    It will be an interesting commute this morning. One hell of a gale blowing in East England.

    Rather unsurprisingly it’s come to nothing here.

    SFA up here in North Yorkshire. After the forecasts yesterday morning, I was expecting trampoline-a-geddon. Unusual for them to get the track wrong so close to the event.

    It’s as windy here in Norfolk as Windy.com said it would be i.e. blowing a hoolie in the old nautical vernacular 😯

    It’s just wet and a bit cold here in Macclesfield. So business as usual. No snowmaggedon. I think really windy is the only weather type I don’t like cycling in.

    Two trees, four candles and some hoes, no o’s on the line. No trains

    30m drive to other line. Took three others. None offered to contribute to parking at new station which was a bit ungrateful

    Standing room only. The joy of commuting.

    Which lines are shut? My missus is currently heading towards that London from Leeds (or not.)

    Just spoke to the missus in Halesworh, (I am currently in a scorching hot South Africa) blown the roof off of the shed, and gate off it hinges.

    Is that the landlords responsibility to repair, or ours?

    Couple of trees down on my way into Cambridge, but nice tail wind for me on the bike. Hope it drops before home time.

    Judging by the noise at night in our pretty well sound-insulated house, one of the most sustained windy nights I can remember since living here.

    Blowing a gale here in the early hours, now almost dead calm and blue skies.

    Up by 4am because the wind was so loud. I was awake anyway but then our daughter woke up too, so we were downstairs with a cuppa by about 4:30.
    Lots of wheelie bin carnage down are road and plenty of routes are truck because of trees down.

    I’m on a first aid course in Peterborough today and sailed in (not literally). So early in fact I have treated myself to a McDs brekkie…

    It’s as windy here in Norfolk as Windy.com said it would be

    Yeah, but Notwindy.com said it wouldn’t be.

    So how are we supposed to know.

    Kept me up at night with all the noise went on for hours and my wheelie bin was blown over… That must be some kind of universal measurement for **** windy

    Some trees down around Mansfield blocking roads apparently.

    Might be deliberate, mind, to keep them up there.

    I’m in West Norfolk and we’ve had 9 trees down just in my village, route to work in Norwich was interesting with 30 metre long taking up the first lane of the A47, but all i can think is…woodstore will be restocked at weekend!

    South Norfolk, apparently lines and trees down everywhere. I’ve been busying sorting my own stuff out, rabbit hutch over 3 rabbits running about scared in their pen. Fence panels started to get a bit wobbly so all fixed, trim off conservatory secured back on. Might now go to work and sort everybody else’s problems out.

    Trees on the line. Trains cancelled. Back to bed for a commute’s worth of sleep. WFH.

    A self-proclaimed amateur meteorologist on Mumsnet predicted it on Sunday evening, whilst the Beeb didn’t see it coming at all.

    I let the dog out at 4am, had to lean on the door to close it, bit like a wind powered poltergeist pushing on it from the other side.

    I don’t claim to be even an amateur meteorologist, but if you can follow a synoptic map and use some common sense then you can often get a far better weather forecast than the BBC provides.

    #thoughtsandprayers to all the wheelie bin owners out there.
    we had bin day yesterday so all the bins were empty = more bin carnage but less rubbish strewn.

    And there’s a lone wolf on the loose in Berkshire. 😯 Didn’t bother him!
