I do wish our stubborn HP would finally bugger off.: another ten days of the current sheet is really too much to handle!  

Too hot to handle, too cold to hold.

As long as I’m back from my meeting near Ely tomorrow afternoon, it can do what it likes.

You started it with your 10 day thingy. 

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

-8 when I left home this morning, and it's stupidly dangerous here at work in Gerrards Cross, as it looks like there's naff all gritting. Carriageways like ice-rinks.

But my favourite character is windy Miller..what a bloke ..even as kid I loved him ,1.. he had a dirty great windmill (which to this day i love ) he made his own cider and when calm he sang a song and whistled for the wind , all in all run of the mill

And was as jaffa cakesed as a fart and spent most of his time sleeping it off.

Merry Christmas one and all.

Eat and be merry.

I hope the Yuletide log doesn’t slip off your fire, and burn your house down.

Peace to you all.

Torrential rain as I drove through the Hatfield tunnel this morning, and amazing lightening.

Arrived in Gerrards Cross, and mizzling.....

[Major Hurricane Ian.]

Also the amount of Emergency messages you get out here on your phone, even through our TV are insane.

Scares the bejesus out of you first time you get one, but a great system.

[Major Hurricane Ian.]

What an insane 10 hours or so.

We’re in a Villa in Davenport which is near Kissimmee.

Started getting extremely wet and windy from 7.30pm last night, and is still going, at 8am this morning.

Incredibly glad that I’ve experienced a hurricane (cat 2), but wouldn’t wish it on anyone. No let up in storm force winds in the duration, and the rain, never seen the amount fall in 24 hours.

Also sounded at times like a tornado was outside, just an absolute brutal experience. 

Luckily the electric and villa is in one piece.

Flight home tomorrow is cancelled, but being rescheduled for Saturday or Sunday.

Glad that’s over.

 

[Major Hurricane Ian.]

I’ll let you all know how it goes, in Davenport, Polk County, due to fly home Friday.

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

No thunder, but has been tipping it down since 06.30

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

One 5 minute downpour in Gerrards Cross, all day.
