The Dogmother Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Here, even when it is cold, we can run to the car near the door, wearing a T Shirt - over there it took 5 minutes getting properly dressed, gloves on, coat zips done right up to the top, before you even dared open the door and by that time you needed the loo! +6 -ish here, very dull and grey, looks like it will rain.

Olly Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Torrential rain at 7.30 just as I was about to go up the garden! Now dry, clear skies and mild, 9 degrees last time I looked. I've got a guy coming to quote for new fencing this morning, thought I'd better get my order in before the high winds start and everyone wants their fences replaced!

Valkyrie Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Got the girls out as usual first thing in wind and rain. Then I did something I haven't done for years - went back to bed for a lie-in. OH not around to disturb me and the teens are in bed till late afternoon, so a bit shocked when the doorbell rang (Postie) and I saw the time - 11.30! Postie apologised for getting me up, but squinting at the bright sunlight I thanked him because I hadn't intended that to happen! Shameful. Chores nearly done, girls in dustbath for the last hour and a quarter and all I need to do is race to get the cube cleaned while it is still nice outside.

BeckyBoo Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Really windy here too, we had sun during the day but it was bloomin' cold in the wind. Torrential overnight too, we must have had a squall as it woke me up at just before 6 and according to other people I spoke to it woke them up too! Batton down those hatches I reckon, I'm supposed to be turning my mountainous compost heap tomorrow - at least THAT will be warm BeckyBoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 It has been a lovely day here...cleaned the hens out and had to take my fleece off, it was so warm. Very windy again.

Valkyrie Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Just come back off the M3 - there was an announcement that the weather was windy on the motorway sign! I had to wrestle with the steering all the way. Then going along I was caught in cross winds because the leaves were blowing across the road one way, then the opposite and then squirly up in the air and now I will do (with Paola's permission I hope) . . . Weeeeeee heeeeeeee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 very windy and chucking it down here now. It was quite fair earlier, 'Two Sheds' was able to work on the lottie but it's torrential now. This time last year it was the same, planes were being blown off course at Manchester airport (according to my diary). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardene5 Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hi Everyone Here in Preesall near Blackpool we started Saturday sunny and nice but the weather then changed for the worst. We have had very heavy rain and strong winds and the forecast is for it to become stormy with gale force winds. How has the weather been with you wherever you live?
