80sWeather

Lovely clear crisp sunset this evening.

Boring as it sounds get the cold in first and the rest will take care of itself. My mind wants to know when it’s going to snow but after many past let downs living in the driest part of England it’s time to let go a little and just let what will be happen. Remember historically the models underestimate blocking and like to show operational runs with our biggest fear of low pressure ploughing through with mild air. This has a Dec 81 feel about despite the chopping and changing between runs the background seems to be dictating the bigger picture. I can’t wait to see the exited posts on here from all you guys who are lucky enough to get some snow. Winter is here let’s enjoy the fun and games!

Wow that’s amazing. Also agree Cambridgeshire had very little snow during the 2010 cold spell.

It’s a classic

As posted above one of the best sunsets this evening for years. IMG_2365.MOV

Last night’s activity over Cambourne Cambridge

Amazing storm for the last hour , just now passed over.

Looks rather hopeful for quite a lot of our region to see something later.

Oh please! Just happen for once.

Heavy showers incoming may not have to water the garden later.

Not taking any chances being on the edge of the red warning. Cambourne is notable for being windy. Just sacrificed a garden bench to support the wobbly fence.

It was very bad, the sound of the wind was like standing next to a motorway. I was just a kid living in Braintree and school was closed. Some of the trees were sheared off halfway up the trunks like something had just twisted them in half. Unbelievable weather event that always stands out in my memory.

I was 23 at the time working in St Ives Cambs on late shift I remember it rained all day and night then on my journey home to Godmanchester there was rivers of water running down the A14 slip road. Next day Huntingdon was virtually cut off from all sides as the river great Ouse seemed to rise from everywhere. Never seen flooding like that before.

Great strike picture, I was at Normans Bay last week, lovely part of the world.

Argh Lol, Was on holiday at Normans bay East Sussex all last week with cloud and a chilly NE wind. And of course now back in Cambridgeshire the heat and storms arrive on the Sussex coast.

Having a week on the East Sussex coast, very nice place but could do with a bit of sun

Watching the St Neots storm from my bedroom window with constant thunder and lightning.

Suns been out here for a couple of hours and feels really juicy.

Well finally after what seems like months of freezing cold and wet, we have some nice warm and sultry evenings to enjoy the garden that’s growing like crazy.

Looks like Northern Lights stunning.

Shame as yesterday’s fax had the winds converging right through E Anglia but it seems to have disappeared from the latest one. Winds look like they’re going back to NE again so maybe see a few flakes tonight.

Oh my god an actual heavyish snow shower woo hoo 1st one of the day.

That was a good one, also do you remember the Jan 2003 NNE that left people stranded on the A14 and M11? Got a pasting from this.

Same here been snowing all morning but not settling. After dark this would have been a few cm’s by now.
