wednesday

 

 

going to hold this one for now

 

watching that low to our west to see where it goes

 

there could be some very strong winds if that moves further west

so watch for strong winds and rain tomorrow

 

then watch for flooding being a real issue by tuesday and wednesday will be a nightmare

Thanks John, i have a feeling that come late January you will be feed up repeating the words "winds from an easterly direction and will it ever change"

[john pike]

hi chris

 

it would be tough

 

but i think i can handle that

[Eskimo]

Southernman says its very very cold at Reedham.

 

Sad about news of Schumacher which really isn't looking good now.

I heard he hasn't got life threatening injuries. 

Temperature rising rapidly (yay....) here, 1.9C just half hour ago, now 3.4C. 

[Biggin]

Er has the wind been cancelled tonight ??

[JennyJane1]

I heard he hasn't got life threatening injuries. 

 

Its been udated, his condition is critical now.

[Croydondazz]

So that's the weather forecast sorted

[Keraunic]

Brrrrr!! Just been over to the shop and it's freeeeeeezing out there. Very slippery underfoot as well in the less sheltered areas. Plus....there's a breeze picking up. Start of things, perhaps? :O

[loopydreamer]

Its been udated, his condition is critical now.

Yes.. we are watching the news now. He's now in critical condition ...

[john pike]

 

 

strewth

 

[Crepuscular Ray]

He's been operated on, so they're probably going to keep him in an induced coma for some time in order to prevent further damage.

 

Is that looking as if it might cause higher wind speeds than the storm just before Christmas JP?

[alexisj9]

Wind is picking up here already.

[JennyJane1]

Southernman has come home and said there are some frosty areas around and he slid the car on one but is ok,

 

I have been talking to friends in London, they are becoming worried at the forecast for New Year's Eve or Day, they said they saw the forecast on one of the news channels, so I'm not sure which they were watching.

 

waiting for tomorrow's storm first.

[john pike]

Guys check sat24..

The back edge to the front is so defined.. It looks wicked..

[tadpole]

Had enough of this windy weather. So far have had to have the roof repaired twice, 2 fence panels and 3 posts re done, remove a small tree that came down from elderly neighbours garden into ours. Hubby has refused to repair the other side fence panels that went with the last wind until this current windy period passes and the lawn has become a bog garden.

 

I'm now ready to skip snow and move straight to some warm sunny days please

will do

[alexisj9]

Hopefully the nae and euro4 18z models are wrong, the little kink in the iso bars causing tonight's storm is a full low in them from about 6am. Just off the coast of Wales/Cornwall.
