Sleet now, may have to put my walking boots on rather than trainers if this keeps up!!!!

Surprised no one has posted about storm EU nice.

Subliminal messages in play.

25cm of snow here last night you load of fannies.

That's one hell of a party.

 

[york away to this!]

Whilst the storm was pretty bad down here on the kent coast I was surprised it was a red warning to life.
Yes it made sence to stay inside.
Yes some trees have come down.
Yes someone's gable wall fell down
Yes a few shop signs blow around.

I get the stay in side that was sensible advice. Just abit bit surprised its was a red warning than again my hanging bird table did fall off !

I am sure storms of 70mph winds are not that uncommon. Better to be safe than sorry

Your bird's not that bad...

 

[give it to gordon]

We have large areas without power still would that mean a reduced electric flow to us ?

We cant run a Hoover without tripping out same goes with tumble dryer etc. We only have a fridge and fridge/freezer and washing machine running anything else and it trips some of the fuses.

The sheep are bracing themselves as we speak.

Those Herdwick sheep in the fells will soon see him off;)

Is Storm Franklin all over the news today?

Far worse than Eunice up here, but little mention of it.

Ah ok, so these high winds and torrential rain aren’t a storm?

Better tell the residents of Didsbury that as they take their belongings upstairs.

Crackers. It’ll be a nicer day tomorrow than today.

Yellow warning here , better than red that we did have that did the damage but it is a proper storm still
