What's the weather like?

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Bit wet and breezy here (up north), but nothing exceptional. I'll keep you all updated if anything changes.

Is this what we used to call 'weather'?

Heavy snow 30-45 minutes north of here and transport all out but something of nothing in Gloucestershire so far and it can really snow here when it does. Heavy sleet 5-8pm but ground was too wet after torrential rail to really lay.

Imperial weather.

The standard severe weather warning when it’s lower than 4 degrees or higher than 20

Plenty of ice but no snow yet

It's sunny but a bit nippy here this week (17 C), but fortunately will warm up next week (22 C).

Overcast, cool and fairly calm here in the Thames Valley. F****** horrible out with dogs a couple of hours ago mind. We rarely get snow here what with the Hampshire and Berkshire Downs to the south and west respectively and the Chilterns to the north. If it comes from the east we're too far west and vice versa.

Just to confirm, no real change here today.

Are you asking for fun, or is it a cirrus question? 🙂

Hopefully the puns will not cloud over the very important weather news.

That's where he's hiding the evidence.

This is what the “weather” did to the sea wall a few miles from here last week.

A bit of “weather” also ended this man’s life.

They issue weather warnings for a reason.

Did the "weather" never do those things before the warnings became a thing?

It’s called climate change now, which is the rebranded Global warming. Which was the next step from the hole in the ozone layer and Acid Rain which people fixed by not using hair spray.

There were never storms, it never got hot, we never had snow. The whole world just hovered between 16 and 24 degrees all year round with exactly the right amount of rain to make sure we never had droughts or floods.

In the 50s and early 60s I lived in Dovercourt, near Harwich,  about 100 yards from the beach. Whenever there was a storm I used to love hiding behind the low wall that separated the promenade from the marine parade and watch as the waves splashed up and got blown right across the road. Great fun.

I heard the weather had joined Labour. The tides come in...change their minds, and U-turn back out.
