i was going to say snowing but i think that would be too big a shock

[Keraunic]

Crikey! That band of rain looks a bit vicious. Hope we get some T&L later. :O Had no rain at all today which makes a change.

Anyway.....been putting up book shelves today so haven't seen much of the great outdoors.

I'm just hoping this weather doesn't knock out the electric/TV signal. Sherlocks on later.

first front hitting now

 

cold front to follow

 

then troughs following on behind

 

ouch

 

also note the isobars how tight they are now

[Reefseeker]

Well that lightning and thunder amidst the heavy rain came as a surprise; will keep an eye and ear out for more as the evening progresses, preferably not during dog walk time. On the subject of which, so sorry for your loss Shotski, you have lost a member of your family.

 

Kingston riverside today was almost overflowing at the banks in places, so could do without any more rain now.
