To be honest, I wouldn't complain as much if we had decent summers... You know, June July and August pretty much guaranteed to be hot and sunny, but at the mo winter seems to last from October until April then we have a few months of overcast skies (albeit milder) then back to winter again!
I need to emigrate I think! :)

Sheffield totally flooded in two freak storms in recent years. Not sure how anyone can say I'm disrespectful. I was in the thick of it. But as far as storms go you have to say we get off lightly as far as the rest of the worlds concerned. If you're worried, stay home and keep as safe as you can. Just be sensible

I am very worried about the storm coming my way and blowing my house down, is there anything you can say to me to put my mind at ease?

Yep, I understand that. But in severe storms, if so dangerous, it's actually expected that you stay home and don't risk your life. Last winter we actually had calls and warnings to stay away from jobs and school etc unless in emergencies. It just puts pressure on emergency services

The weather was ace here today! It's been raining and windy for the past few weeks in Glasgow, yet as soon as this severe storm was announced, the weather's been clear, a little bit chilly but pretty good for November in Scotland!
