Talisman Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Really windy here as well - but exhilerating with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Super windy! I'm glad it should be blown through by the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 It was very windy here yesterday and last night. All over the country there are various damages, though gladly it wasn't too bad compared to what it could have been (the wind was up to 120 km/h). In the Netherlands we use the scale of Beaufort to denote wind speeds (do you use that too in other countries?). Apparently it was up to 11 at the coast. Here it was probably more between 7 and 10, but it was very stormy. What I've seen all our trees are still there (other than the ones that have been taken down by the treepeople) though some branches have broken off. Several plastic constructions that we had, have broken down (they were nets as protection for our animals). I'm hoping my boyfriend can fix that later. At least there was no roof or car damage or anything worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 We've had a couple of small branches break off one of our trees but nothing major, lots of bins and recycling boxes blowing around though! Worst thing was train travel, luckily my line wasn't affected (for once) but lots of other people took about 2 hours to get home from London, and people travelling to other parts of the country had to wait for hours, a lot of the big stations were closed. Much quieter today thankfully, and nice and sunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 A beautiful day, sunny with clear skies, and thankfully, the wind has died down! In fact, it was nice enough to not need a jumper and a fleece this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Oh not warm enough here for a fleece, that wind is pretty cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 A bit blustery, but dry and cold, so pretty much a normal February day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yesterday was grey, windy and drizzly, sunny now but still quite windy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Rained most of last night, in fact it woke me up just after 2.00 as it was so heavy, and windy too, it was lashing the window at one point! Still pretty wet now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sazed Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Grey, grey, grey as always. I'm starting to think I'll never see a blue sky again in this city... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 It rained through the night. This morning I had to drop husband at Heathrow Airport, and enjoyed a torrential downpour, hailstones, and then bright sunlight on my return journey. I think the downpour / sunshine theme it set to continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 We had the hailstorm around an hour ago, it was hideous. Missed out on the bright sunshine though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onion Budgie Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Rainy and cold here too, on the east coast. I rather enjoy walking in the rain, though, which is just as well, seeing how I got caught in a downpour... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Had the weirdest colour sky before - it looked like a really bad bruise - then it cleared up and was actually blue in a few places! Now damp and cold again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sazed Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Sunny and blue skies! I can't believe it. Excited to see how long it lasts, my bet's no longer than 9.30 Edited February 28, 2017 by Sazed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madeleine Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Sunny here too, but cold and quite a few clouds so I suspect it won't last! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirley Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 raining, windy and so cold again, we had a bad frost overnight will it ever stop and be nice. I have to say I don't like winter anyway so much prefer the summer days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Wet. Got absolutely soaked walking back from Dad's this morning. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was just rain, but I got hailed on as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesilbeach Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Typically, when I had to go and collect my car from the garage, it was blue skies as I left the house and within a minute or two, the clouds had come in and it was pouring with rain, so I got soaked for a second time. Even more typically, as I turned into the street where the garage is ... the rain stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
