It's crazy.

[user104658]

It's not been that bad here :think:. Bit of wind yesterday but nothing hugely out of the ordinary. Haven't seen any trees or even large branches down.

[Kazanne]

We have luckily escaped any damage , just things thrown around the garden , all the fences are still intact, still blustery today but sunny.

[Crimson Dynamo]

S0 the Arctic air has dug in here now and i had a very snowy drive there up the valley. Not too bad on way up just heavy snow but black roads, not so good on way back with heavy snow and white roads. plenty more snow to come today and tomorrow - the high road is already impassable

It's whipping up a storm I see.

[Dogeatdog]

Can still hear the wind battering about outside.

[Strictly Jake]

The wind isnt letting up here if anything its worse. Just put my recycling boxes out the front they went flying down the road had to go around picking everything up. Had an embarrasing amount of pizza boxes going into neighbours gardens....

[Strictly Jake]

Cv4HwHHJEEY

Bloomin heck!

[user104658]

I swear there was nothing here :think:. A lot of sleet/rain, got someone coming to look at our driveway later in the week because it's developed two massive potholes because the ground is soaked :fist:... the river is high-ish but I've seen it (much) higher. There was, I'd say, moderate wind on Sunday evening and that's it :think:. Couple of small tree braches on roads, a wheely bin or two blown over after being emptied.

[Niamh.]

Yeah here we've had, snow, rain, sleet, hail and sunshine all in one day

[user104658]

Yesterday morning I walked my eldest to school and it was sunny when we left, I was like "Ooh don't like the look of that black cloud" ... literally 2 seconds after my daughter went into the school, it was overcast and sleeting heavily, me and poor doggo got SOAKED on the way home :fist:. Soaked in freezing slush!

She loved it to be fair, wanted to go back out in the garden :think:.

I think Rosie's goes;

#3 - Water (will swan dive into a freezing river :umm2: )
#2 - Eating
#1 - Other dogs. Obsessed.

She's pretty obsessed with food, but she'd abandon the tastiest snack in a heartbeat if she saw a potential doggy pal on the horizon. Makes recall training while out walking interesting :think:. Her recall is perfect UNLESS there's another dog present, then it goes out the window. And all the training guides are like, distract and reward with treats. In that moment, she couldn't give a **** about the treats! :joker:
