Storm Arwen
 

Getting pretty strong these winds in the north west where I live. I know its been worse other parts. But our house is shaking a bit and a few fences around the area are down already. I'm quite scared of wind that strong! Let us know what damage you all come across in the morning

Even in IAC Ant & Dec mentioned something about the weather being bad, seems to be all over .

The winds are really strong ,I keep hearing bins fall over outside .

It's pissing it down where I live.

Hopefully it stays at that level and it doesn't get worse.:fc:

So bad here (North Wales).

Power cuts everywhere, ours has just come back on now after a couple of hours but flickering constantly, bound to go again soon.

Roads blocked by big fallen trees, torrential rain and gale force wind, hailstones from earlier have compacted to the roads and just frozen over so it'd bedlam to drive. Fence panels have gone, bins have gone...

Crazy.

So cold last night/this morning.

These climate change freaks are gonna freeze us to death.

I had on 3 thermal tshirts, a jumper, a fleece jacket and a woolen jacket top, and I was frozen.

We’ve got wind and rain in the south east but I called 999 at 340 this morning heard a loud thud
Looked out of my bedroom window and saw a car In the ditch across the road went over there with phone torch on to find a guy looking at his phone with the car still running

Had the hallmarks of a drunk driver so went inside and phoned the police they came in about 10 minutes the guy was still sat in the car

We had a drop of snow last night.

No wind here in London, but it's cold and rainy.

Total white covering of snow now

I've known cold before, but just lately it's getting colder than ever. I'm starting to have sympathy with what the people of Scotland have been through all these years.

You feel the cold more when you get older

Bloody Scotland what about the Eskimo’s

Talking of Eskimo’s, evolution has seen their faces become flat so there noses are very flat because if they stuck out they would freeze

I'll have to make a big pan of Stew and Dumplings this weekend.

Wild winds here last night...we got about 10 mins if snow but it didn't stick. Freezing though and still quite gusty. Not raining though now so that's a bonus

Met Office published the highest gust recorded as 98mph at Brizlee Wood in Northumberland.

How has it been in your neck of the woods LT?

Woke up to a power cut expected to be fixed in 12 hours... luckily I'm at work most of the day.

At the airport up the road they recorded 75mph gust. Garden is a mess, chairs blown over, my 3 windchimes are missing and my Ikea thing i hang socks on is in bits down by the shed

:ninja2:

and now its snowing a wee bit

nothing of such sort, just a bit of typical winter weather

Global warming, my arse!

That’s not how climate change works and the more extreme weather over the last few years is, in fact, evidence of climate change/global warming.

Global warming means higher average temperatures, globally, across the year. It doesn’t mean it’s always warmer. It does mean more hurricanes and storms, high winds, flooding, unusual winter weather. If you want to see the “warming” part take a look at Australia, California, the Tropics etc. In their summer months. Hottest temps on record being recorded year-on-year.

What climate change means for Britain is gradually losing our “moderate” weather, which means colder, more chaotic winters.

Up in the valley they lost power at 9 pm and its still off!

Neighbours came hammering the door last night because the kids trampoline (massive 12 foot thing) had vaulted the 6 foot fence, just missed their car, and carried in into the street. Managed to wrestle it back to the garden in high winds and it’s now dismantled. It’s ancient and funnily enough I was just thinking last week that I needed to get around to taking it apart and get it to the dump! Hand has now been forced.

2 have Died
Tree's falling on them
two locations


Arwen got Nasty

like i said, typical winter storm


those 2 shouldn't have died if there were proper weather warnings on the news


Stay Indoors especially with storms like these (and any stormy weather throughout the year)

Very windy up here in the North East.
Hubby had to check the newly built wall hadn’t fallen down, loads of builders stuff blowing against it.
Very wild all night, rain, hail and still blowing wild out there.

Let’s get some coal burnt and warm our asses up.

120 HGVs trapped in snow on the M62 and almost 70,000 properties without power in Greater Manchester.

Even Arwen
Stopped ITV1HD going live in the Castle.
Friday night.

They had to record it early.

Still going (very) strong here.

Supermarkets are all shut local to me because of the conditions and the wind has even sent an oil tanker into the local Tesco (tipped it as it was coming around a corner and sent it into the side of the building, overturned). Mayhem.

Poor Annie shut out of Tibb.

I've got power.....my dads is off though

Ex Mrs LT says power will not be on in the valley now till 10 pm (from 9pm last night) and literally zero phone signal either - she is not there at mo as she is down at shops in Perth but the poor boy is stuck there frozen with no heating no phone no ps5

It will be like my childhood in the seventies i told her :joker:

Does that mean TV and Internet are down?

Did Alf predict a black-out when the Maxwell trial starts?

Had to go out at half 7 to pick up everything that had been thrown around in the garden including a big trampoline. Our neighbours fence had broken off it got really bad through the night

Its no longer Red Alert.

3 have died in this storm, so far.
