The Weather Thread (Sponsored by the Autumn Equinox 2015)

[Magic]

Which is today.

It is fooking freezing, and a bit windy too. Dark nights it's really starting to feel wintery, even though it's actually the start of Autumn. I hate this weather, when it's neither proper freezing and entertaining or proper hot and cozy.

But yeah, storms n shit in here please.

[Lee]

I hate this. About eight months until we get any nice weather now. I wouldn't mind if we got loads of frost or snow but it will just piss down and I'll never see daylight outside of working hours.

[SvN]

Crap isn't it? I can't stand the dark evenings, really depresses me.

[Chris]

Noticed it getting dark in the mornings, was getting up at 05:00 or 05:30 all Summer, could barely get out of bed today at 05:50 because it was still dark :(.

[Demerit]

I absolutely love Autumn weather..

Perfect temperature for running/outdoor expertise (football). I like having to put the heating on and it being nice a toasty when I get in from work. Basically, I want every day to be a Sunday, and winter allows this.

I'd prefer if it were 4/5 degrees cooler actually and pitch black in the mornings.

[Mike]

Been nice here today, especially this morning. Took a trip to the park and didn't need a jacket. On the other hand though, it was dark out when I woke up, I'm not a fan of that.

[Magic]

7C this morning. Ooft.

Also getting some absolutely astonishing sunsets.

[SGH]

Been freezing in the house recently. A nice roaring fire sorts that out nicely. Top.

[Magic]

Absolutely stunning week weather wise. Topless sunbathing and it's nearly October. :cool:

Supposed to be shit at the weekend though, up here anyway. :(

[Magic]

So its just a bit windy and rainy out there. How are the irish/Tobes holding up?

[Shindig]

Rainin' sideways. Should be fun if the river pops. They've got the Lumiere festival on and naturally there's a couple of things right on the riverside.

[Toby]

They've pre-emptively closed schools here, which I think they'll regret given this is about the calmest evening of the whole week so far.

[Raoul Duke]

It's almost as if teachers fancied sacking it off and having Friday off :sherlock:

[Toby]

It's more or less a typical November's day here, and yet people are pissing themselves and getting all excited as if it's the first time they've seen stormy weather. I suppose the fact a bunch of parents have had to take the day off work is playing in to that, but it's amazing the impact giving something a name can have.

[Ian]

Last week I got caught on my way back from the train in the sort of rain normally associated with Biblical wrath-of-God tales and environmental apocalypse movies. Tonight just as I get to the station it starts chucking down with hail the size of small babies. Fuck off, Abigail.

[CJay]

Check out the flooding near Strabane (15 minutes away from us) today. It floods quite regularly, but I've never seen it so bad before.

https://www.facebook.com/donegal.page/videos/1204588399567834/

[Magic]

First lying snowfall here. :drool:

[Lee]

We had some lying at around 6am but it had all fucked off by 9am. Today at the football was freezing, even woth. Hat, scarf amd gloves on. Hopefully we get a cold winter. If not I'll at least get a few proper winter days in Tromso in February.

[Pepe]

Got some snow here too. :moop:

[Boydy]

It's so fucking dreary here it's practically dark already. I've got the light on.

[Toby]

When does it actually get dark for you at the moment? Sun has already started setting here.

[Magic]

It's been headlight weather all day today, and it's getting dark now too, on Friday the sun will set at 3:44PM. :moop:

It rises at 08:14. :sick:

You forget how utterly shit winter is.

[Boydy]

When does it actually get dark for you at the moment? Sun has already started setting here.

According to Google, sunset here is at 4:11pm. How depressing.

[Magic]

Oh. :(

[CJay]

Storm Desmond brought some of the worst flooding I've ever seen to Donegal yesterday. Took me three hours to do a 1.5 hour journey yesterday afternoon as one of the towns on my route was basically entirely submerged, as you can see in the picture. I think a state of emergency was declared in Ballybofey when Aldi and the local department store flooded.

[Giggles]

Fucking hell, I was down in Wexford yesterday for a while and I thought that was bad but that is unreal. I did get diverted twice by fallen trees, but nothing near that water. The Slaney had covered a lot of fields but seemed to be ok around the towns.

[CJay]

Huh, I didn't realise it was bad on the east coast too. It was grand going through Limavady and Derry, then all hell broke loose when I crossed the border, thankfully before the Mourne burst its banks in Strabane, otherwise I would have had a much longer detour to get home.

[Giggles]

It was ok early but Wexford and Wicklow got changed from status yellow to orange in the early evening and got pretty hairy, the wind blowing the car on the road was as bad as I've felt. Good bit of damage around SW and W Dublin when I got back this morning too.

[Boydy]

It's fucking dark here. At quarter past four. I fucking hate Winter.

[Sam]

It's fucking dark here. At quarter past four. I fucking hate Winter.

Arrive at work in the dark, get home in the dark. It's horrid.

[Lee]

Yeah it's shit.

[Magic]

It's bollocks, but worse still it's warm! Well cold just now but Thursday it'll be windy, rainy and 13C. That's fucking unacceptable. I want calm and frosty or snow. Fuck off with this Autumnal weather. We all know February is going to be utter shit.

[Boydy]

Yeah, I want it to be dry but cold. Fuck off with this constant rain.

[Sam]

Snow would have been great but I'm a two minute walk away from work these days so I'd have no reason not to go in.

[Pepe]

Over 20 C this weekend. Imagine if it was like that all winter. :drool:

[Magic]

It's been raining for about the last 4 weeks solid, the wettest December since 1910 (awesome time to notice your roof is leaking), and I don't think I've seen the sun since then. It's absolutely appalling.

[Pen]

We ot probably ten inches of snow today and there's meant to be quite a bit more coming tomorrow too. Can't wait to jump there after a sauna today though.

No idea what I did wrong with the pics, but they work when you open them in a new tab.

[Yevrah]

Ok, it's fucking freezing now.

[Jimmy Floyd]

There was some sneaky, sneaky black ice on the pavement outside Seoul this morning. Almost sent me straight to hospital.

[Lee]

Still not cold enough for me. I want a proper dose of winter then I can start looking forward to the summer. I've still only had to scrape the car twice this winter which is a fucking appalling state of affairs. Going to get colder as the week goes on, thankfully. Then Norway in just under four weeks. :drool:

I'm looking forward to the same. Have only had shit wet and windy cold, I want some proper frost.

[Magic]

Fucking mental wind. Power was a bit flakey this morning. All bridges shut nightmare.

Red warning for Shetland this afternoon.

#pray4tobes

[Don Norberto]

Good day for sailing no?

[SvN]

I can't remember the last time I was out of the house in daylight. I actually think it's been about 3 weeks.

[Toby]

Fucking mental wind. Power was a bit flakey this morning. All bridges shut nightmare.

Red warning for Shetland this afternoon.

#pray4tobes

My boss told me I could stay home today so it's worked in my favour so far. It doesn't sound that bad from inside.

[phonics]

15 degrees here today. Has been all week. Best winter ever.

[Toby]

This wind looks a bit more impressive now that it's high tide. I can see a marina from my window and half of the boats look close to going under.

[Toby]

Wind up to 64mph (Force 11) with first >100mph gust of the day recorded. :drool:

This is looking over a very well sheltered harbour:

[Giggles]

The fucking snow has arrived :moop:

[Baz]

Same here. :moop:

[Raoul Duke]

Sunny here in Londoninium :cool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's gorgeous isn't it. The Koreans have even opened the blinds to celebrate.

[Magic]

I can see Aurora Borealis from my bedroom window. It's breathtaking. Fuck you, Amigo/Tobes.

[Lee]

Really strong aurora forecast tonight. Wish I was back in Tromso to see it. How often do you see them in Dundee, Magic? They should be strong enough a handful of nights each winter.

[Waffdon]

I don't see fack all.

[Toby]

I can see Aurora Borealis from my bedroom window. It's breathtaking. Fuck you, Amigo/Tobes.

They're ridiculous, aren't they? Just saw a photo from earlier of them showing in near daylight. I'm over the bag or I'd have been taking the car out to the darkest spot I could find.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

706591180230885376

That is stunning.

[Lewis]

I've got them in my kitchen.

[Giggles]

706591180230885376

That is stunning.

That's just from petrol bombs.

[Magic]

Wasn't as good as those pics. I thought it was a cloud or something at first.

I've never seen them before and I've tried as I follow the Twitter account that forecasts the storms.

[Toby]

Wasn't as good as those pics. I thought it was a cloud or something at first.

I've never seen them before and I've tried as I follow the Twitter account that forecasts the storms.

You almost never see the colour of it with the naked eye. Photographers just do really long exposures which bring all that out.

[Magic]

It was definitely green. Like a giant faint streak of gonnorhea discharge spunked across the night sky.

[Lee]

Indeed. Even in Norway it wasn't vivid green like that. Started out looking like bits of cloud then ended up looking like one of those green glow in the dark toys you have as a kid. Still brilliant. Amazing when it shimmers. Definitely worth travelling to see; mind you that might be because you never see it down here.

[Lee]

Spring time has arrived lads. :drool:

[Magic]

Today is the Spring Equilux. Let us rejoice.

[John Arne]

I'm playing football in 1 hour and it's 36 degrees outside.

Fucking easy way to lose 4kg, I guess.

[John Arne]

Genuinely nearly fainted. Hard fucking work that.

[Giggles]

I went through what must have been a really isolated fall of snow yesterday. Strangest I've seen.

Was heading towards Dublin on a dual carriageway and it went from completely dry to a couple of inches of snow to completely dry in the space of a minute. Luckily I knew there was a speed limit coming up and had slowed up a bit.

[Pepe]

I got a shock from my laptop as a massive thunder roared outside. The fuck is that about.

[Giggles]

I got a shock from my laptop as a massive thunder roared outside. The fuck is that about.

The thunder is the sound that comes from lightning, which is basically electricity coming from the sky.

[Pepe]

No shit!

Why is the sky blue?

[Giggles]

No shit!

Why is the sky blue?

God made it that way. He also pointed the electricity at your laptop because he's angry with you.

[Pepe]

What a cunt.

[Magic]

#teamengineer having a mare here.

[Pepe]

Feeling left out mate?

[Boydy]

Of his marital bed.

[John Arne]

My Sunday game of football has been cancelled because it's too hot :(

I can't stand on my balcony because the floor is so hot.

It's warm, is what I'm saying.

[Magic]

0C here this morning.

[John Arne]

Proper nesh.

[Spikey M]

It's hot in Scotland is what MJ's trying to say.

Bet Foe's lying on a trampoline.

[Magic]

So after being wonderful yesterday, topping 16C in the back garden, it is currently snowing. :|

[Boydy]

It's fucking snowing here.

[John]

Snowing again. Yesterday it was maybe thirty seconds of barely noticeable flakes, but these are huge midwinter fuckers which are almost certainly going to leave a coating of snow on the ground.

Isn't our relentless shagging of the planet supposed to put a stop to this?

[John Arne]

4pm and it's still 36 degrees outside. My eleccy bill is going to be off the fucking charts this month.

[Magic]

Glorious today. 8C but sunny so it feels like 36C.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm a big believer in the idea that if the sun's out, it simply isn't cold, regardless of whether or not it's technically cold.

[John]

I've been awake for three hours and we've had glorious sunshine, torrential rain, hail, back to glorious sunshine, more hail, and it's now dark grey clouds with a peeking blue sky suggesting the rest of the day could either be incredibly sunny or incredibly sleety.

I used to lol at the sort of person who'd say 'if you don't like the weather wait ten minutes' but it genuinely fits today so far.

I'll accept whatever snowy nonsense the day brings though, because it's already brought me the biggest lol of the week. Someone who'd obviously been caught out by the early sun and dressed both himself and his child in shorts and tshirt running into the Tesco car park carrying a few bags, kicking a kerb, and going right on his face in the rain.

[Magic]

So sweltering conditions expected from tomorrow onwards...except the east coast...:moop:

12C cloudy. Utter shite.

[Mike]

It's currently 24 degrees, it's set to hit 26 by 2-3pm.
I have the day off work so I've gone my parents to enjoy their garden and fridge full of beer and cider.
Out for tea for Baz's birthday to the pub later.

British summer, when it's good, is the absolute best!!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I don't see any official name so I'm naming the storm that is happening right now (well trying to happen) Gladys.

[Magic]

Well.

I had 14C and cloudy in Dundee. I had lunch just outside Perth and it was 26C. Then I got to Pitlochry and it was 28C. Then almighty storms happened for about 2 hours and it was sporadic SMASHING it down. Dry road, flooded road, dry road, flooded road etc.

Inverness now is about 16C and cloudy but looks stormy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just heard a third ambulance siren since the thunder and lightning started.

This might be the end.

[Boydy]

Thunder and lightning here today too. It's still so fucking humid. It's horrible.

Also, three people were struck by lightning in Lisburn - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-36464969 . Grim.

[Kikó]

I was watching the lightning across London on the 10th floor of the building I was in. Looked mega. Best weather without doubt.

[Manc]

Rains coming down and it's still warm. :drool:

[Lee]

I was in London today and there was a cracking storm overhead at about 2pm. Then another good one in Milton Keynes as I passed through on the way home.

[Pepe]

Apparently it will be 37 degrees on Saturday. :sick:

[Magic]

One of my DRUM FRIENDS in Pheonix, Arizona posted the forecast for the week, and it was averaging 117C, which apparently is 47C. Lol at that.

[Manc]

Lightening right above now. Scenes.

[Pepe]

117 C is 117 C mate.

[Magic]

So I meant 117F.

[Pepe]

So you did.

[Pepe]

Why don't you use Fahrenheit over there?

[Magic]

Because it's a stupid way of measuring things. 117 degrees? Fuck off. It's 47, mate.

[Boydy]

Because it's shit.

[Pepe]

It is, but then you still use equally stupid measurements such as miles and (lol) stones.

[Magic]

I'm with you on the stones things, but miles is good.

[Baz]

This weathers been great; shame it won't last.

I raked the garden three times before and then put the sprinkler on. Summer. :drool:

[Shindig]

Today was pretty nice. I'm almost in short-sleeve territory. Humidity's the thing I can't deal with.

[Raoul Duke]

Why don't you use Fahrenheit over there?

0 = freezing, 100 = boiling. Far simpler.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We should all just switch to kelvin.

[Pepe]

0 = freezing, 100 = boiling. Far simpler.

I know. Read the thread mate.

[GS]

Fuck that. Imperial measurements are best.

[Spikey M]

How many hands tall are you GS?

[niko_cee]

He's not a horse.

[Spikey M]

You've not seen him in the shower.

[Pepe]

34 feels like 42 fuck this shit.

[Lee]

14 and feels like 14 here mate.

[Pepe]

Guess I should stop complaining. :D

[Spikey M]

Thunderstorms are so great. Just what was needed too, been sweating my knackers off all day.

[Magic]

9C here and pished it down all day. Summer is officially here. :drool:

[Spikey M]

Scotloland

[Magic]

Today is the summer solstace. :(

There will also be a Strawberry Moon, something that only occurs every 60 years. Here is astronomer and author of 'THE MOON' David Whitehouse:

"You'll just see a bright full moon fairly low down on the horizon. It's not going to be strawberry coloured."

Cheers for that, David.

[Shindig]

Keeping an eye on my backyard because it's become a bit biblical. Yep. I now have a pond.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's God, he was on the remain side and is now punishing us all.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Roasting here today but there's fuck all wind.

[Raoul Duke]

Meant to be 31 here on Tuesday :cool:

I think I'll try and work from home then and just spend the day in an ice bath

[Magic]

15C and rain very summery.

[Baz]

Finally put the weedkiller down yesterday. Been waiting ages for three dry days in a row. It was spitting when I put it down but the weather app on my phone didn't let me down, and it didn't actually rain. Success! Now here's to hoping the stuff actually works, and also that I didn't accidentally tread any on the grass.

[Waffdon]

35+ in Zante all week. Noiceeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Giggles]

A sunny 24 today here, much better than the cloudy clammy 25 it was during the week.
Beer garden basically.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I have almost all of this week off work and the weather looks scorchio. There is a god, and his name is Kim, or perhaps Park.

[Magic]

Ready for these thunder storms lads? :drool:

[Lee]

They're going to be too far north for me. Cunts.

[Giggles]

Had some up north earlier but they haven't hit Dublin yet.

[Shindig]

I'm hoping I miss them tomorrow, or they hit whilst I'm in the office.

[Magic]

Mental lightning last night. No thunder though so it must have been miles away.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Barely slept because of the heat :(

[Magic]

My GOD what a fucking storm this morning. :drool:

Brutal levels of rain, wind, lightning. It was so dark the fog lights had to go on. Epic. Loved it. Only downside is I would rather be in the house masturbating over the thunder rather than in the car not hearing a thing.

[Magic]

Holy shit another monster electric storm just passed over with horrendous rain. :drool:

[Shindig]

Just about got into work before it got electric. Since then it's been sunny so I reckon it's due another dump overnight. According to the beeb, it's all due Friday.

[Boydy]

It's been pishing the last couple of days here which isn't particularly out of the ordinary but it's actually a bit chilly and it's pretty much fucking dark already at 9pm. It feels like summer's over already.

[Magic]

Yep. Twas 3C when I went for a cycle this morning.

[Raoul Duke]

It's been around 35 here in Lisbon. Almost unbearable in the afternoon

[Reg]

It's been pishing the last couple of days here which isn't particularly out of the ordinary but it's actually a bit chilly and it's pretty much fucking dark already at 9pm. It feels like summer's over already.
Heat wave coming*. :rave:

*Not sure if this only applies to England.

[Giggles]

The lol cunts have said it'll be warm from tomorrow into the weekend. Same lol cunts that said it'd be warmer than Barcelona last weekend.

Fuck it, I'll be on a high stool somewhere in Clare anyway.

[Bernanke]

It's so fucking cold in Scandinavia at the moment. They had a graph over Sweden for by how many degrees the weather dropped over just a couple of days, and a bit inland from Stockholm it said -13.

It was 2C when I woke up this morning. :sick:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

In car thermometer was reading 36 celcius today.

It's pissing mid-September.

[bruhnaldo]

It's "26" here in Orlando.

[Dark Soldier]

Thunderstorm in Manchester, its glorious. Fucking lashing it down.

[Spikey M]

Bollock status - moist.

[Magic]

Is it just me or has it went from light at night to pretty dark all of a sudden?

[Spikey M]

Nah, I've noticed it. Feels like we've lost an hour of light in a week.

[Shindig]

It's dark by the time I'm half-way home. Slightly annoying.

[John Arne]

Massive flooding here in HCMC. Annoying.

Somewhat amazingly, it's also raining inside the most prestigious (and modern) office building in the city...

Fuck this weather in the cunt.

I had to pry my wheelie bin open with a knife.

Just coming to the end of the rainy season here, so it is as muggy and clammy as all shit.

Now that people don't really use CD's anymore... what do people use to de-ice there windscreen?

[Giggles]

De-icer.

More to the point, CD's to de-ice a windscreen??

[John Arne]

CD cases, rather.

[Queenslander]

Brisbane is 35 tomorrow meaning it will be hot as fuck before 8am. North Queensland is in the 40's which is what they deserve.

CD cases, rather.

You just mean as a scraper?

You need one of these.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The train people seem to have decided to down tools as well, just too cold to bother apparently. The single train that ran this morning was so jammed full of schoolchildren that I probably unwittingly fondled enough boys to make Barry Bennell green with envy.

[Magic]

Unwittingly indeed.

[John Arne]

You just mean as a scraper?

You need one of these.


They didn't have those fancy gadgets when I were a lad.

I just pour hot water on it.

If your car is getting frozen throughout the day, you're living in the wrong place.

This morning's walk in was carnage. I'm sure I've only just regained feeling in my fingers. Better than the wife though as she's said the same as Jim with the train station closed, everyone is packed onto the bus. Thanks Sadiq.

[Giggles]

I just pour hot water on it.

If your car is getting frozen throughout the day, you're living in the wrong place.

Cold water.

I just leave cardboard on the windscreen over night. I really need to make sure the next time the boss has me looking at cars that I get one with a heated front.

[Waffdon]

It's mild as fuck here. 9 degrees when we were in the taxi on Saturday just before 11pm. Lav it

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I just pour hot water on it.

If your car is getting frozen throughout the day, you're living in the wrong place.

I got back to my car at half seven though (fuck Tuesday's, 9-7 is so gay) so it's not like it froze during the afternoon.

[Raoul Duke]

I just pour hot water on it.

[Giggles]

Is it? I just chuck a bowl of water over the windows.

I use the cardboard since and it works a treat.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I scrape.

I almost lost my right index finger to frostbite this morning though so I've ordered some gloves and this scraper:

It's the number one scraper.

[Spikey M]

I can't decide whether to aim a joke at a tiny frost bitten hand or a tiny glove. Either way, I'm lolling, so carry on.

We were down the seafront earlier and it was a bit blowy. Fuck being up north.

[Shindig]

It's not been too bad so far. Had a mad shower before I left but it's mostly just light-ish rain and gusts.

How come live up't north?

[Spikey M]

I'm not, I meant it must be 'orrible (even more so than normal) up there.

[Magic]

It was an ok journey, some heavy rain and gusts but far from the MAJOR STORM it was billed to be. Wank.

[Pepe]

Had a bit of snow as I was riding back home from the store, otherwise it is not too bad. Weekend supposed to be good, 16 max on Sunday. :drool:

[Magic]

So shit is about to get real from lunchtime onwards. Thundersnow. :drool:

Nothing forecast for my neck of the woods but I'm driving through the Highlands tonight and will probably die given the forecast.

[Magic]

Also lol at the clown that managed to get his HGV blown right over the Forth Road Bridge this morning ignoring the warnings. Right on it's side as well for all the world to see. Dat PR doe.

Snow in London would be nice, just so I can lol that I have a five minute walk to work whilst those that commute go into break down mode, again.

[Magic]

Fuck me, not even 11:30am and this is the road I'll be going up tonight...

I've only experienced snow a handful of times. Not sure what to do if it snows since I've got no mates on campus. Probably go for a walk/run. I could go find a vantage point and twat some people with snowballs, actually.

The number of breakdowns people have about this is (justifiably) increasing. The trains are basically seizing to a halt, not only on Southern either. If I was running a company I'd be making serious provisions for more working from home, or just moving the premises out of London.

The numbers of people commuting to London now are just far too much for the system to cope with, but for some reason nobody wants to admit it. Doesn't help that the nastiest, most useless Tory of them all, Chris Grayling, is now in charge.

Oh, I certainly agree. It's all a farce, it's essentially a stand still when the trains have their regular halt. Monday, in an office of about 80, there was no more than 20 of us who made it in with the rest working from home. It just not feasible with them stopping regularly.

Can't see much of a solution to be fair, if anything, commuting is only going to increase.

Wouldn't they just take the day off whilst you're stuck in the office doing all their work?

[Giggles]

That's the thing. If it comes it better be full blown 'civilisation grinds to a halt' snow and not just some piddling shit that just makes things annoying.

[Sam]

Work from home rather enforced plus I work on Tour Accounting, my day is rather relaxing if anything, as such, I don't mind going in. One of those wankers who enjoys his job.

[Boydy]

There's a fucking bitterly cold wind here right now.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Blue sky and still trees outside here, although that could also just be a picture the Koreans have put over the window.

[Magic]

Snow just started. :drool:

[Magic]

Well the roads are absolutely fucked at the moment up north, should be twice as bad when I get there circa 9pm.

[bruhnaldo]

Careful driving! :)

[Magic]

Yeah I'll take it easy, tread is a bit thin on the old tyres but car is going back in less than a month so fuck changing them.

[Giggles]

Surely you'd be allowed buy a set? Shaft them on the cost when the car is going back :drool:

[Magic]

I really don't want to take it in to the tyre place and have my seat position changed again. Takes me ages to resolve.7

EDIT: company car.

Yeah exactly, so they pay for the tyres. If they complain you can ram health and safety up their chuff.

lol you can see where the road is supposed to be. And yes they are night vision so normally show it up.

[Boydy]

The snow's on here now. Massive flakes, pretty heavy and it's lying.

[Offshore Toon]

Just been pissing it down here, despite the snow warning.

[Sam]

Raining here, snow won't stick if it does come and then it'll be a slippery bitch.

[Boydy]

The snow here didn't last that long but it's still lying. There's more forecast for later. I hope it doesn't start till I get home. Can't be arsed with driving in it.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've got a driving lesson later at just the time that the snow's going to come. I'm learning entirely in the dark as it is, but dark + snow should see me to being the best driver in the south.

[Offshore Toon]

Yeah, rain until the snow this evening, it seems. What a let down.

[Adamski]

I love the utter glee/amazement when it snows focused mainly on those three joyous little words...

" ...and it's lying!"

[Spikey M]

It's not meant to snow in the civilised parts of the country until tonight. Just a fuck tonne of rain until then.

[Spikey M]

Heathrow have cancelled 100 flights before a single flake has even touched the tarmac. :harold:

Accuweather has been hammering my phone with snow warnings all week supposedly from 10am. Lying shits.

[Disco]

I've always heard it referred to as 'settling' , although we very rarely get any down here.

[Spikey M]

Yeah, the Met have the warning from Mid-day till late tonight, but only meant to be from 6-7pm onwards here. Odds on that it stays as rain then freezes like a cunt though.

[Giggles]

No snow yet but I'm working down the docks today and with the wind blowing in off the sea you could grate cheese with my nipples.

[John]

They must be hideously misshapen.

[Giggles]

They must be hideously misshapen.

They fucking are today.

[Offshore Toon]

Had to walk back from the gym in the snow. It wasn't like a Christmas movie at all.

There have been flood warnings along the coast today, which means we've been treated to the annual parade of idiots who choose to live ten yards from the river/sea kicking off about the council and their insurance premiums on the local news.

'...and we're all just left wondering what, if anything, are the council doing to stop nature?'

[Disco]

Whatever the Environment Agency is calling itself these days its always been particularly inept so expecting them to fight Neptune does seem a little much.

Did anyone see the video of the bloke pushing a wheelchair bound person along a coastal path and almost getting washed away? :D

It's not got above freezing all day here, and the cunting wind chill made it feel like about -78.

It's -3c right now with an ice warning for the morning. Fuck off, mate.
