Schnee

Is the cloud up here set to break up? There's alot of cloud here today.

The sun just emerged in East Leeds. Took a while XD! Not expecting anything up here but i'm watching the action further south. Keep safe if you're out in it :)

I'm not getting excited up here in Leeds. I seem to be too far north and east for any action.

I'm hoping for another hot, sunny summer but with a few more storms up here.... Last year was awesome as my roof solar generated enough electricity to null out the daytime cost of running the A/C.

I had my window open as i've got my projector on. Curtain is now soaked!

I'm gonna be working turnstile tech support tomorrow at Leeds Utd. Not looking forward to it or the walk between LUFC and old Matthew Murray ground where we park....

Good or bad? Am working at LUFC on Saturday....

If it comes off, it'll be a menace. I'm working turnstile support at a football match....

Hats off to Northern Powergrid working in the conditions. Certainly alot of outages in the region today.

Just seen this on Twitter. Awesome mammatus clouds in Bridlington.

Northern Powergrid's powercut map is offline and the 105 helpline is very busy too.

That looks like it's imminent here. It's getting dark again.

Leeds has a weather station too, that's showing a max windspeed of about 34mph at the moment with average 11mph. Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom SCI.NCAS.AC.UK

I'd keep quiet but keep your wits about you so you and your colleagues are safe. If indeed it's too windy, the i told you so feeling will be awesome.

I've got my fleet of UPS units plugged in. Should be good for light here for a day if it goes off....

Wonder if i should be worried about the solar panels on the roof...

There was a write up on the forum: The area I live got about 48cm of snow, I remember it vividly as it was a rainy Tuesday afternoon, slowly turning to sleet as I was walking on a paper round. Sleet got heavier going back to the shop and when I got out, heavy snow. It stopped around 9pm, I noticed how deep it was straight away as the chimneys looked so smaller with how much snow was on roofs. Other areas higher up where it turned earlier got over 70cm of snow I believe. The thaw happened from Friday. I'd have to either crawl up a pile of snow to deliver papers or look up and be quick if there was no mound of snow....

Oh, 25 years ago today. The still unbeaten (in E Leeds) snowfall I refuse to let history forget. It has remainded the reference point for snowfall since. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/the-1995-snowstorm-that-brought-chaos-to-yorkshire-and-killed-six-stranded-drivers-1-9038537 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/four-killed-as-blizzards-sweep-the-north-1569897.html

I could literally do that, i've got a several lights from removals over the years... Hoping we actually get some winter weather, i've forgotten what snow looks like....!

Interesting charts cropping up in the model thread. Notably as 25th January marks 25 years of the Great Yorkshire Dump. I'm sure the charts are teasing us.....

I was having a snooze, certainly woke me up!

I can put up with the lack of snow, dark mornings, evenings and in some cases all day, warmer weather. It fails to annoy me in Winter quite as much as walking into a shop or some other building that is trying to rival Austrailia's summer heat.

A seasonal Winter would be awesome, there's nothing worse than a mild wet winter when 10ºC is considered ''freezing'' and commercial buildings are hot enough to cultivate ''special'' plants. However, the sensible homeowner in me would prefer mild as it'll be cheaper on gas!

Cloudy here today, had the lights on since 2pm.... What's the week outlook set to be? I've been checking the model thread and all it seems to be is excitement over uppers. I'm not good at working surface temps from uppers and i'm curuous to what we're looking at up here! I'm working at LUFC next weekend.

Certainly been a fanstastic Bank Holiday weekend, glad the kids had some decent weather this August before they all go back to school. It's 29.5ºC in Leeds according to the Leeds University weather station. Pity there is no official weather station here anymore, would be nice to get on the top 20 list.
