Weather

[carolyorkie2010]

Thank you to the weather forecaster who said this area was going to have the best day of the weekend, with sunshine today ! So what have we got? Yet more rain and a load of washing to get dry! It hasn't even got daylight yet. Now, on the other hand if all this rain we are getting was SNOW, just think how lovely and deep and picturesque it would be.........Instead of that we have muddy, soggy fields to walk and slide about in when dog-walking. What weather are the rest of you having?

We live in a bungalow as well.  I don't blame you in not going out again though.  It is absolutely disgustingly bad.  At least things can't only get better.

Still very,very stormy. Husband on the rail replacement(coaches) for the west coast line, Preston/Carlisle, he had to go in at 5pm and officially finishes at 1 am, i just hope he is safe on the M6/A6. It is really stormy out there

My grandson is flying to Germany on a school trip in the early hours. It's going to be bumpy!

It seems a lot quieter here at the moment.  I meant to put on my last post on this thread that things can only get better.  I think that my head was somewhat addled.

We ended up with 2 ridge tiles blown off. Now trying to get hold of a roofer, but it is easier said than done! A few properties on this street have got the same damage. At least it keep the roofers in work

Carol, hope everythig is ok with your roof, Hope I find everyone safe and well this morning.  Wind dropped about 9 last night and we had snow, it didn't settle though thank goodness, it is cold here this morning and very wet.  I had a lovely time at skittles, and stayed later than normal because I didn't have to get up for work this morning. When the sleet stops I am going to go out and pick a few things up in the garden and put them in a sheltered spot, to stop any thing else getting damaged, Will send out a search party (spaniel) for the duck when it gets lighter, if it is out there, Poppy will find it.

I hope duck is reunited with his little friends. Not a bad morning here so far. The winda has dropped but it's very grey & rather chilly.

Blue sky,brilliant sunshine but bitterly cold here....

All sorts of detritus in the garden,I had to fish a dustbin lid out of the pond this morning...

[chickengrandma-2008]

Not too bad here.  Not exactly sunshine but not grey and dull either.  Hardly any wind and no rain.  I've only been out to the bin so far this morning but it didn't strike me as particularly cold.

Absolutely bloomin gorgeous here, very cold but lovely bright sunshine!

[ed_blackadder_1]

Sunshine and heavy showers, mix of rain and hailstones, had a snow shower earlier, brr cold too  4 degrees, thankfully the wind has dropped and we just have a breeze.  just finished dusting as when the sun came out, it showed all the dust on my tv and window sill.  Everything clean and tidy now, so I can have some me time.

[saasher2012]

Dusting ed! What about that poor little duck lost & alone ,in danger, crying out to be rescued & reunited with the rest of his pals. Sob!
Are you welling up yet? lol. Sam.

[rose2008-2008]

Raining somewhat early this morning,,now mixture of Blue Sky and Clouds!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Sam we have scoured the area Poppy and I and done a finger tip search and the duck is no where to be seen,

 This his brother and sister still swimming in the pond.  I will have another look when the rain has stopped, I don't think he has gone far, probably hiding somewhere out of the weather

[saasher2012]

You don't think oh has added him to his game bag do ya! Cancel that romantic dinner for two!! lol. Sam.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Nope he says he hasn't seen it, (that's men all over though)  and he has gone out working today , maybe he is going to sell it.

    I did find another one hiding under my fallen conifer

[saasher2012]

Oh no! Will it replant?

[petitecalicocat]

Well after all the hail , wind & rain its really sunny here now .

Luckily we're okay, as we're on higher ground, but all around us is chaos (River Thames). Mr Pix and son are out fixing people's TV aerials and satellites which have blown down and are flapping around in the wind - worrying, as it is dangerous work. I wouldn't fancy clinging to a chimney pot in this weather!

Unfortunately there also seems to be some looting going on too - how horrible for scumbags to do such a thing, when people are already going through the trauma of losing most of their possessions, vacating their homes and dealing with the disgusting mess left by the flood water and sewage. It's at times like this I really hope there is such a thing as karma - fingers crossed those horrible people will get their come-uppance one day.

It's so sad to see people sploshing around in the water trying to rescue possessions and pets, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight any time soon.
