Storm Dudley/Eunice/Franklin

[Sir peace frog]

Strongest winds for the NW will be tomorrow between 10am - 5pm. 65-75mph gusts.

Smashing I'll be outside working at the airport between 9am and 8pm, we have a runway larger than most and tend to get the diverts from other airports, could be a very busy day or a very quiet day depending which way the wind blows :) , :(

Milk floats? same

Helped out on a milk round as a kid. Draughty little cab with folding doors. It'd be a right pig to drive in this weather.

Probably using Rw24 tomorrow at MAN as its blowing SSW in the morning. Heavy Westerly crosswind in the afternoon though...

Who knows Eunice may even reach storm force winds? ! Lol. If it does it will be the first in England since the Met Office starting naming gales and severe gales as storms for dramatic effect and dumbing down our weather.

Still these weather warnings and named 'storms' give all the Local Authorities a better excuse to close everything in anticipation of the impending doomsday scenario. Back in the day we used to call it winter and just got on with it.

I'm going to stick to the tried and tested method. Look out the window tomorrow and see if the weather looks shit. If it does, then stay in unless I really need to go out, if not go about my day as usual.
Why the fuck the media feels the need to make out we are about to re-enact the first part of the Wizard of Oz I don't know. If any of you have a dog called toto keep him indoors and if your house does blow away make sure it doesn't land on a witch.

As some of you seem to know a bit about aviation - in that EE ad where they land a plane - ie talked it down the pilots were still in control - they refer to the plane being "heavy" - what does that mean? Is it carrying a lot of fuel still? Has it got a large number of passengers or cargo?

The word "heavy" means a larger aircraft type, with a Maximum Takeoff Weight of 160 tonnes or more. These aircraft create wake turbulence from their wings and require extra separation between following aircraft, and the use of "heavy" reminds other pilots of that fact.

well thats fucking shit

Cuckavalda Gundogs say the animals were electrocuted when the line fell on to a kennel.

Power steering playing up. I had a ford focus that did the same sometimes. Just had to turn it off and start it again. I imagine planes are the same ;-)

Any talk of the game being off?
I’m driving down from North of Scotland Saturday morning, hopefully not through loads of snow and crazy winds!

Perfect - plane descending to the runway @ 1000 ft - kill all the power then restart it - can't see what could go wrong there lol - would that lead up to what the old RAF types called a pancake landing?

It's coming

Nah. Typical Mancunian weather tomorrow. Light breeze and drizzle at 5pm. Unless there is any structural damage around the stadium today the match will go ahead

Ha ha yes they want to scare everyone to death these days. I have no idea how any of us have lived this long.

Winds will have gone by Saturday morning, Eunice passes over into the North Sea by 17:00 this afternoon.

But there will probably be a lot of snow on the ground from the North of Scotland all the way to Manchester, and it will likely be snowing during the game.
