Winter 2023/24 - It's FREEZING!

[Blackvault]

They have come as early as 6:15am before! Mondays are usually the day I don't bother with alarm clock,

Do you then put your trousers on, have a cup of tea and think about leaving the house?

We seemed to survive the storm last night, although the wind still blowing a gale this morning. My partner has left the horses in their stables, I can't imagine they'll want to stand out in that wind again.

It wasn't too bad round here and if it was I slept through it, our storage box got blown a few metres but eventually stopped by shed and fence.

strong but nothing too bad no horizontal rain fall ,no slate chatter ,greenhouse glass ok ,one last round of westerlies showing between 11am to 3pm
my favorite bit is when the wind drops but all that energy is still in the ocean and the big waves come (onshore gales just blow out the waves)

Roof tiles on the house getting lifted and moved currently keeping me awake. 50mph+ gusts here and our house is quite exposed.
Hopefully nothing actually comes off the roof this time.

On the south Wales flats here and was fine.
If the chicken coop doesn't get lifted it's not too bad.

Gusts of 60mph here so not too bad.

Whereabouts are you?

Rural Perthshire. Three large trees down around my house this morning. Thankfully all fell away from the buildings. One nearly fell on to the a nearby railway line.

Some of the recycling bins blew over and contents strewn onto the residents' paths. If they don't pick it up, they are 1. Bloody lazy and 2. Don't seem to care. Don't understand why people don't pick up rubbish that has blown onto their driveway. Spend thousands of pounds on the house and yet cba picking up a crisp pack that has blown to their front door.

[Mysterae_]

I went to sleep last night fine and there wasn't any damage by the morning.

Tomorrow sees a new storm incoming, the only thing forecasted for sure is more clickbaiting by the media.

 

[Stu999]

Was 13c outside when I went to the shops earlier. Not exactly freezing.

Back to running in shorts again

I'm freezing today, I can't warm up. Been wearing my wooly hat all day.

Yeah this is windier than it was with the warnings here too

 

[Uther]

Still a bit blowy here, will be happy when things calm down a bit.

 

[marcg868]

In Preston at work and can feel the ward block creaking in the wind. Much worse than the Amber Warning the other day.
Other half at home in Rishton has just had to put some rope round the garden gate so it doesnt get ripped off the hinges.

 

[MatsyLR]

Very windy but hovering around 15-16 indoors. No heating for awhile hopefully!

 

[coupe69]

Current wind gusts in MPH, some seriously strong winds out there tonight, definitely stronger here near Stafford than it was for Storm Isha.

Shawbury weather station stats for the last few days confirms strengthier wind and gusts tonight too.
