Gloucester Saint Posted January 8 Posted January 8 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.

Turkish Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) The standard severe weather warning when it’s lower than 4 degrees or higher than 20 Plenty of ice but no snow yet Edited January 8 by Turkish
Dark Munster Posted January 9 Posted January 9 It's sunny but a bit nippy here this week (17 C), but fortunately will warm up next week (22 C).
Winnersaint Posted January 9 Posted January 9 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.

Which was the next step from the hole in the ozone layer and Acid Rain which people fixed by not using hair spray. 1
Turkish Posted January 14 Posted January 14 23 minutes ago, Weston Super Saint said: Did the "weather" never do those things before the warnings became a thing? 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.

Weston Super Saint Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Today's weather warning for wind and rain - it's basically a winter's day. Rinse and repeat for Fri and Sat, weather warnings in place for some rain and 18mph winds. Madness.
