Bloody weather is going to drive me indoors!

[vickster]

Another shocking forecast for this weekend, wind and rain, joy...well at least it's not cold and there's none of that white crap coming!

Cant wait for the climate to change, I think we are all fed up of it the way it is right now. I want the climate to change in such a way we get a decent amount of sunny days but not so many we suffer drought.

Leaving Wales would probably increase your chances of sunny warm, dry days parts of Southern California have a climate you describe

Relentless rain here in not so sunny Cumbria - hideous forecast for the weekend.

Hibernating.

Looks like the weather will clear up mid-Sunday, will try and do some sort of half century.

Never mind driving me indoors; if this is the shape of things to come then this weather is going to drive me ABROAD!
Seriously, I can't cope with this never ending rain and wind; it depresses the hell out of me. I don't mind it now and again, but for the last 3 winters this has become the norm - a conveyor belt of storm systems coming in off the Atlantic with heavy rain and strong winds going on for months on end. We didn't even get much respite from it in the "summer" months this year. Bliddy awful place to live, and if I can fix things to make it possible, I am off to somewhere that outdoor activities are more pleasurable.

We had several hours of snow on Thurs evening, fortunately mostly gone by yesterday morning, but riding home yesterday evening very strong gusty wind felt perilous at times. It sounds even stronger this morning, I certainly won't be going out today.

[QUOTE 4040324, member: 9609"]I think we are about to have a weather event here. We have had a huge amount of rain this past few days and the rivers are massive. They are now forecasting another 3 inches over the next 24 hours - I'm thinking by the early hours of Sunday we could be seeing something quite extraordinary.[/QUOTE]

Local forecast last night was giving 200mm rain on the mountain tops over the weekend - our local river which is about 80m from the house (but 30m or so below us fortunately) is already in spate.

Bonkers here this morning - at chez Spokey Dokey we are in hunkering down mode this weekend.

Right now I'm thinking of doing something else other than cycling, weather shoot, forth bridge shut till at least new year all in all it's rubbish !

Not much better here. Rained all night and expected to rain for another 24 hours constant. Just going to head along by the river with the dog to see how it is looking. Pretty much decided to forget about cycling for the foreseeable future and even walking isn't a huge amount of fun the state the dog and myself are in at the end of every walk. Fedup.com

I like that - Fedup.com

My lovely, long gone dog, decided to jump into the local river in full spate. I expected him to whizz off to Morecombe Bay and then the Irish Sea but he ended up in a whirlpool a little down stream.

My heart was in my mouth - the river was roaring and impressively fast. He went round and round and round for ages trying to get out and finally clawed his way back up the rocky river side, calmly shook himself off and trotted on without a care in the world.

Dogs - nuts!

Have a good walk Mo'.

Oh dear. You poor downtrodden Norvern monkey's
That's the north/south devide right there.

Looks like the sun is coming out....nice.
Bloody windy though.

I think - although I wouldn't put my house on it - that we might, just MIGHT, get a few dry hours tomorrow. 40+ mph westerly winds though; so an eastbound cycle might be in order. Scotrail can do the hard bit......
