  1. I just went to Sky News and on the right and advert for wellington boots appeared, clever these folk.
  2. Good evening everyone, I have had a break from posting for about a week and still the rain appears to want to fall from the sky, although today has not been too bad apart from the wind now increasing. I loved the posting from Tamara about last years snow in March, as that bought back memories of when my father was in hospital for a serious operation and had his bed on the fifth floor of Bedford hospital. It was so cold up there due to the wind we had to take him extra blankets and cover the window early in the evenings whilst watching the snow float past the window. Well back to the current weather and it's 7.4c with a very gusty wind although I am sure it will move up a few notches later this evening. I just hope we have a break from the rain as I notice the River Ouse from the EA web site has filled up the wetlands designed for flooding, therefore anymore rain will go straight in to the river. a lot of work has been done since the Easter floods of 98, however with the increased building of homes on the fields used for flood near the river I can see one day a major flooding event happening in Bedford, St Neots and Huntingdon.

  3. Paul, I think you have proved the point that this group needs very little moderation when you consider other threads on the forum and what has upset me today is the way everyone seems to be painted with the same brush. If I was in the office I would call the person or persons causing the problem to one side and have a quiet word and hence my point earlier that the PM system should be used or the points warning system. So where do we draw the line about where they aren't strictly weather related as we seem to be getting mixed messages. I really don't want to post in the Lounge area or the chat room with people from all over the country, maybe we need to consider a lounge area for just this region? There are some very good and considerate people in this thread which should be carefully considered when moderators drop in to give us their wise words. Chris
  4. Maybe it would be easier if when this happens a quick PM is sent to the people responsible, a similiar thing should have happend a week ago. I think we are all grown up people in this area and sometimes it does feel like being at school. Sorry Ali, not in a good mood this morning.
  5. Maybe there are like buses and will all turn up at once, although around here they are probably like winter turn up late and half empty
  6. If that freezer is coming in a van from an easterly direction, it could possibly arrive next winter
  7. With everyone having the lurgy I have just made sure that my computer virus checker is up-to-date On a serious note the Snow Board of the Snow Depth Cup meet yesterday to discuss trading. The directors were all present, Sir Thomas of Croydon, Junior Apprentice Chris and our top legal advisor Mr AS of the south (no job too big unless it's cutting the grass on a Sunday). The auditors 'Rain Bucket and Storm' advised that they had no reason for us to call in the receivers 'Weather from the West incorporating Jet Stream PV' as based on having no snow stock this year to melt there is no chance of any liquidation. i would get my coat however I have put it away due to the mild weather Sun is out here and reading 8.7c with the wind moving the trees.
  8. John, Don't like the look of that one and hopefully it adjusts south otherwise I can see a lot of disruption with that low especially as it's during the working day.
  9. I must admit that this is a very interesting site, such a shame we don't have any cameras over this side of the country. http://www.farsondigitalwatercams.com/ Some of the river levels are amazing, I keep looking at this camera and don't think many people will be using the locks for a few days http://www.farsondigitalwatercams.com/live-webcams/central/Severn/Diglis-Lock/
  10. If people move signs then they should be made to pay for the cost of all those involved in rescuing them from the water as there were there for a reason.
  11. Think everyone is starting to posting in the wrong thread, I need to close at 7.10pm to get down the MK snow dome for a fix of winter
  12. Out of our area but if you want to see the river levels on the River Seven, this is a very good sight. http://www.farsondigitalwatercams.com/live-webcams/central/Severn/Bewdley
  13. We would need to send one our an inspector around, he can come a week Thursday as he is in the USA at the moment, is that OK
  14. just trying to work out which town that was, they seem to have cleared the paths better than the road although I suppose when that picture was taken the paths were used more than the roads.
  15. Thanks Tamara, I was looking at the sledge in the shed last weekend and it bought back memories of last year, suppose there is always next year I wonder if we could allocate everyone an enviorment agency guage on a certain river and replace that with snow depth, although I think we would need to handicap a few people who get certain rivers.
