Hay...

Listening to the wind just starting to pick up here in Suffolk.

Is it bad where you are?

We have 50-60mph winds for the next two days. It's pretty wild out there; my walk to the station was exhilarating!

I think DH is driving the kids to school instead of walking, mainly to keep them safe from flying debris.

happymummy12345 · 10/02/2020 10:31

Still very windy in Liverpool, no rain though. Dh is on the evening shift at work for the next few day's. He won't be done until around 10, home by 10.30- 10.45 latest hopefully. Not 100% happy about him going to and from work on his bike.

Strong winds in Northumberland. Outside furniture tucked away just to be safe.....

CountryGirl1234 · 10/02/2020 18:42

Yes we’re tree surgeons and operate in a huge area midlands to south and were flat out!

Very rainy and windy here in herts.

Jdcnky12 · 10/02/2020 18:43

It has been very wild and windy today here in F ife. Strong wind blowing the falling snow around and then sleet falling on the slushy ground which was soaked yesterday with heavy rain. Best to stay indoors if at all possible.

purplebunny2012 · 10/02/2020 19:04

We lost our power yesterday morning for about 3.5 hours

Aprilsinparis · 10/02/2020 19:14

Anyone had a good fall of snow yet? Next to nothing in Staffordshire.

Deelish75 · 10/02/2020 19:15

We (in Kent) had flickering lights yesterday afternoon but we never lost power. Today has been quite blowy but not as bad as yesterday and it’s just been hailstoning. Tomorrow is still supposed to be quite blowy but it is definitely calming down now.

Bubblemonkey · 10/02/2020 19:15

It’s fucking freezing in West Yorks

SunshineCake · 10/02/2020 19:40

Where in Kent Deelish? I've got friends and they haven't said.

Merryweather80 · 10/02/2020 19:43

Worcestershire here. It’s been awful for three nights. My garden has lots of bits and pieces in in that don’t belong to me and things that did are no where to be seen. There’s power lines down, flooding and the wind and rain continues.
The roof is clattering, windows rattling.
Emergency services are up and down the main road sirens on pretty much constantly.
Night four and I’ve no udea how the kids sleep through it.
The cat is miffed, going from front door to back door to check the weather, paws crossed. Why do they think the weather will be different between the front and back and why keep running past a perfectly clean litter box to do so!

Barney60 · 10/02/2020 19:49

Im in west Mids, nothing much here or forecast, think we had worst last night and this morning, kept me awake, tree in my neighbours garden gone over, had weird weather today, horizontal rain, sun ,rumbling thunder, then heavy snow then sunshine again. just googled winds up to 20 MPH forecast in part but thats nothing to what weve had, think / hope worst past. stay safe those going through it, drive safe on main roads keep away from country lanes as much as poss in case trees go down.

Jarbie · 10/02/2020 20:16

We're in West Yorkshire our little town was cut in two yesterday river flooded so couldn't get over the bridge. DH was called into work on the reservoir lunchtime to clear runoffs so they could release some water, as it was nearly full. Today has been wind, hail, sun, hail, wind now gusty, river still very high but not cut off anymore.

Teddybear27 · 10/02/2020 20:21

Near Brighton, has been very windy here since Saturday evening and still windy now on Monday evening...

JustMyName · 10/02/2020 20:43

No snow on the east Yorkshire coast, it's breezy, but not as windy as it was and it's dry, altho it rained this afternoon.

billsmothers · 10/02/2020 20:44

Waves at @Merryweather80 Have you had the snow tonight?

JoyceDivision · 10/02/2020 20:45

West. Yorkshire, breezy, raining on and off.... Bloody cold still!

Went out to keep.up to C25k when I thought rain had stopped and for caught in hail Shock

SirVixofVixHall · 10/02/2020 20:51

Very windy again tonight here. The poor birds !

CurlsandCurves · 10/02/2020 20:56

Had to collect my parents from a train station 1.5 hours drive away last night because the overhead lines were down. They were stranded on a train for about 5 hours before evacuation. And then got to the nearest station and told that’s it there’s nothing more we can do. Which is understandable because all the network has been relying on replacement bus services.

And today we got a shedload of snow dumped on us here in Derbyshire.

Mary54 · 10/02/2020 20:56

Here in Bayern, it’s called Sabine. It has completely trashed my greenhouse

NarwhalsNarwhals · 10/02/2020 22:00

Can someone send me some snow please? Maybe a couple of fallen trees? I don't fancy work tomorrow.

LoveMySituation · 10/02/2020 22:14

Winds getting up again here in Shropshire. Freezing cold too. Had all kinds of weather today and now I'm wondering if I'll be able to sleep..

doublebarrellednurse · 10/02/2020 22:21
