The winds are picking up here in sunny west Midlands (Tipton \ Bilston area)
I'm looking out my bedroom window watching the trees bend
Sounds really scary I'm staying put. More family history it is then lol x

That sounds like the most sensible thing to do Mjay!!

well north west recorded 108mph today gusting hear expecting more snow when temp drops dont think the cloggers could of handled the weather weve had in the uk the last 3 months

The wind almost had me off my feet today, but luckily a bin was near by to hang on too till my friend got hold of me
Terrible winds and rain here, took all the snow away though, well this morning it was frozen snow and so slippy.
Its quite scary!

Hope it's not too bad over there! Looking at the weather forecasts, it seems to be turned on it's head as it's colder in the UK than here in Denmark - we're usually comparible with the North of England.

My husband is on a rig in the North Sea SS I spoke to him a little while ago and he said its very cold and not too bad where he is. But thats for now...

My husband is no further north(Danish sector) than I am, so it's not too cold - he said it was a bit hairy outside! Is your husband in the British sector Jo?
Of course if he follows the safety rules he always has one hand on the rail, when using the stairs (I hope so, he works for a company who does third party control in terms of safety on the rigs!!)

It blew a lot last night, but has calmed down now. There's been localised flooding around the bay, but that's nothing unusual - every time there's a real good blow that coincides with high tide it floods. So a low lying bridge over the river will be closed, and I'll bet there's flooding along the river in town too. It's the only river that flows into the Wadden Sea (well the Danish part of it) that isn't protected by a lock or sluse.

It's all gone quite on here - you all been blown away?

I was in Bridgnorth other day and all roads were closed off to it!!
When we eventually got around it ....I have never seen anything like it
the Severn had burst its Banks............Swans on Fields....Waves on Fields.
Caravans with water lapping at their door..................terrible!!
Like a disaster movie.

We have taken advantage of a break in the weather and have just been down to Charmouth Dorset, the beach as been re-arranged completely by the waves, I could not believe how many people were walking on or near previous and land slips looking for fossils.
