Once again we are being hit by gale force winds and news reports of people injured...or worse across the UK. Here in my little part of the country (Norfolk) the wind is howling as I type....but I know others are getting worse than we are here !!
Stay safe and warm guys !!!

hello Jan, here we have had a really bad evening yesterday and a mix of sun and gales today. All calm now though although they say there is more on the way tomorrow. Good luck.

To all KP friends in UK especially those that are having gales etc. stay safe, and keep warm, my thoughts are with you all.

 

[boring knit]

thanks valjean. Just keeping warm indoors and fingers crossed. Lots of branches down. Still when it calms they'll make good logs for the log burner. Hope everyone keeps safe in the towns.

Hang in there! It was really cold and VERY windy here on the east coast of the U.S too!

Of course I want all my UK friends safe and warm. Hope you are all taking advantage of being home bound and doing lots of knitting to keep your mind off the weather...

Had to go to work yesterday,(walking) during the worst of the gales here, lots of trees down and blocking roads,some flooding.......the council are going to be busy clearing up the damage. Had calmed down by home time but the wind is getting up again as I type and oh joy I have to walk in it again :thumbdown:

 

[JanRxxx]

Yep, I nearly got blown off my feet yesterday morning too Lots of fences and roofing felt , dustbins etc strewn all over the place Lets hope it calms itself down soon !!!

Hi all, yes its blowing gales in Devon too. We had such a downpour yesterday, that the rain was running off the fields, into the barn, and under the straw bales and out the other side...... a real deluge. Nearly blew me off my feet when I walked the dog. It has subsided a bit today, so hope it dies down across the country too. Next week is supposed to be better they say!!!! lets hope they're right. Stay safe all x

It was horrendous in the north east too yesterday, I had to nip to the shops with the dogs and the 3 of us were battling it, i'd felt so exhausted by the time i got back, you'd think i'd ran a marathon hehe.. I feel heartily sorry for those in scotland as their gusts were up to 100 miles an hour at one point

 

[Joanna88]

it has quietened down here in North Essex,yesterday was horrendous,high winds and heavy rain,the wind brought trees down in Warwickshire where one of daughters lives...I worry,they have a 100ft.Redwood in their garden,but fortunately just many branches down,the boys large trampoline completely overturned...why do children think it is all fun' a belated Happy New Year to all.

We in Ireland always get the weather a day before it hits England, so if you want to know what you're getting, just check our forecast! Today its calm, raining heavily and cold. Not much to look forward to. lol

 

[grandma jean]

[Chrissilizzi]

The Northeast coast of England also gets it very bad, especially the gale force winds, which are rampant as I type. Quite often they come over from Siberia, so you can imagine how cold it gets when they are raging. I do not go out when they are this bad, just as well I shop for a week at a time.

Yes, all please be safe & warm. I am in south Florida for the winter and yesterday, we had gale-force winds as well, not to mention freezing in many areas. Hopefully, the crops will be ok as the growers took precautions. I'm hoping for the best for our gardenias as they were just beginning to bloom earlier in the week.

Its been calmer today, but very cold.....Wind is now picking up again out there
