Bad ice storm hitting Atlanta! http://www.weather.com/news/commuter-conditions/atlanta-travel-impacts-winter-storm-pax-20140211
Weather is crazy this year, on all fronts.
Today is the calm before the storm. Expecting another "significant" snowstorm tomorrow, according to the weather folk. We'll see. Right now it's sunny and brisk.

We had a really bad storm here in the UK last night, it sounds scary from what I have read on British forums.

It's snowing. Funny thing about forecasts...you really never know how it's going to turn out. They have been pretty consistent with keeping us in the 6 to 10 inch range. Yet they keep saying how it could change depending on the temperature and track of the storm. Some areas will have a changeover to sleet and rain and that will reduce the amount of snow that accumulates. They can't seem to predict that exactly. This is where I stand right now...it's been snowing for approximately two hours. We still have snow on the ground from last week. But you can see where the new snow is accumulating on the steps and walkway. I'm going to try and document with pictures throughout the day, lol.

^Feel free to keep it all and enjoy it. One of the problems with the unpredictability of the forecast is that it's so hard to plan anything. It's really annoying.
I'm sure everyone in the UK has seen the footage of flooding around the Thames (doubt it made it worldwide), I work in Staines which is smack bang in the middle of it. It has been absolutely mad. We are now working from a contingency site 50 miles away but I have had to drive through the affected area several times and it's surreal - like I'm inside a disaster movie. Lucky noone I know has flooded *yet* but I have my wellies ready and waiting for if I need to go muck in. Feel awful for all the residents both here and the other parts of the UK its hit 
Hope everyone else is Ok.

I had planned on going out there to try and keep on top of the accumulation...I think I may have waited a bit too long. It's really kicking up out there now. Very windy/gusty with the snow blowing sideways. I was hoping to clear off my car a few times during the day. Not so sure I want to even open the front door, now.

BBC News - Wavier jet stream 'may drive weather shift' Pallab Ghosh, Science correspondant: "We may have to get used to winters where spells of weather go on for weeks - or even months"
It's nice here today, sunny and cold and I feel quite guilty as there might be further flooding in other parts of the UK. BBC News - UK storms: Cameron warns of further flooding

I watched the documentary concerning the UK's recent bad weather on SKY and it is really scary. Experts do not agree and some say that it is due to the climate change whilst others say it is normal. Apparently it is a natural
occurrence that happens every 250 years.

I think it is prob climate change.....the Earth has to try to get the extra energy at the equatorial area out to the polls, and back out into space....and that involves a lot of changes in things like the jet stream.
