Title: The worst weather of the autumn next week
Post by: bamford6 on November 05, 2010, 09:53:51 am
A big change in the weather will take place during the next few days across Britain, as it turns stormy, and colder. By Monday gales or severe gales are likely in many parts, and there will be heavy outbreaks of rain pushing east. The persistent rain looks set to clear away later on in the day, but it will be followed by heavy showers. Over high ground in the north the showers are likely to turn increasingly to snow. Brian Gaze of TheWeatherOutlook said, "We're expecting the worst weather of the autumn

Bitter northerly wind here today..........maybe I'd better start getting the logs in for the woodburner - and I do LOVE my woodburner  ;D ;D ;D ;D    Hubby is not allowed to touch it....he just has instructions about chopping the wood for it ;)

We've turned the 10'' trampoline upside down as it happened before that it landed an inch from my car after a journey of 20 meters. This minute we are in the quiet zone between the storms (saw the forecast!!!), not looking forward to the later afternoon (but maybe we are going to be lucky??) :&>

Heavy rain and strong winds here early morning in Devon. Now, breezy and sunny(1p.m.) but doesn't look as though it will last.

Pelting down with hail and very windy here. But the BBC weatherman just told me the rain had passed Mid-Wales by now so I guess I must be seeing things. We don't have the luxury of central heating here so my little one has insisted on wearing her bobble hat all day and a while ago took herself willingly for a nap - I think it was just to get warm!

Severe storm force winds and lashing rain here in Donegal in NW Ireland... really terrible.
Trees down, phone line gone, I have 10KVA stand-by generator ready to go in case the electricity fails.
I detest these months in this part of the northern hemisphere.

Crazy weather here, one minute its dry, next its huge hailstones, within minutes its stopped and the sun is shining.  That was yesterday, today its just drizzle, very warm though, about 60F.

Here in North Yorkshire exceptionally strong winds and horiziontal rain yesterday from the east, tarpaulin ripped off straw stack, fields bogging ankle deep in mud, electric off for a short time. Today winds are still stong but from south and at least its dry, six very pregnant heifers escaped from our neighbours 2 miles away and ended up in the lane next to us so spent an hour before coming to work rounding them up. My cheeks are glowing. Pigs have all gone back to bed with doors down. Wish i could too. Tonight will be another round of extra staw to all especially the two lots of pigs still out in the paddocks. Hopefully a dry day tomorrow with the wind dropping, might manage to retrieve what is left of my tarpaulin and re-sheet my straw stack!! More heavy rain forecast here for Sunday.

It's wickedly cold in South Devon today but no snow. I have to drive to Hereford on Friday for a funeral so hope it keeps away 'til Saturday at least. There is a fairly strong breeze blowing which is keeping the frost away and I have a feeling (or maybe it's wishful thinking) that we will get rain rather than snow.
Keep warm everyone ;)
