Got up this morning to find my plastics bin had travelled all round the back garden, spent 10 mins picking it all up, not the best start to the day as the house is having a survey today pending our sale.

That's because you are in the back of beyond!! Still blowing a hooley here in Eccles.






When I was a kid our coalman (ask your Mum or Dad or even your grandparents!) was called Hooley!! Just to make you smile on a tough morning. :-)

I remember the coalman!!

And rag and bone

Horrendous round here still too, winds are far worse than they’ve been last few days.

As has been said though, as it’s not in London now then no one gives a fuck.

Gosh!! The River Mersey looks high stay safe in Wythenshawe, it used to flood the golf links in Northenden but I think they built the side banks up

This was Wythenshawe Park this morning



It’s about a mile or so from the Mersey but I don’t know if Baguley Brook burst it’s banks or not?

They say there has been 3 storms in one week so
A) Why dont they call it one big storm and stop being girly about it and
B) When does one storm finish and the other begin.

I'm curious.

They are three separate low pressure systems coming one after the other.
Used to be just called weather years ago. Now everything has a name.

I think they had names in the past, but they would be called Storm 2/22aii or something.

Amazing how quickly the wind has dropped here now. I'm looking out of my window and the trees are barely even moving.
Barely a cloud in the sky either. Looks a lovely sunny day out there now!

 

[flook]

first two, hyped all over the media, were little more than a stiff breeze here, third one, treated as an afterthought by them, was a proper hoolie. Does this class as a southern weather bias conspiracy theory?

Geraldine is next.
Doesn’t sound that threatening.

Looks like we’re over the worst of it. The wind should start dying down properly around 2pm.

Yes because of science and archiving of weather data. Really isn't a big deal.
