Why oh why do folks in the other threads love caravaning at eachother so much....I come in here to take shelter from the winter thread.....man what a bunch of little caravanes in there this afternoon....

 

Rain persists in London Taan, its that horrid fine stuff that you cant see until you realise you are soaked through,,,,humphh....

 

Haha caravan....I do love the swear filter, but i think most of us can handle the word Bit*ching/Bitc*es lol

 

Agreed lloyd i took one look at the arguments and headed out of there

[Kent Snow]

A grey and drizzly afternoon at work in Thanet. 9.6C.

[Jax]

Afternoon all on this damp cool and dull day (not that it bovvers me).

 

Last nights frost did not make it to the morning before the rain and cloud arrived (saved having to do the car windows which is a bit of a result on a Monday morning in the dark just after 6am)

Stay in this much friendlier thread Lloyd, you know it makes sense.

 

It has been a truly rotten day here in the London area with incessant grey skies and rain throughout the day, nothing to heavy but just non stop muck.

 

I haven't seen Tamara post here for a couple of days but just wondering if she spotted the Status Quo feature on BBC2 at the weekend ? It was a documentary followed by their TOTP's appearances. I would imagine it's on  BBC i-Player for a few days.

Afternoon all, have been in a rather reflective mood the past few days, puts your interest in weather into perspective when you see the devastation in the Philippines, mother nature can be  truly ruthless when she wants to be!

Certainly puts home what you have/want/need when you see such loss and destruction.

super duper mongoose dog biscuits

 

just testing the swear filter as a child would do...

that is brilliant...

 

actually made me laugh out loud. I'll be saying 'sick' next.

 

Damp on the M1 on the way home.

[Tom Jarvis]

ill give it a test the weather at the moment outside is bloody miserable and the it has been raining all day I wish it would jaffa cakes off

[snowrye]

Indeed,i wish it would right arm off of a short sleeved shirt do one

[Freezeflake]

Some people carried on their activities and making noise during the silence today. Is it too much to ask that you stop and are quiet for 2 minutes in the year for those who have fallen.

[Captain Shortwave]

Ah yes the swear filter, for example the line from a rap song

"I've been to Southampton but I've never been to Sbad wordhorpe" 

[Mark Neal.]

A mild 12.5c after a a wet and dank day. Give me cold and clear any day!

Very foggy here in the Sussex Weald. Be careful out there.

[Mesoscale]

Thanks John!!I think ive been burnt too many times by these ramps, so for now im going to take it one step at a time and TRY not to get my self worked up about it. I will also observe the winter thread from a far and only dive in to comment every now and again.So, when was the earliest settling snow you can remember everyone? Mine must of been November 2010, because thats when I really started to get into weather and I can't really remember snow earlier than that in my lifetime, Christmas 2010 was my first white christmas also.I don't know if liking both Thunderstorms and Snow equally is a downfall or good thing? haha.

hi meso

 

ramps are what they are

 

and just for fun

 

i am more likely now to go with the fax charts

 

at present the fax runs are matching with ecm which gives me a tad more confidence on this cold snap

 

however details etc are near on impossible to predict

 

although a bit of a ramp is good fun

 

my earliest snow remembered is october 2008
