I doubt if you've ever heard of the Patuxent Trough, the Foundation Trough or the Offset Rift Basin as they've only just been discovered:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/scie...environment-44245893

I haven’t check your link El but is it something to do with the discoveries under one the polar ice caps?

Yes, you're right the Antarctic ice cap rather than the Arctic one.

I watch the news a lot El 

The one is supposed to be as deep as the Grand Canyon , isn’t it?

The length and width is of the scale of the Grand Canyon so that could be the case for the depth - the article just says that they are deep.

👍😀

There was a radio item this afternoon about the BBC weather app. A lot of people have been confused by the use of percentages of the chance of rain on an hour by hour basis. Someone from the MeteoGroup (who now provide the BBC forecasts) tried to explain this.

Say the forecast at 15.00 shows a 20% chance of rain.
Firstly it covers the hour leading up to 15.00 (so 14.01 to 15.00, not 15.00 to 15.59.

Secondly, the 20% does not mean that it will rain for 20% of the hour or 20% of the area covered by the weather station for the locality. What is means is that it you put a bowl out to collect any rain that at the end of the hour there's a 20% chance that there would be some rain (could be a teaspoon or several inches) in that bowl.

Evening all 

Squiggle, the back lawn still has a way to go but it already looks so much better than the bare, water logged swamp it was in Spring 

El, I’m glad the meetings went well.

Velvet, I hope you enjoyed our sunshine.

Summer and Moonie, I hope your gardens look good after you rain showers.

Thanks for the company, Ros, goodnight and sweet dreams.

Hug for any night owls 

*night owls* 🦉 I hope everyone’s had a good day and enjoyed the rain as much as myself & Moonie my garden looks happy tonight. 

After a 2 hour delay on the train, my mum has arrived! Bramble has already dumped me in favour of her lol 

El, I can’t wait to look at that arctic discovery link, I love stuff like that! And I’ve set my sky box to record the movie you recommended yesterday  

sweet dreams you lovely people

night yogi enjoyed it tonight but I always do night summer

Good morning everyone

Gloomy weather here, some rain possible this morning, som rain possible later in the afternoon, and then the possibility of thunderstorms late eveining and all day tomorrow with the greatest risk seems to be tomorrow un the late morning/early afternoon. The BBC forecast is worse than the Met Office one.

Summer, I hope you have a great time with your mum

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone.

It’s bright and breezy and feels quite cool atm.

Sorry your weather isn’t very good, El.

Have a good day everyone, whatever your weather is like.

Good morning everyone, overcast and damp this morning, the forecast is not good for the weekend sadly although we can't complain I suppose as the last Bank Holiday Weekend was lovely.

Enjoy your day everyone

Thanks Yogi

Squiggle, I think you and I could both be getting thunderstorms. For me, the most likely time of getting them is as I'm coming home from church tomorrow.

Nothing to do with tonight's football match:
Ewe'll never walk alone:

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet and Ros 

night yogi night summer-have  a lovely day with your mumvelvet

Good morning everyone

Dry here at present but the threat of thunderstorms today remains. I wasn't woken up by thunder during the night though I know there were some 15,000 bolts in the south during the night. I hope no-one here got struck by one

Summer, I hope you have a nuce day at the spa with your mum and cousins today. I go to a spa on a regular basis - the official name of Cheltenham is Cheltenham Spa

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone 

The weather was cool, breezy and cloudy when I woke and now the sun is trying to break through.

No thunderstorms up here but I saw some videos of last night’s lightning on BBC breakfast.

No facial or pedicure at your spa, El? 

Have a good day, all

 the thought of El having his pedis cured...shudders 

No, I don't go in for facials or pedicures

Started raining here but no thunder - yet though I think it's coming as it's quite oppresive. - that's as close to a thunder smiley on this site

Good morning everyone  

So far we have had two mini thunderstorms, one downpour, one burst of hail and now we have sunshine  

The first clap of thunder rattled everything and frightened me. I nearly fell out of bed  

Have a great day everyone  

Good morning everyone, after quite a bit of rain and some thunder and lightning last night (like you EL it did not keep me awake) it's now quite a nice morning.  I hope your spa day goes very well Summer.

Enjoy your day everyone 

 <— El 

So far today, there's been rain but no thunder and lightning. It's pouring at present but not before I got home from church.

Squiggle, I'm glad the thunder didn't disrupt your sleep

For anyone who didn't see this in the last week.

By chance I came across this piece of choral work by someone I hadn't heard of - Peteris Vasks. It's called Dona Nobis Pacem. It's a truly great work, up there with the likes Of Arvo Part and John Tavener.

@Rocking Ros Rose you in particular may appreciate this.
