COLD!

Thunder & lightning with snow? didn't think that was possible!

It is very possible... because am on the coast sea temp is 10c and on land is almost zero causing storms says BBC weather. The lighting is blue when snowing thundersnow all over northeast uk atm!

Wow. Just watched a few Thunder Snow videos on youtube. Looks amazing

Ohh, I think you get those storms on ski resorts?!

I remember when I was a wee lad, was excellent! Stayed up all night to watch it. Also we had a hurricane/tornado sort of storm thing in Spain once, that was pretty epic! Wasn't like blowing houses away, but it was knocking trees over and all that mularky!

Loved it! Was with the G'parents, they didn't like it so much...heh.

Old people ay! Got to love them!

Dont worry Grae, I didn't mean you pal

Aha caught you out Derry


Good afternoon Funkyfriends

Hope you have all had a good weekend and are all well

I'm fine thanks Grae, how are you?

This is what we are getting

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundersnow

A lake effect or ocean effect thunderstorm which is produced by cold air passing over relatively warm water; this effect commonly produces snow squalls



How is all this afternoon?

Pleased to hear it Smurf

I'm not too bad thanks

Hi Mark

You've only got a tiny bit of snow

Stop complaining and get the sledge out

hahaha already did that but went 1 better and built that igloo

Forecast says temperatures to get down to -20c later this week

yes that true wales has seen -18 , scotland -14

Did you have a heater in your igloo ?


That's going to be a bit chilly

grae believe it or not it was warm inside , have you seen it? picture on page 58

Nope I shall go and have a look now

Now that is impressive !!

Did it take long to build ?

around 5hours give or take a few breaks its over 5 foot tall and can fit about 4/5 people in

Sounds great !!
