Just had a peak into to the farmers field at the end of our lane, i don't think 2 out of the 3 power lines should be laid on the floor, i am no expert but i think they should be attached to the pole above

2 power lines are laid on the floor at the top of the village in a farmers field, explains our lack of electricity

Elec went off at 20.50, can just get 4g in the kitchen lol, overhead power lines on the Wolds are always susceptible to this kind of storm, oh well fed and watered with log burner lit, so just gotta sit it out

Power came back on and then off again! House alarms are the back drop to the howling wind.

A lot calmer now. Occasional gust's but not as bad as before. Hope this stay's the same.
I am about 10 miles from you on the Yorkshire Wolds and it is nasty out at the moment, sideways rain and tree bending gusts and its only early,

In my humble opinion, informing peeps of possibly incoming, damaging weather allows them to make an informed choice. NOT telling them takes away that ability to make an informed choice. If they inform, then it is your choice whether to take note or ignore it. If they don't inform then they have made the choice to ignore it for you. Which one is the nanny state? Weather warnings are dependent on probabilities. They don't dictate what weather you are 100% going to get. I don't begrudge a weather warning which alerts peeps to possible damaging weather just because the edge of the warning area was out by a few miles or because some in a more sheltered position didn't get it so bad. To repeat, it's all about allowing peeps to make an informed choice... operative word being informed.
Exactly this, just spoke to a mate and he's taken heed because of the warning and is busy securing things and moving what he can inside on his farm which is exposed on top of a hill, he said better to be safe than sorry

To the area effected which is more sign posted by warnings. Also if a storm is named by other countries we often use the name, even though it's not effecting us.
Which is kinda the point

Need to not just pay attention to the names but also where the actual warnings are. A named storm for Scotland is gonna be crap in London, a named storm the forecast to miss London to the south with the main winds, will be crap in London.
Isn't the point of naming them too draw attention?

As forcast a mild evening, in contrast to the previous week which makes it more noticeable. Ruddy breezy out, feels like the warm up act for tomorrow night's main event, looking at the latest charts it going to be a rough ride tomorrow night...

And their snipers in this one have run out of targets.
That made me chuckle, so true.... hindsight makes everyone look a smart-'arris.

Can’t believe you chose that way! The road that space, time & weather forgot? It never thaws once it’s on that road! You just like the challenge
Just makes the 'same old' drive to work a bit more interesting

Navigated the first hill out of the village with a bit of a run up...
The second little hill up to the 'main' road, no run up, so crawled up that

Heavy snow at the moment, about an inch deep, steady ride to work ahead
