Purplemaniacs Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 At work in Rutland we had a long shower this afternoon that started as rain but turned to snow, thank goodness it did not settle. It had turned very chilly just 1.5 when I drove home. Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 2 degrees, thunder, lightning, hail and getting windy. Storm force 10 forecast here tomorrow so have got an extra bungee to hold down the shower curtain run cover. Yuck, yuck, grim, grim - stop now please.

The Dogmother Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 We haven't had any storms, but my folks live in Hertfordshire, and had quite a bad one earlier today... May have been linked to the tornado in Harrow, which isn't too far from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 What a wild night! Thunder and lightening, wind, rain, hail & snow. Just a light smattering this morning but we've had some more rain since dawn. Sunny at the moment and cold at 4 deg. Waiting for the gales to hit this evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Ice and snow this morning, and it's snowing quite heavily right now. Gales due tonight - always nice to have something to look forward to ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 0.5deg and very icy here this morning. Clear skies so far, but we're due snow later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 We have a thin covering of snow, yesterday evening was very windy with squally showers of sleet, snow and rain, the snow that stuck came in the early hours. Cold and brightly sunny here at the moment but heavy rain forecast for later, we had loads of that during the day yesterday too with bright sunshine in between.

The Dogmother Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Windy and sideways sleet here... Loving this photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Oh I love that photograph! My dog will only walk into the wind. He hates it if it's blowing him from behind!! Really strong howling winds at the moment. It's much milder than earlier in the day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Great pic . The snow that fell yesterday is more or less gone, more snow showers this afternoon but didn't lie. Now very cold, wet and windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The wind is getting up here now , I can hear it howling past the front windows, rain too. Another sleepless night...I can't sleep when its blowing a gale out . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Here too, it wasn't too bad on the back of the house earlier, but up in my room,the rain and wind are howling and bashing the house. I will have to shut my window I think I hate sleeping without it open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Blowing a gale and lashing down here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 WOW!!!! That was a pretty wild and windy night.... is everyone still there? Slept with the window closed and earplugs in because of all the bashing and crashing outside. No rain yet this morning, but the weather channel app is telling me that we will get warning-worthy rain tonight, through until Friday morning.

dancing cloud Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Didn't get much sleep but, as far as I could tell in the pitch black, still in one piece. More strong winds forecast for later today and we may see snow tomorrow and Saturday. Roll on spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Very rough for the first part of the night but has died back considerably now. Dark, normally windy and cold showers now. Off out today so long gaps between showers would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Milder wild and windy here overnight and electricity went off for about 20 seconds last night - but enough to have to reset all the clocks etc - thankfully it stayed on - someone must have gone off though. The snow has all but disappeared with the wind and its trying to rain with it - not nice but I did manage to sleep till 4.30 with the window on the latch but then I had to shut it as it was so wild.

chickencam Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Most things are still here they should be, which is good. I actually love snuggling in my bed in a storm, listening to it lashing away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 me too. Was clearer first thing, but dark clouds now - I am outside for most of today, ao am hoping for more clement weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Crikey, what a wet and windy night! It was so noisy that I had to take an antihistamine to help to knock me out... the roof timbers were creaking rather ominously Can't see any tiles down this morning, thankfully. Bright, breezy and cool this morning, but big pools of standing water everywhere and very squelchy underfoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
