Stormy Weather

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Lots of people in shirt sleeves, no shorts spotted but probably the final bare midriff of the year.

Not up here, Pet - whenever I drive home from Huddersfield on Fridays and Saturdays at the end of November, there's always a group of young people with barely a stitch on going to their various clubs. (I knew I'd reached proper middle-age when I passed a group of young women almost wearing something and found that my first reaction was "They'll catch their deaths!")

If I don't wear a vest nowadays at my age I find my shirts tend to pop out and my trousers fall dangerously low!

Simon of the Weatherweb forecasting site is complaining about the alarmism involved in naming our deeper passing depressions - Abigail in this particular instance - and quite rightly too, imv:

Pleasant morning and afternoon in the Pennines today - mild, sunshine & dry. The winds have just picked up (well, "started chucking things around" would be more accurate) and it's started to rain just as the light is going, which I think is very civilized of it - if you're got to have rotten weather, let's at least have it when nobody can see it. The Panpipe chimneys are making sure we can hear it, though.

Ditto up to 2 p.m.,......then all hell let loose. Ferocious gales and great sheets of rain. Skies violet/grey, and genuinely ugly.

And he is quite right, and you too. There is far too much of this whipping up panic about this and that.
This seems to be the way everything is going.

Well said, Simon Keeling!

Lovely crisp morning down here, clear and refreshing.

When I first heard about it on the radio, I thought it was "A big gale".

Anyway, not a breath of wind here this morning - or yesterday, for that matter.

Yes, and we are much the same in the Great Glen. Plenty of rain though, but no Abigail.

And I was so looking forward to meeting her!

On the Fylde Coast of the North West England its blowing strongly, raining heavy in bursts and its just been hailstoning almost horizontally. Nasty weather!

The Stormy weather Thread seems to be loading slower and slower now with all these pages. Since people have decided to start another WAYLTN II, without even asking me, perhaps with a general consensus of opinion, is it time for a Stormy weather II thread to begin?

It was Mahlerei's thread to begin with, but I understand he's no longer a forum member. Or am I wrong on that?

Some very nasty stuff moving from south west and reaching northern fells. Seems to be intensifying as I post.

Yes, Mahlerei did start the thread but as he is no longer here, or sporadically at least, we havn't the option of asking
