Going to be reaching highs of 10 degrees tomorrow in the North West.

Barmy.

Do one, wind

Don't make me come out there

Never offer the wind out, Tone. 

Mrs. Spion did just that when we camped in Snowdonia some years back. It didn't end well at all. Our tent was destroyed by over 50mph winds which snapped the poles. I had to bundle everything into the car in the dark then drive back to Liverpool.

Outside christmas lights came off the hook at one corner of the roof and were battering against the bedroom window at 2am

Up the ladders again today to secure them properly. I was leaning backwards when i put them up Sunday as it felt safer resting the ladder against the garage, than resting the ladder on the fascia - today I have to go the fascia route. Can't rest the ladder on the wall anymore as we had it rendered and I do not want to damage that.

[Red Beret]

where the fuck did this storm come from?  Absolutely diabolical outside!

[Son of Spion]

Horrendous weather today, and I've just seen five lightning strikes to the south of us. Lit the sky up lovely.

[Red Beret]

Heard the thunder. Don't think I'll be leaving the house today. Fuck my step counter.

[redbyrdz]

Think I was wrong about the winter storms, there's nother one coming Tuesday/Wednesday.

Yep. Storm Barra, due to arrive Tuesday. 💦🌧️🌪️☔

[Son of Spion]

Look how rooted it was and the size of the earth it took with it.

I saw that today. ☹️

What a fantastic tree it was too.

They've cut it up and left large logs there, so I might have to borrow a wheel barrow to ferry some back home.

If you walk on the path north, down the left-hand side of the cafe there is a massive tree down there too. Hopefully we don't lose any more trees once the next storm hits tomorrow.

Every time I go out it crosses my mind that we haven't spoke much about the number of trees fallen in Liverpool last week, I've never know so many in any of the previous bad storms.

Was it the same all over the country.

According to the BBC, tens of thousands of trees were felled or left in danger of falling by storm Arwen.

I know shortly after the storm the Echo were reporting over 60 trees down in the Liverpool area.

[Sarge]

We are on storm warning here, schools closed tomorrow too. Going to hammer the south West coast and the East is on high alert too.

[Slippers]

65 mph winds and torrential rain here this morning.

You seem to get some horrendous weather mate.

We're in Pembrokeshire,right on the coast.

I can't remember the last time we went a whole twenty four hours without rain.

There's a few places off the beaten track in sefton park where you can see big trees that toppled many years ago, but managed to cling on to life, with branches changing direction and growing upwards. I guess the tap root and a few other major ones were still intact.

Sadly that's just not an option when a fallen tree blocks a pathway.

One of my favourite places. Go every year, sometimes twice. But, when it’s wet. It’s wet.

Oh it is. My Uncle lives in St Davids, I don't think I've ever been when it wasn't raining and we visit twice a year.

[Nobby Reserve]

After another week of unsettled weather (a couple of dry days should happen between wet days), things should begin to settle down from next Thursday as high pressure builds in.

Depending on the positioning and orientation of the high, we will likely be looking at 1-2 weeks of settled weather with some frosts and some fog. Sunshine levels will depend on how much 'anti-cyclonic gloom' is mixed into the high, but it's feasible we could have a few days of cold and low cloud. Typically atmospheric December days!

Tentative signs that there's the possibility of a colder flow of air may develop as we approach Xmas itself - but that's a long way off.

Maybe it's the pandemic combined with the time of year and the miserable weather, but I'm feeling the worst case of cabin fever I've had in ages.  Not sure I felt this way even during lockdown.  I've had it up to fucking here with days of incessant fucking rain.  Feels Like I'm going nuts.

Easy for me to say, but don't let it get to you Paul mate. Think about any positive it gives to nature and the ease it comes out of your tap. Seriously, be pissed off at rain but don't let it get you down.

One of my really good mates said to me a few weeks ago he longs for December 21st when days finally start getting longer. And this mate is a lucky happy fella. But fuck that, it doesn't matter how unhappy you are or wish for a different life, never wish it away.

Stay chilled RB. Hugs.

Not wishing my life away John, just wish I was someplace else with a bit more sun and a bit more blue sky. Doesn't even have to be warm!

Some days even the old SAD light can't plug the gap. I totally relate to your mate, as I'm also counting the days down to Dec 21st!

[John C]

I know, I know what you mean RB. You've a more appreciative and open mind to the seasons than you allow yourself to be though. Haven't you?

[Nobby Reserve]

Your wishes should be granted from about next Thursday/Friday (only potential problem could be lingering fog)

[Red Beret]

Well for myself I've always hated winter. I can deal with being cold, it's the dark that does me in. Incessantly cloudy days, day on day, just grind me down.

Your wishes should be granted from about next Thursday/Friday (only potential problem could be lingering fog)

Here's hoping!

Hoping for a nice weekend, I'm working Saturday and Sunday next week.

It'll be dry.

Too early to say how murky the sky will be, but with wind likely to be from somewhere SW to SE, a decent chance of clear. All depends how far north the migrating high pressure gets by then.

[Slippers]

It's so fucking miserable out there again,I'm sick of mist and rain.

[Nobby Reserve]

Another day or two of unsettled, then it should be dry right up to Xmas (barring a small chance the high pressure that's going to settle over us moves further north in the couple of days before Xmas, allowing cold air to advect westwards over us, likely bringing some wintry showers; but, like I say, only a small chance)

[Nobby Reserve]

I'm keeping the Michael Fish chair warm for 24/7.

[Red Beret]

Just popped out to the big Tesco on Park Road for a few bits.  Was pissing down rain when I left. 15 minutes later and leave the store and walk straight into a fog bank. Rain has stopped but visibility is down to about 200 meters maximum. 

[Port_vale_lad]

It will rain nay piss down in stoke tomorrow around the 12 - 12:15 pm mark.

Psychic? no, iv got me booster at that time and the size of the venue means you have to queue outside so i will guarantee torrential rain, arctic gales, localised flooding.

Mark my words.

[Slippers]

A beautiful cold,crisp sunny day here.

[Red Beret]

I see the faint sunny spells forecast for the next week have now been replaced by yet more rain. Fuck off, winter.
