Well, we're about 15 feet *below* sea level here...

Let's hope the pump stations don't break.

I think you've just brought this thread to its lowest point. Good work!

UK snow forecast: Shock chart shows HUGE BAND of snow set to engulf Britain

BRITAIN is set to face a fresh onslaught of snow wreaking havoc through the south of England and Wales as storm Emma moves in with new snowfalls and freezing temperatures.

Home is fine, but work is at sea level (about 100 yards across a caravan site from it) and my office is on the ground floor.

 

[classic33]

It's snowing again.
Forcast was for a clear sky and temperatures just below freezing.

Hmm. Swim to work?

These are available in Sydney, Australia, so shall I get you one?

The cycle, that is, not the woman.

 

[perplexed]

Flooded at the bottom of my garden in 2007. That was the only time although it sometimes gets squishy down there. Water table is quite low so squishy might be the extent this time. However - out in the valley I expect the usual suspect roads will go under.

I recommend Hornbeam for sucking up water in a wet area - worked a treat on our damp patch...


We're at 597 feet or 182 metres above sea level and well up a hill.

Interesting thank you. Normally Salix (willow) of some cultivar or another is used for difficult areas. I remember being told one decent tree can ‘drink’ up to 200 litres a day.

*goes off to google these facts*

Quite high for Lincolnshire, 35ft above, so no need for the life jackets yet.

 

[Vantage]

I suspect I'll be ok

Isn't Willow normally considered a tree of last resort? (well, above Sycamore, but then everything is)

Depends what you mean by last resort. Willow is used down on the Somerset Levels to help hold the ‘drains’ together, which down there are actually a properly engineered network of ditches and mini-canals. More local to me they are used on floodplains. For example, one local school is built on a floodplain and the architects and landscapers have used Salix to keep the playground from turning into a bog.
