wont do again.
Ta!

Coming home from work in tunbridge wells via the A264 /East Grinstead rain hammering down
A LOT of standing water on roads round here, hit a large area of water on the A23 in Crawley and aquaplaned (though luckily wasnt on bend).
If something *does* happen roads are going to be hellish by morning
-
This seems to have fired up VERY quick, as described earlier, i put on headphones to listen to music about half an hour ago, and took them off to hear howling gusts, which seem to be vibrating the house....
I also seem to have a draught coming from somewhere which is forcing itself thru something and sounding like a kazoo lol
-
Very interesting drive home
Left work in tunbridge Wells at 8:10 and it was breezy, drive throug villages of langton green and groombridge nearby and everything was totally still, not a leaf moving.
Saw some interesting low clouds just past there, with an aeroplane with all its spotlights on illuminating it.
wind got stronger into east grinstead and when I hit Turners Hill area was almost in a head on collision with a Wheely Bin coming the other way lol until it ran off road REALLY strong guts up there with car being buffeted across road.
Finally started raining and wind gusts lower back in Crawley.
I did a Coast, and although I couldnt have roof down, not that rich
and even though was November had all my windows open. as if felt quite mild. -
Heres a radar cap from the NW radar at 8:30 which is about when i got hit by the torrential rain in the A21.
-
WOW....... Driving home I usually take the A264 Tunbridge Wells > East Grinstead > Crawley router, but saw the clouds and though wouldnt like to drive home on that route in torrential Rain, so took the A21 up to M25 and west to M23.
Left Tunbridge Wells and got hammered by the heaviest rain i think I have ever seen. This was on the A21 Between Tonbridge and Sevenoaks in Kent.
Luckily replaced my worn out windscreen wipers yesterday, as visibility virtually 0, as they couldnt even clear the rain. Couldn't see the road in front for a time. Lots of CGs hitting each side of the A21 just before the storm lost energy.
Scared me <expletive>less, but yet was enjoyable none the less
