Stay safe everyone xxLove from Rosie xHi RosieBeen v windy up in the Fenlands of Cambridgeshire as well. Glad I stripped the back of the truck down ! I have some doubt the old canvas on the cargo body would have stayed in one piece. Neighbours fence was swaying madly, but amazingly is still standing !

I was also concerned about the cubes truck canvas as it would have bourne the full brunt of the wind last night but it all is one piece today, although I haven't actually looked inside yet!!!!!!!!!! There is another storm due in on Thursday/Friday. The tides down here are on the high side at the mo too (although not as high as they can be) hold on tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride folks.

Tony B Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 We've had a fair blow in our bit last night and today. The local roads through Paul's Wood were covered in debris, and a couple of big tress down in the local estate. Jersey got badly hammered as well. Gale warnings still on Met office for South East, and chance of snow over weekend. (WhoPPEEE!) If I don't get a chance to try my new snow chains I will be a very unhappy teddy.

Tony B Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Be honest Tony, what you're really after is a couple of days off work:D Actually I've got the next 5 days off! Long weekeend rostered and a couple of lieu days I was owed. Last year we were off the road for only 1 day, mind you it made for some exciting driving, I needed a change of underpants on a couple of ocassions. :-D One of the guys, being sensible stopped at the top of Jewel Box Hill , which is on the outskirts of Biggin Hill. It's a narrow one in four, down into the valley then up another one in four. He got out to have a closer look and as he perred down, the bus started to overtake him! Just as well he was able to get back on and stop it, otherwise he could have hit the bus already stranded at the bottom. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosie Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 snow has been forecast down here overnight, at the moment it is chucking it down with rain so even if it does snow it wont lay, unless it freezes overnight I guess!

private mw Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 it reminds me of last year but not as bad yet ! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Freezing hard up here at 7pm after rain so it could get a bit slippery but the bulk of the snow is forecast to just miss us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosie Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 still pouring down here and actually seems to have warmed up a bit, not sure that is a good sign though. Doubt any snow would hang around now. Mind you havent actually looked outside, they could be massive snowflakes landing and not large blobs of rain! :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
