It's been raining here ...YAY! Sweet sweet rain.

Last new years it was 33 degrees C at three in the morning, it was hot humid and rainy last night but not as bad as last year.

It's very windy here in the North, 80 MPH gales predicted!

The bad weather has caused several New Years Eve celebrations to be cancelled...Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Liverpool. Seems London is OK at the moment...

We're having a thunderstorm here....about 1/2 hour ago the window cleaner cleaned the windows....typical...

:wah: Hahaha exactly the same here, just add lots of dark gloomy clouds, dark gloomy clouds and some more dark gloomy clouds and that's the rubbish kind of weather we have had, oh and not too mention the galeforce cold wind. Haven't had a nice day in ages!!

It so cold out there, i've was out watching a footi match at 8, trying to defrost myself

Wow, that will not be fun to put up a fence!

chrisb84uk · Post by **chrisb84uk** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 1:14 pm

I feel your pain Wendy, the wind has ripped off the whole off our fence, and that's several panels as well not just the one. And to make it even worse our neighbours don't seem to be interested in doing anything, and the wind still keeps blowing making any work that is done even harder!!

We have ice!

We might have snow tomorrow. I'll be staying home if we do. :yh_pray

Great day to research my investments. :yh_money

Hey...lucky you....not the weather, but the day off.

Wet and dreary here but mild (ish)....70 mph winds due at the end of the week.

At least the days are drawing out a little.

It's still way too warm for January! But it looks like it wants to rain buckets!

chocoholic · Post by **chocoholic** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:36 am

It's pouring here and tomorrow is going to be even worse according to the weatherman, heavy rain and gales - why can't we have some snow:(

Mystery · Post by **Mystery** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:36 am

I'm terrified of even the idea of driving home in that crap.

At least some of the hose pipe bans will be lifted for the summer :-6

A few years ago we had continuous winter rain and underwater 'springs' appeared that hadn't been seen for decades....it was weird.
