The wet and windy, with occasional snow, 2020/2021 thread

[Puggit]

The 6 inches we had earlier in the winter went in 6 hours!

[rossub]

Should have said, we did have it nearly a week before the thaw kicked in

[Blib]

We still have isolated snow patches/runs here in NE Suffolk.

Some surprisingly long stretches, in ditches, up against hedges and along roads which were subject to drifts.

I'll grab a photo or two tomorrow, when I walk the dog, if they're still extant.

It’s a shame how quickly the snow has disappeared, even from higher ground.

We lost our whole 6” in about 48 hours.

As I approach 60, I'd be delighted to keep a solid 6" for 48 hours

Another amber warning for South Wales- rain.

Yep lashing it down and looks like its not easing of till sunday. Brecon looks set for over a 100mm of rain the river taff was starting to rise when I left work wonder if it will get higher than it did last month. Currently at 2.3m hit 4.2m in jan and pretty much this time last year hit 5.4m and caused a massive flood in the area.

Still a covering in the forest sheltered from the worst of the wind but only patches and drifts left on open fields and around the garden.

Noticeably warmer here in West Berks. Pleasant day out with lots of walking. Dry (sorry to those getting dumped on).

I wouldn’t. It would mean the end of mine had been chopped off

We’ve gone from minus 40 to above zero in 6 days . Some real warmth in the sun now too , here’s to a few plus temp days then we’ll see what comes next , still only February so can’t get excited yet .

There was a breeze and it wasn't cutting. It was great!

Yup, Bucks/Ox border... had my morning coffee and a vape in the back garden in jeans and a t shirt. I could actually feel the warmth of the sun.
Much greyer and “meh” today. But still have all the windows and doors open, it’s bloody lovely.

3" over night in Colorado. Most snow in about 6 weeks.

Balmy too; -6c.

More rain here, less windy than previous days though.

Stupidly windy here at the moment.

Glorious down south - ALMOST did the lunch time dog walk without a coat.

I just walked 5 miles through the countryside without any need for a coat here in Surrey. It’s glorious in the sun!

Fylde.....wind & rain

It's blowing a bit in Leicester, just had a five mile stroll round a park in shorts and sweatshirt without getting hypothermia, so it's warm enough, just properly windy.
