Locking Bar Eglu Classic

[The Dogmother]

Very windy yesterday - rather like walking in a washing machine!

 

Milder and less wet today (12deg at 7am) but getting windier again.

[The Dogmother]

22deg here this afternoon and the sun finally came through after a morning of gloom. Still really warm and muggy

Vile here today. Extremely windy, heavy rain and cold. It has rained every day for 5 days, every where is sodden.

Wild Geese flying South, 4 days earlier than last year.

[Egluntyne]

Lovely here this aft, after a hideous morning.

Just out of interest ... what made you remember that?

[The Dogmother]

Mild here all day, sunny in parts and quite a relief after the gales.

 

The starlings and swallows here have been gathering on wires and TV aerials for some time now - making their holiday noises.

I just remembered I mentioned it last year in the weather thread topic. I checked to see what date it was

[LolaLayla]

I had hoped that we were in for a dry day this morning but it has rained and rained and rained this afternoon...the really heavy sort

[The Dogmother]

It's been lovely here; varying degrees of cloud but mainly nice and mild.

[LolaLayla]

I know we have been discussing weather on the Indian Summer thread but reckon that is past. I feel I only chat about one thing on any weather topic...rain...and guess what, we have rain lashing down at present and gusty wind. I was struggling to get along the road by the front this morning I hope to go out to Pilates later but wonder if I will get the car door open without it blowing out my hands as where I park is quite exposed

[The Dogmother]

Mild here again - 18deg at the moment, we had a little rain overnight but it's very windy with the tail-end of that hurricane.

[chickencam]

Very windy here too, it has been overcast for much of the day, but the sun is coming through at the moment. I have just put some washing out and I am hoping that it will still be on the line when I get back from shopping.

Oooh sun. What is that Actually we saw it for about 2 mins yesterday The rain is so heavy I can hardly hear myself think (probably for the best ) It is really depressing The grass is incredibly green though

[The Dogmother]

Do send it down here - we're parched.... not wanting to rub it in

[Egluntyne]

It is a lovely autumnal day here. A crisp start, but really pleasant.

Just checked, apparently 13 mm in last 24 hours (most of that in last 3 hours I reckon) It seems to have stopped now. I will have to quickly see to the animals before it starts again......I would send it anywhere if I could...maybe Room 101 but that's another thread

[chickencam]

We have fine drizzle now and it is quite dark

[The Dogmother]

Nowt here yet.. I quite fancy some rain

[Egluntyne]

It has been pouring with rain, black as night and howling a gale here, so I lit a fire. Guess what? All is peaceful and the sun is shining from a clear blue sky.

[The Dogmother]

It's been a bit like that here too Egluntyne. I decided at lunchtime that it was blowing more than wet so I put the washing out - let's hope it's not been blown down the street!

[Willow]

Beautiful but windy this morning - lovely view of sun shining off the river when I went rowing but just had a downpour and the house is freezing. If my new bath wasn't in front of the wood burner I'd go light a fire

[chickencam]

We had heavy rain last night and a real change in the weather today, it has been bright for most of the day with some very heavy threatening clouds and a strong really chilly wind, then we had a heavy hail storm for about 5 minutes this afternoon.

[Purplemaniacs]

It is pouring here and the wind is whistling.

 

Feels quite wintery

[The Dogmother]

Only a light shower in the night judging by the dry roads. It's been mostly dry today, the odd shower but very windy. The temp has plummeted this evening (now just 6deg) it's howling a gale and lashing with rain... winter I guess

[chickencam]

It has been warmer here today after a cold start, I went for a walk at lunchtime and got quite warm, but it is now dark and raining, just in time for mums to collect from school. The only bad weather we had yesterday was at the same time, I am so glad that mine are all big enough to make their own way home now.

[The Dogmother]

It's been cool (11deg) and windy here all day with the odd heavy shower, about an hour ago we had the hardest shower I've seen in ages - 'American rain' I call it as it's the sort of monsoon type of stuff that you see in US movies but rarely in real life.
