Drat it, the squall line is now completely stationary. The good news is that it's weakening somewhat now.
EDIT: Really frustrating - it's been stuck over Dartford for half an hour now. At this rate the trough following behind will catch it up. I cannot understand why it's ground to a halt?
EDIT2: That explains it, a wave has formed on the front. The new cold front has appeared right at the western edge of the NW radar map... the countdown starts all over again then. :/
EDIT3, delayed as the mobile tower is having problems with its uplink: The squall line is definitely moving eastwards again and it's intensified again. Dartford's about to get another pounding!
EDIT4: And another kink, the squall line stalls yet again. Lights have started flickering again here after a relatively stable spell. The wind is still howling away outside and TBH I just want this hellishly long night to be over...
EDIT5: The squall line has reached Gravesend. However yet another kink has developed and it's still no closer to ending this spell of gales here.
