The Weather Thread (Sponsored by the Autumn Equinox 2015)

[Boydy]

How long are you in the UK for, Mokbull? I thought you'd be back in the US by now.

[mugbull]

We should actually try have a beer then. I met PENALDO yesterday so it could have been epic banter.

Yeah let's get on it though mate, I leave the country on Friday. Whereabouts are you? Canary wharf right?

[mugbull]

How long are you in the UK for, Mokbull? I thought you'd be back in the US by now.

Aww thanks for keeping up with my life! Yeah only here for a few more days, then i'm off to live like an adult in the motherland

[Lewis]

'You alright, Pen?'
'hurr "Kiko" haha :D barm cake that Gladys Althorpe :D:D:D'
'Yeah well anyway...'

[Boydy]

Live like an adult? Have you finished uni now then?

[mugbull]

Yeah man I'm a Bachelor of Science now. Will hopefully be a Master one day.

I'd have liked the UK system where you get your bachelor's in 3 years and then stay on another year for a Master's but alas the Americans give you your bachelor's in 4 and then u have to muck around til you have enough money (again) to get the master's. Oh well.

[John]

The more interesting part of that post is that he's heading back to the Czech Republic.

[phonics]

I am a Bachelor of the Arts which makes me sound like a rapist and rightly so.

[mugbull]

The more interesting part of that post is that he's heading back to the Czech Republic.

I assume there's some snarky comment hidden in here but I'm gonna be there for a couple weeks visiting family before I start my job in Cali so you're not wrong

[phonics]

R u gonna bang some sloots?

Edit: this forum has too many terrible memes.

[mugbull]

I made a thread about memes, you wanna contribute?

[phonics]

Bruh, (see what I did there?) I made the Tony Pulis one that outranks them all and was objectively relevant. That thread can eat my ass.

Two bottoms don't make a top meme.

[Kikó]

Yeah but live in Islington so that's probably easier.

Going to watch the game somewhere this evening either Islington or the city.

[Kikó]

Was it pen that you described as sounding like someone shouting down a well? Or was that amigo?

[Lewis]

Into a cave. Amigo has good English.

[Magic]

Oh man it's so cold and shitty. :(

[Shindig]

Actual hurricane on Monday. Hopefully it doesn't arse my power up. Scotland and Ireland are expecting the worst of it.

[Magic]

Windy as fuck just now.

[Giggles]

We originally had the status red for 7 counties in the south west, but it's just been updated to include all 26 now. Like fuck am I travelling anywhere for work tomorrow.

[Magic]

Lol I was just about to post RIP franny.

[Giggles]

:D I've just been told I've a job in Cork, where the original red warning was. RIP indeed.

[Kikó]

Good luck sweet prince.

[Magic]

I want live reporting on this, by the way.

Don’t know how much I fancy driving home from work on the ridiculously exposed dual carriageway tomorrow evening. All schools are shut here.

Don’t know how much I fancy driving home from work on the ridiculously exposed dual carriageway tomorrow evening. All schools are shut here.

If you're on a regular day then you could be home before it.

I got the text about 20 mins ago that work is closed. We're expecting it in the late morning.

[Giggles]

Talk about indecisive. Just cancel the fucking things and stop leaving people in limbo.

"You'll get to work but you won't get home, but you might, but you probably won't. Maybe."

It’s to kick around 2 I think up here. I’ll not be leaving until after 4. Wish me luck lads.

[Giggles]

There should be more media coverage and video of the actual storm surfacing this morning, so hopefully when it does a lot of places will send people home early.

[Magic]

:drool:

[Shindig]

We're getting the wind around 6pm. Whilst I'm leaving work.

[Waffdon]

It’s just really, really dark and wet. We’ll be fine - we never really get extreme weather in God’s County.

[Magic]

Midnight until 11am tomorrow apparently. Peak sleepage time. :(

[Spikey M]

It’s 25c and sunny here today. :harold:

[Giggles]

We were later informed that he was joking and to get in to work.

[Magic]

Dead yet?

[Giggles]

Bored off my face as I can't go anywhere.

[Spikey M]

I don’t get why this is getting so much dramatisation. 70-80mph gusts are standard Autumn fare and we get hit by ‘ex-hurricanes’ a few times a year, especially in Scotland. Irish pussy ‘oles.

[niko_cee]

It's fucking weird here today. The sun came up but was really red and now it's just eerily overcast. Feels like the kind of conditions that sees wildlife fleeing.

[Magic]

Miserable as fuck here, raining and very poor visibility. No wind yet though. Will keep you updated xxx

[Spikey M]

Sun and a bit of a breeze. Lovely day to be sat in an office.

[Giggles]

I'm home now. Not a breeze out yet, I think it's headed more west now.

[Magic]

The sky is ORANGE.

[Henry]

I got to stay at home today instead of trying to commute through this shit.

[Disco]

The radio are suitably obsessed, they've spoken to four different people in Ireland during blanket coverage that can only be described as 'Asking people what the weather is like', to which the answer every time has been 'It's a bit windy'. Glad I tuned in.

[Giggles]

Was supposed to be a match there tonight and all too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nice of the government to send the army in.

The wind is going to get a right kicking.

[Giggles]

About 5 gusts since midday here.

[Magic]

Really brightened up now. :)

Still got me washing out though, because fuck the apocalypse.

Properly weird out there

[Magic]

The sweet, piney type smell in the air is from the forest fires in Portugal and Spain.

This world tho :drool:

[Magic]

Weird. A really deep set fog, with not a drop of wind. Eerie!

It's fucking me up because of my new glasses.

They have a blue coating (I'm sending them back) which makes everything look a bit yellower.

Paddy's Day!

Jesus, remember the infatuation you all had with that for a while about 20 years ago. I prefer that you hate us.

[phonics]

You have a complex.

[Giggles]

I wish.

[Shindig]

Some weird skies today. Sun was trying to blare through the thick cloud until it just became a yellow-tinted grey. Street lights came 1pm at one and the cloud only broke around 5pm. Wind's starting to pipe up.

[niko_cee]

Looks like we have our own appointment with the end of the world in the south this weekend.

I'm particularly enjoying the emphasis the BBC weather people have been putting on the fact that it is the Irish who have (I would say rather brilliantly) named this one Brian.

[Giggles]

Septic fucking rain all night and morning. I got soaked in the 10 seconds it took to open up the office.

[Magic]

I'm in Penrith, had every intention of strolling about to find a nice cafe for brek but it's a monsoon outside. :(

[Bernanke]

Winter arrived early in Sweden. :moop:

[Giggles]

The traffic is still bumper to bumper 15km outside the city.

[Spikey M]

It’s windy as fuck out there. Even the bog water is sloshing about.

[Giggles]

One of the other fellas left work today to head to Waterford and ended up going ½ a km in the first two hours.

[Spikey M]

Snowing (barely, but still) in fucking November. I like snow, but it needs to stick to the type that makes getting into work impossible and it can absolutely fuck off when I have to drive. That had best be the last of it.

[Magic]

https://pasteboard.co/GW4zVYc.jpg

That was Morpeth.

[Spikey M]

Chucking down snow out there. Meant to be going for lunch at a country pub, but I think that’s gone for a burton.

[Giggles]

We got rain.

[Giggles]

Though I was supposed to be going to watch ball later today (about an hour away) and it's not happening. Could be lunch in the pub instead.

[Mellberg]

Stuck my motor into a wall at 5:15 this morning. We'll put the two hour wait, one hour spent loading it on to a trailer and one hour to unload down to character building. Ouch.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I love how the snow makes this country grind to a halt.

Uni announced 2 hours ago that it will be closed tomorrow.

[Shindig]

919926648031600648

Oof.

That's the wrong way to tip a rare tree.

[Giggles]

I finally found a use for the apple Smirnoff than someone gave us one time and has been in the house for yonks. Beautifully defrosted windscreen.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's pathetic, it's not even snowing. Just pissing with rain.

I am the only person who's turned up to Korea on time, so lol at them.

[Giggles]

What's the snow situation like up there Boydy?

[Shindig]

Asians seem to treat snow as an otherworldly novelty. They were probably stopping to take pictures every five minutes.

[Boydy]

What's the snow situation like up there Boydy?

Pretty bad. I was driving from Belfast to Ballymena last night and I could barely see the lines on the road. Don't think I went above 40 on the motorway and visibility was terrible as it was coming down thick and fast. It's not actively snowing at the minute but the roads will probably still be horrible.

Cheers. I think I'll see can I rearrange some stuff for today so. Only had to go as far as Belfast but I'd say even if both lanes of the A1 reopen it'll be fucking bedlam.

[Boydy]

Is there much down your way?

[Magic]

Totally fine in the north east (of England).

[Ian]

Trains seem not to be affected by the snow so I don't have to set off for work early, I don't think. And that's pretty much all I ask.

[Giggles]

Is there much down your way?

Slush but nothing major. 2 inches on the cars and all but roads too wet to stick.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Cloudless blue sky and bright sunshine here in King's Landing, not sure what you're all on about.

[Ian]

To be fair the addicts hanging about the chemists are much like white walkers.

Only less intelligible.

[Giggles]

There was fuck all in Belfast either. Only decent fall had been between Dundalk and Hillsborough.

[Ian]

The walk home there suggested that by the morning if it's cold enough we'll have a lovely, rock-hard skating rink for me to try and not die on.

Fucking Scotland.

[-james-]

Our living room looks out onto a road that has a fairly steep incline. Whenever it snows, there is excellent entertainment to be had in sitting by the window and watching cars struggle up it.

This happened about an hour ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrByAQDSLTQ

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

-1 with snow in Poland right now. Apparently it 'feels like' -6 which sounds about right.

[Magic]

So the BEAST FROM THE EAST (not Mahow) will be starting on Monday night which sees, according to the weather app, constant snow for 7 days. :drool:

[Giggles]

Fingers crossed. Just so long as it's snow where you can't get out of the driveway.

[Magic]

[Magic]

Juve game called off due to heavy snow. It's on its way. :drool:

[Giggles]

I'll make it to the office/workshop but like fuck am I going to customers if it's bad.

Wait and see, it'll be a week of piddly slush that's just an inconvenience.

[Giggles]

Supposed to drive down to Limerick tomorrow for possibly two days. Need this to hurry up and arrive today to fuck.

[phonics]

The wind here is mental. I'm off to the shops to buy one of those Palestinian scarfs to cover my face.

[mugbull]

I thought the Brits were pussies for declaring a national emergency at every snowfall, but I've been in San Diego this weekend and all I've heard from the locals is about how distressing the 14 degree highs this weekend have been

[Magic]

I've just done a journey that was mostly above 1100ft, with the highest point being 2200ft. Thank fuck it was today and not tomorrow.

Housebound for the rest of the week. :drool:

[niko_cee]

Supermarket shelves have been cleared here and little plastic sledges are selling like hotcakes.

Blue sky and sunny at the moment and the last time it snowed even a little bit was 5 years ago. Exciting times.

[Giggles]

Nothing here until Thursday now. It'll end up being fuck all.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's been snowing here on and off for the last few hours. Nothing settling though.

[Disco]

There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the office earlier about how we're all going to get snowed in. As if that's happened down here in the last 50 years, it'll be a bit cold with very little if any settling.

I'd need about 3 feet in order to be off work so it's basically meaningless up to that point anyway.

[Mike]

Woke up to snow. Cross everything and hope for more.

[Magic]

Settling here. :drool:

[Shindig]

Snow for most of the day. Oh, 'eck. Scatch that. Most of the week. Dead.

[Kikó]

It's proper snowing now.

[Magic]

Sunny here and the remnants from this morning are all but gone. :moop:

[McAvennie]

We had about an inch settle first thing this morning, and it's been snowing all day so far.
Didn't let it stop me driving miles to work, but then I drive a chuffing great Volvo that would go through snow drifts.
We're supposed to get snow every day this week

[Giggles]

Made it to Limerick and now it's looking real black.

[Magic]

Made it to Limerick and now it's looking real black.

Good to see they're all going to Ireland now we're done with the EU.

[SvN]

I have a flight to Barcelona on Friday :uhoh:

[phonics]

It's too cold to snow over here and if it did warm-up, the suns too out for it to settle. You'll be fine. Barely anyone on the continent has mentioned the weather, think it's just everyone in the UK going a bit Daily Express.

[Magic]

This is shite. Hardly anything so far yet they want to grade it as red? :harold:

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's pathetic. Main item on the BBC news is the weather, and it's just a bit colder than usual. I'm in the supposedly HARDEST HIT part of the country and there was 0.5cm of snow, maximum, and even that was only there for an hour.

Our weather warnings for yesterday suggested everyone should get home for 6pm and stay off work today unless you drive a snow plough. We are a nation of absolute fannies when it comes to snow.

[Mazuuurk]

We have a bit of a blizzard, -12C and about 15-25cm of snow here at the moment.

things are running along smoothly though :drool:

[Shindig]

That walk home was piss. Meanwhile the cars are all tippy-toeing at 15 mph.

[niko_cee]

Quite a bit of snow (relatively speaking) here today.

Some idiot managed to roll their car this morning which seemed to spook the government into shutting all the schools down. I often wonder what these drivers are up to normally. How do you roll a car at 30mph?

[Dquincy]

Full Narnia here. Doubt I'll make my 20 minute commute in an hour.

I have some twat from Belfast shouting down the phone looking for me to go up this morning. He seems unable to comprehend that I'm meant to be in the south west and if I can't get there I can't get to Northern Ireland.

Get Jimmy to sort him out.

[Giggles]

Much lols to be had at E-Class and 5 Series drivers on any sort of an incline.

Jesus Christ that was mental. Only about 1/4 of the kids lined up that are normally there. Wind would cut you in two, must have felt like -15. BALTIC.

Even if it doesn't snow, that is reason enough for me not to leave the house.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I left this morning and there was about 1cm on our street, easily out and then there was nothing on the actual roads.

Nothing is settling at all.

[Mazuuurk]

I'm a little fucked off by your countrys incapacity to handle a couple of snowflakes if I'm honest, I'm going there on Friday and now have to worry about my damn flight because it might be -1C and snow a little which is insane :moop:

Country that doesn't often get snow in struggling to deal with snow shocker!

We've been told to stay indoors from 4 tomorrow til noon Friday :D

The god damned heating oil ran out last night so I've been freezing all day. More just delivered.

[Mazuuurk]

There's about 8 inches here.

So?

[Foe]

Full power cut this morning as I was in the shower.

Then had to get a lift to work as my barrier wouldn't open to let me out and the colleague giving me a lift had a rear wheel drive BMW with no winter tyres. Fantastic.

[randomlegend]

So?

So I'd have had that as more than a couple of snowflakes.

[Giggles]

The worst thing about snow every year is boring foreigners (or cunts that have lived in snowy countries) going on about how much they have and how everything goes smoothly.

[Disco]

The over reaction is worse, anyone would think we're about to be plunged into a new dark age. It hasn't even snowed down here yet.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It snows maximum 1-3 days a year here, of course we're not set up for it and nor should we be. Would be a complete waste of resources.

[Magic]

The worst thing about snow every year is boring foreigners (or cunts that have lived in snowy countries) going on about how much they have and how everything goes smoothly.

Agreed.

[Baz]

The worst thing about snow every year is boring foreigners (or cunts that have lived in snowy countries) going on about how much they have and how everything goes smoothly.Yep, the woman I don’t like at work recently went to Finland so all I heard yesterday was ‘this is nothing.’ I wouldn’t mind but I purposely didn’t talk about weather once all day because I’m not a boring bastard. :mad:

[Magic]

No snow for us tonight I bet.

[Giggles]

Yep, the woman I don’t like at work recently went to Finland so all I heard yesterday was ‘this is nothing.’ I wouldn’t mind but I purposely didn’t talk about weather once all day because I’m not a boring bastard. :mad:

Best course of action is to tell her to fuck off back to Finland.

I mean fair but on the other hand y'all have spent 5 pages discussing a snow flurry

[phonics]

It's not even a flurry. It's very basic snow. It was worse in 2010...

[Disco]

Do the British talk about the weather more than other nationalities? It feels like it's the basic go to small talk in most situations. Must be because nice weather is so unexpected and therefore worthy of comment while bad weather is some sort of shared torment that we can all sympathise over.

[Shindig]

Early finish. Didn't want to take it (What's an hours difference actually make?) but our team leader really wanted out. Looks like there's less snow about tomorrow so I'm hopeful to quickly make the time up. Everyone else is taking tomorrow off.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Drive to work was fun this morning. On the road at about 5.15am so it's at its worst. Didn't get much above 40 for the whole 20 odd miles, meant to be worse tomorrow too.

It never ceases to amaze me how close people sit to your bumper in these conditions though. Scumbags.

[niko_cee]

After predicting a blizzard and everything announcing it would be shut today barely a flake has fallen overnight. Most disappointing.

[Giggles]

We had an extra couple of inches (from 6 to 8) overnight. Getting to work will be fun.

[Raoul Duke]

It's settling pretty well in London. Still going this morning. RIP my bank balance when this heating bill hits :|

[Shindig]

I'm amazed this took a turn for the worst. Heavy snow all day on top of the 8 inches we've already had. I'm calling it now: I'll be the only one who makes it on from our team.

[Kikó]

Feels like -11. Fuck off . Work from home it is.

[Magic]

Awesome loads fell overnight. :drool:

[Kikó]

What a shithouse that guy is.

[Magic]

Lol there won't be enough gas to last the day apparently.

[Shindig]

Oooh, text from the team leader...

'Dress down today.'

:moop:

[phonics]

Yo SvN, sorry about jinxing it. We just had a foot and a half of snow fall overnight :D

[Giggles]

What a shithouse that guy is.

Do you think he'd have been able to stop in time? He had to try swerve round it.

[Kikó]

I mean the guy filming. The bus driver is legend.

[phonics]

It's clearly a dashcam...

Or is it something he says? I'm on mute at work obvs.

[Mazuuurk]

Yeah he sounds like a complete knob.

[Giggles]

Yeah it's a dashcam. Like most Scots, I haven't a clue what he's saying.

[Mazuuurk]

So I'd have had that as more than a couple of snowflakes.

OK then, you prissy little snowflake.


The worst thing about snow every year is boring foreigners (or cunts that have lived in snowy countries) going on about how much they have and how everything goes smoothly.

Stop being shit at it then.

[Magic]

It's mental now, at least a foot and still going strong.

[phonics]

Stop being shit at it then.

When they were spending dece money on countering it you had the papers up in arms that they'd spent so much money being prepared only for nothing to happen. Can't win.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Driving round in a Mercedes E220 with bald tyres isn't the best.

Especially on our cul-de-sac as it's all inclined. I didn't think I'd be able to park it as it was slipping around so much.

[Mazuuurk]

Yeah alright.

UK papers do love being up in arms about stuff mind you. Rather. Shocking.

Chaps.

[Giggles]

A load of us got caught behind some lad in an E-Class unable to move away from the lights on a slight incline yesterday. Wheels spinning like fuck.

[Giggles]

Yeah alright.

You needed to reply to me on two separate occasions about it?

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Got away from work 2.5 hours early thankfully. Some of the snow drifts coming off the fields are horrific. Visibility is fuck all and ending up pointing 30 degrees round from where the road is isn't the most reassuring feeling.

[Magic]

All things considered, this is absolutely nowhere near the original beast from the east back in '10.

[Mazuuurk]

You needed to reply to me on two separate occasions about it?

Nah I fucked something up, don't worry blood.

[Giggles]

All things considered, this is absolutely nowhere near the original beast from the east back in '10.

Lower temperatures will always trump snow. It's only -1 here now but in 2010 at my gaff it was -13.

Should at least have water and heat this time round and it's grand once you're smart enough to stay indoors.

[Magic]

I meant snow. The volume of snow then was absolutely insane. This is nothing compared to that.

This was an Arnold Clark dealership after a few days.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

I've found the main road to work worse than 2010 in places purely due to the wind blowing everything off the fields.

[niko_cee]

Snow has given way to rain here, and I believe we're in for days of it without let up.

Joy.

[Foe]

Hardly any snow up here.

It was -10C windchill offshore overnight though so fuck having to work outside a nightshift in that.

[Disco]

Properly arrived here this afternoon, sent most people home at about 2ish. The walk home was a bit manky, just chipped actual ice out of my hair.

[ScousePig]

We were sent home at 1pm yesterday and were closed today, and just got the message that we're remaining closed tomorrow.

School :cool:

[Shindig]

You know what I hate about walking in this? Not knowing where the path ends until you're into a foot of untouched snow.

[Mike]

We were sent home at 1pm yesterday and were closed today, and just got the message that we're remaining closed tomorrow.

School :cool:
Bastard. We’re open. It’s bloody freezing, assembly today was awful cos the hall had no heating.

[Giggles]

The amount of fucking twats stuck in cars everywhere. They should be left there.

[Magic]

I'm fucking freezing constantly now. Beyond a joke. Still fucking snowing.

[ScousePig]

Bastard. We’re open. It’s bloody freezing, assembly today was awful cos the hall had no heating.

Sounds like you should be going home to me. Get 'em telt.

[John Arne]

Sticky as all fuck, here.

Anyone notice anything strange in the picture of the bloke? :|

[Kikó]

Nice nails.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Glad I don't work Fridays anyway, wouldn't have fancied getting stuck on the other side.

[Waffdon]

Where’s that? Carnoustie itself isn’t too bad but the wind blowing all the snow off the fields has fucked all the roads coming in and out. I’ve had to walk to some Council Care Home place here as all public transport not coming through Carnoustie to Arbroath and I’m not using annual leave to stay off.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

That's Marywell just after you've left Arbroath for Montrose. It was sunny there yesterday when I came home and had been freshly cleared thankfully.

Yeah it's the snow coming off the fields there and closer to Montrose that have been an absolute cunt. Roads away from them haven't been too bad. No fun when visibility is done to zero.

[Giggles]

Train won't be going then.

[Shindig]

The shops are looking a little barren. All they had left was Hovis.

[Magic]

Sainsbury only had part baked rolls and fajitas left.

[niko_cee]

Yeah, I've not seen a loaf of bread for about 3 days in the supermarket.

I can only imagine the apocalypse level hoarding that would occur if it ever snowed over a bank holiday.

[Magic]

And I had to buy goats milk. My cereal tasted like jizz.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My sister has to have goats milk, it's the aftertaste that is fucking appalling.

[Magic]

Maybe she likes bukkake.

Ireland are at end of days already https://twitter.com/Scarlet4UrMa/status/969676098786287616?s=19

[Giggles]

Posted about it already in the news thread.

The African element needless to say. Stupid cunts snapchatted themselves doing it all.

They need the same treatment that the last shower of these got a while ago. Haven't been heard from since.

Good to see someone picking up the slack of proper law an order from the IRA.

That's poor, even for you.
