Help ! When are we due a break from this rain ? My fields are flooded and my horse is in danger of getting trench foot lol , seriously getting hard work now removing mud from a stroppy horse who can't find any grass to eat !

Home at last , it's days like this that I have to remind myself why I have horses ! Fields and ménage totally flooded as is the lane to the yard. ☔☔ðŸŠðŸš£

Why thank you Mr P 😃, 36mph gusts here .

Does anyone in stevenage know the wind speed? It's howling down my chimney all of a sudden !

Thanks , mine is reading 1.7 too , just wanted to check it was reading ok 😃

What's yours reading now milly ?

Currently 7c here , the calm before the storm ? I hope so ! Off to ride my horse while the weather permits 😃

Raining here in stevenage , washing all the remaining snow away and it's the warmest it's been all day . Nice blank canvas for the next snow fall 😉

I was thinking this too , I'm worried about how the country will cope if this is to come off ! I work in the community and we have had problems getting meals and carers out to vulnerable people when we've had just a couple of inches of snow .
