So have had a really really busy weekend have not really been on much..

 

Fridays storm left us without power from 1am Saturday morning till about 2pm Saturday.. I know not to bad but caused a few headaches with my sisters party starting at 4...

 

There was a total of 8 power lines down in the village I live in and a huge old oak fell on the power lines down the road by the sub station. 2 trees fell at the back of my house and lost some tiles. Now im not sure if I caught a be of a rouge "gust" but it smashed the last 2 wind storms we have had .

 

As for the water well the pump managed to pump it out to around the bottom of the garden we built a line of sand bags across it and then the pump was taken away (was on hire) now the water has risen and is to the top of the sand bags.

 

North surrey really has taken the brunt of storms it feels like Posted Image

The Parks Trust

The big clear up is well under way after the weekend's storms

 

post-10773-0-90433100-1392639486_thumb.j

 

Rob Riekie, Head of Operations at The Parks Trust, said:  “We’re still assessing the situation but early indications show that our parks haven’t had this amount of storm-related damage for about 10 years.  Our Direct Works team has worked hard over the weekend and will continue the clear up this week.†

The Trust has put the damaged trees into two categories.  Category one will be treated as a priority and these trees have been assessed to be in a dangerous situation, for example, blocking a footpath or perilously close to properties.  Category two applies to trees that have fallen down in grassed areas or within a plantation but are not causing immediate concern. 

The damage is spread across the Trust’s 5,000 acres of parks but has mostly affected trees grown in more open areas such as river and brook valleys.  The Poplar plantation and Middleton areas of the OuzelValleyPark have experienced losses with six or seven trees having their root plates completely forced out of the ground. At the MK Rose in CampbellPark the newly planted hedge had several sections blown over. 

Teams are also doing a sweep of the canal broadwalk from the north to the south of the city to remove any debris. 

Rob added:  “We’re very grateful to the public who have reported damage to us.  If you see any trees that are down it would be really helpful to give us the precise location and perhaps a photo.

Looks like a bit of everything, JennyJane, but all on quite a muted scale. Some breezier days, a bit of rain, the odd sighting of the strange yellow ball in the sky, but nothing like we've been having. Which is a major relief to all, I'm sure.

Afternoon all

 

Remained a dull day here, only a few short light showers for a change and that wind is a lot calmer than of late, if I have to forego sun for calm and dry for a while I will take it.

 

For some reason today seemed to last twice as long as normal, glad to be back home now (pesky excel crashed 3 times trying to compile a large report, so still have that joy to come for the morning).

Afternoon All,

 

I hope we all had lovely weekends and made the most of the lovely sunny day yesterday.  I'm currently enjoying a couple of days off work - going back on Wednesday is going to be a killer!

 

Today as been pretty good all in all weather wise - it's been dry at least and as I type the sun has made an appearance Posted Image

Looks like rain in london too, we might be getting a break from the wind this week but not the rain. The flooded areas need at least a month of dry weather to improve and according to the latest weather models, we are stuck in a rut for the rest of February, although with more breaks between the storms. High pressure in the Pacific to blame, it has been stuck there all winter.

Hi all funny old day, had a tad of brightness earlier but didn't last too long,

Saw some interesting bent trees on walk to station this morning. And lots of branches and bark stripped off trunks!! Odd!!

Don't laugh, but a 5' shark (a real live one) was seen in the River Stour in Essex last summer.

What has happened to the comment panel? It's pale grey Courier and I can hardly see what I'm typing. Annoying.

If you click the little switch top left of the editor (should be the only button which is working), it should re-activate the buttons and get everything back to normal !
