This even more just in - the weather thread
celticgeek:
Speaking of the weather: how are forumites in England and western Europe holding out, what with the weather being a pain and all?
Metope:
This is one of the few times it's been stormy in this region and Scotland didn't get any of it, just some on-off rain for a couple days. It's beautiful and sunny now, actually.
pwhodges:
The path of the storm was quite narrow, and missed me; it also passed at night. Honestly, I wasn't really conscious of anything more than a windy walk with the dogs!
A tree fell on a railway line near Oxford, but that's it locally. My wife's car journey to work in the morning (driving towards the main storm) was her easiest ever, as so many people had been panicked into staying in. I believe there have been two deaths from the storm in England (13 in Europe altogether). Also two people died in a gas explosion that is suspected to have been a result of storm damage.
Barmymoo:
Ah, I was going to say that the news keeps announcing four deaths but the last part of your sentence explains that. Here, in the Welsh borders of Shropshire, the storm didn't really hit but the weather is unsettling - half an hour ago there were bright blue skies and brilliant sunshine, and now it is drizzling quite heavily and I had to sprint out to fetch the washing in.
ev4n:
It's possible that I have cousins in Shropshire. Of course, given that I'm not sure where my paternal grandmother is from, it's possible that I have cousins pretty much anywhere in England. (maybe pwhodges or barmymoo are related to me. or not)
As for weather, second time having to scrape the windshield on the way to swimming. Also, had to switch from the windbreaker to the fleece, since it was -4C.
