Storm Imogen

[fossyant]

Seems to have missed us up here. Been wet and windy, but what's new, that's Manchester.

This is what you've been waiting for.

The second crossing is still open as far as I know, must be a tad breezy on it just now though, better check the trains, some delays reported, thirty minutes, and the
usual fallen trees, flooded roads to be aware of...

Currently the old bridge is open for cars if going westward.... I'm assuming that they think it's more of a risk with the wind behind you that it's closed to all vehicles the other way.

*Flying trampoline update alert*

This is a picture of a trampoline that made it onto a neighbouring house's conservatory roof.

It is ( ironically) in a road called Gale Moor Avenue, in Gosport. Ohhhh the horror

I think you win so far, though we have had a gazebo crash into a police car in Devon.

I hope it's not as windy this Friday - I'll be on a plane to Paris instead.

Me too.. Mrs Ian pleaded with me not to ride in today. The winds and noise last night was horrendous. This morning the winds have abated but looking like it's going to be a bit naughty later on.
I did see a good few cyclists walking from the station to work though.

Mrs. 66 reporting it's "very windy" in WW. I feel better now.

Well, yesterday the Met Office forecast noon winds of 39mph and gusts of 63mph, and at 11.50 it was actually 36mph and 54mph. Not too bad, at least from the forecasters' point of view.

A tree came down in my road, I did wonder why it was a bit quiet this morning

It's almost exactly two years ago that we had similar weather, and I was reduced to driving to London to catch Eurostar because of flooding and a tree on the line. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/interesting/2014-janwind I hope it's not as windy this Friday - I'll be on a plane to Paris instead.

If it is as windy, you'll probably be extricating yourself from in upside down aircraft, in a hedge.

That's it - the end of the world is definitely nigh - someone's umbrella broke in Exeter...

Fencing companies are going to do well this week!

That's it - the end of the world is definitely nigh - someone's umbrella broke in Exeter...

We're all doomed!

We're all doomed!

If this doesn't make the national headlines, it'll be proof that the media is completely London-centric.
