The weather where you live right now...

Not too bad here in Co Down N.Ireland but doesn't look that good for later on judging by this.

It was eleven degrees outside earlier in Hertfordshire, according to the thermometer on Granny Tree's wall. A bit windy but it only rained during the night. Still waiting for the "coldest, snowiest winter in thirty years" which was widely forecast six to eight weeks ago.

I'm getting a bit annoyed with wind and rain being described by the media as "extreme" and "severe". It's winter, FFS. The problems of flooding and transport grinding to a halt are down to simple lack of planning and crap preparation by housebuilders building on floodplains and transport companies refusing to invest in their infrastructure. The media-driven myth of apocalyptic weather is baffling.

Other countries handle far worse weather than this, far more regularly. Fair enough if it's too windy to fly, but otherwise... I feel sorry for the people stuck in places like Gatwick, which are in no way equipped to deal with anyone having to hang around for more than twenty minutes, but can we PLEASE stop pretending that we have the most inexplicable, unpredictable severe weather EVERY winter? The contradiction, when we are told that we don't invest in appropriate measures because such severe weather is so rare, is bonkers.

Glad to have escaped it NHD mate.

Our shed is basically broken beyond repair and part of our back fence came down last night.

Christ knows what we'll go back to.

If the road lights, and traffic lights all go down.. And visibility is bad as it's bucketing down. What do you do as a driver ?
A. Slow down and don't be a tit.
B. Full beam fog lights and just crack on ? Causing carnage.

So frustrating.

It'll be fine mate. Bricks, mortar and tiles are much stronger than fence panels
