Stormy Weather

[Serial_Apologist]

Two trees down in the vicinity, but other than that, and numerous branches lying around, less damage than I would have expected, thank goodness.

Dawn's rosy fingers will soon sort him out!

Apparently the high winds are coming back tonight. I'm fed up with this winter already and it's hardly started, Moan, moan.

Sounds as if you've had quite a blast over there. It was a bit brisk last night as the wind picked up and the mercury dropped down to about 9 F (-?c). Clear, cold, and calm this morning. The snowdrops (poor, brave little flowers) are still out...no sign of snow though.

Winds already back here saly after a very calm morning and Met Office have a yellow alert for us, it's gusting 40mph, raining, cold, dark, miserable. Of course we've not had it as bad as Scotland so should be grateful for that and grateful for no snow!

[salymap]

Yes and the people without power have most of my sympathy. it's dreadful, as I know from the past when there were frequent power cuts.

Of course gas heating goes off too because of the pump, etc.

Is it just me or do others feel that a yellow alert merits barely a raised eyebrow?

Why a yellow alert?

I know that smoked haddock has a lingering smell but ....

PUR-LEASE salymap! A sentence containing gas and pump - you'll give mercia a fit of the giggles and then where will we be?

Apparently red alerts are only issued by the Met Office when the severe weather expected is imminent. Oh yes, and apparently Scotland only got it's red alert yesterday when the 100 mph wind peak had already been passed!

I'm off out tonight in all this wind and rain. Dalston should be pretty quiet I imagine...

SA that sounds like the Met Office. Bit like the BBC weather too!!

Blow winds and crack your cheeks.
Tonight, the right side of the house is out.
