Just heading over to stalybridge one of our house’s chimneys collapsed 🙈🙈 tenants were moving in today 🙈🙈

I'm assuming you have special access as Huddersfield Road is closed.

Looks like the tall roof aerial acted as a lever to give it extra side force.

On a less severe note, my garden has become more of a pond.

Vortices induced vibrations on pole probably vibrated chimney to pieces

Dry and a bit brighter here now but no doubt we’re between showers and it won’t be long before they’re back again.

The rain train just keeps on coming. Yesterday's rain took us over 1600mm for the year. That's 300 to 400mm above an average year. We're also sat on just over 230mm for December, and if the rest of the month pans out as forecast, then that'll get above 250mm and be the wettest month of the year. With its constant low light and the inability for surfaces to dry out, December is a poor month to have so much rain. 28 days in and only 3 dry days. Grim. 

It has turned into a less wetter version of the likes of 2013 and 2015, albeit with the snowy start. I didn't expect it to deteriorate into this mild wet fest, we weren't far off an interesting cold vs mild last third of the month but alas the jet has stayed to the north and made us a magnet for low after low. Yet another on the way for 30th-31st, and a slow moving one still in place for early 2024.

Ive noticed lots of green shoots appearing, snowdrops will be early this year, there is cherry blossom out..

A resume of today, not bad at all, at least by recent week's standards.. showery but decent lengthy dry periods and bursts of brightness, yesterday was a shocker, but at least we have had one good day this week and a half decent one today. Tomorrow likely to be similiar today, but the weekend is looking very poor.

I don't like summarising the day at 3.40pm but alas that is the way it is at this dark time of year.

No doubt the cold frosty wintry weather will arrive after the christmas trees are down. It is all reminding me of 2012-13..

Some hefty showers this morning through to early afternoon, cleared through to leave some dry bright weather to end the afternoon.

Quite eventful for some last night, thankful I've not read/heard of any injuries.  Sorry though for those with damaged property, @WillinGlossop hope the roofer made things safe for now and you managed to get back home.  Possibly another storm on the way for Saturday?  May be called Henk?  No warning yet.  More rain no doubt to add to the 2023 total before the year is out.

Wet first half of day, drier pm with some brightness and nudged 10° C.
