A random thread for weatherish things that don't warrant a thread of their own.

In E12 it's all thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening

And in CB6, internet dissapeared for 10 mins, almost a disaster

[Cudzoziemiec]

Bright sunshine here.

Alternating downpours with dry spells here in HA8. The Jaffa Cakes box delivered by Mr Sainsbury's EoTC was soggy & saturated.

We had a 45 minute power cut last night which I suspect was due to weather - the power network reckoned an underground cable failure but it was rather rainy so suspect that caused whatever problem was caused.

It was fine as it was just about bedtime anyway.

It occurs to me that in the 15 or so years of my experience living in and near Llandysul i have never heard or seen a thunderstorm.  I don't know if is some weird Teifi Valley thing or what, but i do miss it. 

Until today.
Bang crash wallop.

Unusual to have one in the morning IME.

The oddest thunderstorm I recall was after a day's freezing cycling with Auntie Helen, followed by a tai chi class that was cut short as a result of very heavy snow. As I slid/cycled home, there were a couple of really loud thunder crashes. December 2010 IIRC.

Ah, incorrectly performed tai chi will anger the weather gods.

Everyone loves a bit of Thundersnow. Especially Jim Cantore.

Getting a bit soggy in Furryboottoon tonight

The Ingraudia has a piece on "How to survive winter" with advice from people with outdoor jobs: scaffolder, vet, etc. Strikes me they're talking to the wrong people! Surviving winter with an outdoor job is a matter of clothing and food. More generally, it's a matter of day to day weather. Surviving winter with an indoor job is a matter of attitude and finding ways to kiss the sky (^(C)One of Isla's Icons) when it's not there.

The Teifi burst it's banks overnight.  Memories of last October's flood.  However, not big and receding already.  Phew!

[T42]

Here it's been bitterly cold the last few days, dry but with a fresh NE wind to make it colder.

Looking back at my archives, on 30th October 2006 I did a 200k with an average temperature of 20°C and a max of 28.

Every year at the end of October and beginning of November I'm impressed by the ability of fireworks to go off in heavy rain.

Ice eggs.

Much of my Audaxing in the 90s centred there...
