Groovychook Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Heavy showers and a bit of thunder & lightening yesterday, but a lovely autumnal sunny morning today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 For want of a better word . . . interesting. It's so changeable in minutes. White out - even wipeout! Torrential rain, hail, wind, and hot hot sunshine when that rubbish has passed by. Smashing clouds to watch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 We had some torrential showers yesterday too with sunny intervals in between. We were in Asda in the late afternoon and then we heard a weird noise, at first we thought it was a truck being wheeled along another aisle, then we thought it was the air conditioning, before we realised it was the heavy rain battering the roof, it was so heavy that you couldn't see across the pavement outside. By the time we came out it was sunny and blustery again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Had that here this afternoon too; it's been 'interesting'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soo66 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It's like The Day After Tomorrow...I'm expecting some dodgy CGI wolves to wander across the road any minute! My brave guard dog is currently trying to live up my left trouser leg...bit of a squeeze leg/lurcher combo. The girls are charging about as though nothing is happening.

The Dogmother Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 One of my lurchers always gives me warning of a storm by pacing the floor and muttering to herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Today mostly sunny, went for a walk, watched this huge cumulus cloud build into the anvil, cloud just neared us as we got back to the car. Went to pick up veg from Mandy's farm and it started raining. By the time we got back to Laverstoke for some meat (and OH has a thing for the beef jerk) and it was torrential. When we came out the sun was out again and the journey home resembled something out of the Stormchasers on the Discovery Channel. Well - it used to be on, they pulled the plug the other year.

The Dogmother Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Saturday was mostly fine and warm after a very foggy start - there was a pretty nasty accident near Brackley in the early hours - I drove past but the emergency services had just arrived, so I didn't stop to offer first aid. This morning is cold (4deg), frosty and foggy - it always turns cold this week in October when the Michaelmas Fair comes to town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yesterday was a better day than I expected, was outside all day for archery fortunately much nicer than last Saturday. Warm in the afternoon when the sun shone. About 3 we could hear thunder rumbling around but no rain, at home they had had torrential rain, large puddles as I drove home. Today is cold 3 degrees and it was a bit misty but clearing now. Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Lovely day yesterday, warm in the sunshine but a nip in the breeze. Cold this morning- 6 deg. It's looking like it's going to be a white cloud day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Dull all day long, but dry. Just cleaned out the girls but for the most part it's reading and researching and not much else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Spent the weekend in Christchurch (Dorset not NZ). Incredible thunder and lightning in the early hours of Saturday morning, then again just after we started fishing . Lovely Saturday afternoon, but cold, windy and dull today.
