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

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

You will have to take the low road :hehe:

:suspect:

He always does Cherie, you know that.

:omgno: :laugh:

It sounded like a hurricane outside on Saturday night, I've never heard such violent winds.

yes, very strong winds here too when i was in bed last night

loads of hail too this morning, our dog was too scared to go outside :sad:

our fence in frontyard was down, my dad had to fix that

Awww..That's sonias bistro..

Tragic. :bawling:

It's whipping up a storm I see.

Can still hear the wind battering about outside.

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....

Bloomin heck!

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.

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

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:.

:laugh:

My dog hates it, only thing she loves is eating

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:

Second man killed in post-Storm Ciara winds
