I'm stunned we didn't lose power. It was sparking up the lines.
Bin status: Tipped and the lid's snapped off.

There isn't much better than walking the dog in the snow. Not a fucker about.
Wind is gone and back to muck and rain.
This weather is beyond grim.
Is Barra the female version of Barry? It can fuck off either way.
I've got to help a mate carry a fridge and a sofa out of his flat at 6pm, just as the winds peak here. 50-60mph winds are not sofa carrying conditions.
The Met Office and their Irish and Dutch counterparts have divided up storm naming amongst themselves and this is what we ended up with:
It is an all time classic though Ian.
Pre-millenium bug
The gap in time between WW2 ending and when I was born is now a fair bit less than the gap in time between when I was born and now.
I'm not at that stage yet....
My birth is closer to the Napoleonic Wars than it is to my death. Or, at least, here's hoping.
How old are you hoping to live to?
Other than "too old."
This one was British named apparently. UK Met Office involved too.

It's a shame we'll probably not get to see Storm Pól. Sounds like a Norse god.
What a lovely time for someone to break down on the A1 and back all the traffic up for four miles.
I can’t stop thinking about Blindboy’s “a kid named Barra shit in a ball pool” Barra story whenever it’s mentioned

Mid arvo and my bench top is currently 33*.
The western sun is going to melt my thongs into the footpath come January/February.
Lol having the Summer Olympics here in ten years time what a stupid decision.

It’s mean to be snowing on Christmas Day here and for 5 days after. Don’t think I’ve ever seen it snow then.
It's fucking snowing.
I'd a cunt of a job getting the van out in it this morning.
-17 tomorrow and 30cm of snow on Sunday. I just went to do my shopping. I will not go out until Monday the earliest.
Fuck shoveling snow.
One of the best things about the UK, or at least the south, is (presumably because it's a wee island) the temperature resolutely refuses to go below about minus 2, even in weeks-long cold snaps. I can't remember it ever being below minus 4, even once.
In 2010 it did, but yeah it is pretty great.
That said, I've had to de-ice the car every morning for about 2 weeks now and that can fuck off. More global warming ASAP.
The start of last year in Scotland, we were snowed in pretty much for 2 weeks.
-18 this morning and my heater cannot keep up. It was nice meeting you.

Where the fuck is it -18?
Quite common over there away from the coasts. Too cold all winter, too hot all summer. Mental country.
In the great state of Pennsylvania.
I don't know how the Amish and their no technology nonsense manage.
Is that in real money or Fahrenheit?
I also always thought you lived in Texas for some reason.
If it's Fahrenheit then he's not joking. RIP indeed.
Celsius, It was like 2 Fahrenheit I think.
I think Foe spent some time in Texas, right? I have been there, but never lived there. The trajectory so far has been Florida, New York, Missouri, Pennsylvania.
I have yet to live in a properly insulated house, but I hope others are better. Not sure though, since it is all built of wood for some reason. You just have the heater running 24/7 half of the year and the AC the other half. I probably get to turn it off like five weeks per year during the glorious Fall days.
The wind is running riot in Yorkshire.
I can only imagine the triggering that 'Storm Malik' will be doing.
That's what's wrong with this country, we let these foreign storms come over here and cause property damage that could have been done by a good old fashioned blustery day. It's a fucking disgrace.
We need to be turning them back at Calais.
Given the above list of storm names (and I thought the idea was that they go up the alphabet so how are we at 'M' already?) how have we ended up with Storm Malik?
Anyway, if we were going off our list, and we were at M, how the hell are we saying Méabh - mave like wave? Meeb! It's probably Simon or something.
