My parents went up there in the fall 2001 on the cog railway, I still have the calendar present.
Fastest gusts on earth?
It’s weather station churns out astonishing wind chill numbers.

It's about 50 miles away as the crow flies. Could catch glimpses of it while doing parking-lot duty at the school where I used to work.

Never mind snow, it has been pissing down all day in RH20, steadily getting heavier.
Apparently we are due thunderstorms tomorrow...

You can't 'never mind snow', on the 'more snow tomorrow' thread!
Your post should be on the 'thunderstorms kicking thread'

Just finished $11K USD replacing my 40-yr old heating system -- new boiler, new hybrid electric heat pump domestic hot water, relined chimney...
So, around here, I expect a lame, and tame, winter... Murphy's Law, Umbrella Corollary: "If you buy an umbrella, it won't rain."

That sounds very reasonable considering the cost of heat pumps.

Only the hot water heater is a hybrid heat-pump.
For home heating (hot-water baseboard) -- heat pumps were just too expensive, even with generous rebates from the government. Climate plays a role, too.
We wanted hybrid for home heat -- can't do heat-pump alone in this climate with the fabric of the house (built 1936), so settled for the highest-efficiency oil-fired boiler we could get

Southern Water still running adverts on TalkSport over water ‘shortage’…kind of incredible considering the volume of rain that’s fallen over the last few weeks

It’s sodden here. BBC SE this evening forecast heavy rain for the next 7 days.

The main section took well, I got lucky with some all important sun for photosynthesis. A lush emerald.
Three days later I used the spare elsewhere, I forgot to unroll it in the meantime, it looks a bit sorry for itself.

Apologies, but boilers and rain had taken over the thread. On a snow positive, last 2 days the Alps have seen the first white stuff.

Just checked. Here in Durrington we've had almost 207mm this month, with no sign of a let up any time soon.

You’d be aware that Eastbourne has a very longstanding approved weather station, here are its averages, you can muck around between periods …. and see hard facts on global warming. I realise the rain numbers might be slightly lower due to the Beachy rain shadow.
In our Withdean garden we’ve had 172mm so far this month.
