Steve worried that the trains will be cancelled tomorrow.......its like a horror film out there

[Victorian Farmer]

The Christmas eve storm will be the worst sleet 80 to 100 miles an houre wind ...Dosent look good for pawer lines trees and will last till boxing day .

[Lesley Silvester]

Don't tell me that, VF. I've got to drive to Liverpool on Christmas Day.

I have to admit, just 5 minutes down the road from Sandy and Steve, I hadn't noticed anything until I just let the dogs out.  It is blowy but hopefully not as bad as a few weeks ago when another of my leylandii came down.  Don't want any more logs just now thank you!

Both wind and rain have stopped here now , but it was evil earlier . I got soaked going to the land , had to empty my wellies  on the way there and back , just from rain running down my legs .
At least the wind was coming from the south , so it was a warm wind .
Horses had the hump again , who can blame them ? , and the big lump had a go at the other one while i was between them . Didn't get me this time though , ha ha ! , i got out of the way in time .

I noticed so many leaning trees earlier today and the ranger was in the forest so I expect there will be more down tomorrow...I always feel sad to see trees down!

It was spectacularly wet & windy earlier this evening - I've now got streams in places I've never had them before - justhope there's some soil left by next spring.

if it gets any wetter here I'll have to give the sheep snorkels.

O m g

Can't sleep for the wind

[Daisys Mum]

We seem to have missed it here, apart from a very heavy shower around 9.30. My son is out driving his lorry tonight so that is always a worry though.

[sokel]

We had gales and heavy rain all day, it was horrendous
This morning the wind has dropped and we have had a dusting of snow that has turned to ice    not looking forward to going out in the car later

[bloomer]

the wind dropped in the wee small hours...


we seem to have avoided the rain etc certainly not torrential like the forecast...


I believe the house is all still there will check at first light...

[lilfeeb]

snowing on my way to work this morning. Hope you all survived last night's storm.

[Mammyshaz]

Gale force winds and horizontal sleet last night. Calmed down by 10pm thank  goodness, just the odd gust through the night 
Hope everyone is ok

Was horrible here last night, not too bad when I was out at 730 but has got up again the last hour and is miserable again.  The roof of the coop is hinged and keeps blowing right over on itself, not sure how many times it'll hold before coming off completely, and the wee coop has tipped right over twice.  I'm so glad the tops of the trees are off but I guess the change in height has created some kind of eddy effect in the chook run behind it.. but better that than trees over the top of the coop and onto the house too..

Ponies are needing more hay than I can drag out in a bag 2-3x a day and I am struggling to do that too so I will have to bite the bullet and order some very expensive hay to be delivered direct to the fields so we can all have a couple days peace but I am trying to keep going til Monday so those couple days might include the promised storms on C.Eve..

Thanks for the heads up VF  I hoped today was the worst, there's snow coming in with the rain at the mo but it's too wet and windy to settle
