[Ghost of winters past]

Grey and chilly out...

News just in..(nothing weather related) Antibiotics can now be recieved over the counter from your local chemist with-out consent from your doctor and no script needed. Thats gunna make a huge difference to millions of people and staff with regards to doctor apointments.

Goodshow i say.

[Had Worse]

 Ghost of winters past  so here's the confusing bit.

it has been said that antibiotics should only be used as a last resort due to the modern bacterial infections that become resistant. You also need to know if your allergic to penicillin like my dad otherwise you would go into anaphylaxis.

[Ghost of winters past]

 Had Worse Yes indeed you are correct, caution is needed.

[Rain Lady]

Rain lashing on windows  Temp still up.  8C.

[Day 10]

Really interesting period could be on the horizon, still looking 6/7th Feb.

Lows swinging in off the Atlantic into fairly cold air pushing down from the north, looks a fascinating setup.

[Chris.R]

I don't like that antibiotics thing... Just means loads of people will take it when they don't need it and more people will be immune to it. In principle it's great though.

anyway, raining again, there's a surprise.

An orange line of Saharan dust on my step and window ledge before I wiped it off.  Wind has picked up and is very cold, rain about to hit Macc.

Heavy rain here last hour, horrible.

[Chris.R]

 Day 10 Now that's more like it.

[Had Worse]

 Chris.R all we need now is to count down to T+0 and hope for upgrades. 

What can possibly go wrong. ?

[Chris.R]

 Had Worse indeed

[Rain Lady]

[A Face like Thunder]

Dark and dismal all day and forecast rain has just arrived, with wind becoming very gusty. Not a night to go out which unfortunately I have to do when the conditions are likely to be at their worst.  

[Scuba steve]

Torrential rain now, it’s awful out there

[Had Worse]

 Meanwhile in Norway, Bullies special prize. Here's what you could have won.

Chucking it down 

[Had Worse]

 itsnowjoke More like chucking it sideways.

The rain is like a power washer on the side of the house.

[Joe Snow]

Disgusting evening, heading across East Cheshire  back from Macclesfield heavy driving rain and a cold feeling gusty wind, quite a bit of surface flooding too ️  

[Had Worse]

 Joe Snow Alluding to my post about the Norway blizzard.

Can anyone remember the last time a cold front came down and turned to snow with white out conditions and lightning? 

Nasty tonight but its wet rather than white one it passes.

[Rush2019]

 Had Worse wow, listen to the wind howling on this web cam @Had Worse posted,  would certainly spook me.
