River's over the road here now.

It's got pretty bad here now - live high up on the south-western facing slopes of Snowdonia (bonkers place to live). I'm kind of used to bad weather living up here in the mountains, but it is now really bad by even by our standards. Definately going to lose some slates, and I can hear other stuff going outside, but I tried to batten everything else down so I hope it will survive. I'm here on my own and I must admit I'm getting a bit scared, electric has gone off a couple of times and the wind is screaming ...

My dog is pretty freaked too now, so I guess I'm going to cuddle up on the sofa with her with a torch to hand. Not much I can do at the moment, just wait til morning and inspect the damage then.

Woah, Sue, that's going to be a rough night. Good luck, take care, and I hope any damage is minimal. Pretty windy here in N. Wilts, but I think the worst is well north of us. Lucky we're well inland and not too exposed.

it seems to be dying down a bit. maybe I'm in the eye....

been dry all day in the hometown of 'singletrack' !!! just started raining at tea time, windy abit now.... but yep been dry all day..

Its dark ere.

Set off for a ride at 16:20 in Rochdale - soon started to pee it down but not really windy. Rain has gone now but wind picking up...

trapped under a glacial moraine here in London

Hamish/bassspine: Yes we had it rough earlier, half way up the Teign Valley side. Twas mad coming home ~ 5ish, roads getting swamped with run-off, debris from trees all over road, then the winds built up to really strong about 'Archers time'..
Sounds quiet at the mo' but wondering what'll happen around sparrowfart ( 6am-ish, accoridng to weather man )
Sounds like a weekend for staying in and building up the woodburner!

Pretty rough in the concrete and brick jungle of London

Its still P*****ing down on "gods green acre" (Wirral) and has been almost non stop for days!!
I love the mud me but even I cant summon up enthusiasm for an early morning poodle.
At least my lights have come to take my mind of things!!!

Pretty bad down in the South too.

its not even 2012 yet, whats happening!!!

Rough night here in Abergorlech. We are lucky as the river is down about 5m from the house, but its very high and very loud.

Not looking forward to driving to work, or work itself as a postman.
I can imagine that lots of rivers are out.

Err, leaves on trees aren't even moving in Cardiff 😕

Right then. CyB, here we come.

This should be a good one 😯

The place could be closed - call ahead!

Wonderful night woken up every few hours by things bouncing around outside. Still too manky halfway up a mountain in north snowdonia for me to be that inclined to take a look. Given my headcold has returned with a vengence, I think I'll give what was possibly my last ride in north wales for a very long time a miss 🙁

You leaving for the 'frozen north' soon?

Sue_w.. Did u make it through the night 😕

Morning all!
looked out the window at around 6am, dead quiet, calm.
Slept in a bit bit it's building again as forecast, just seems to be passing through later than predicted. Got noticably windier and wet over last 1 1/2 hours and now dark so have lights on!
Might have to resist temptation and go for tea and hot toast with Gentleman's relish......mmmmmmmm!!!!
so much for " Sunny Devon"!!!!!!!!
Take care to all tis a bit silly out there at present
cheers

erbii - yes I made it through the night - similar to Zokes it was a night of crashing sounds and howling wind - got even less sleep as the dog joined me on the bed (which she's never normally allowed to do) and quivered all night cos she was scared. Most things are intact this morning - some stuff has been 'distributed' around the field, the electricity's back, but still giving it a bit of a flicker now and again.

Just a heads up for anyone in Snowdonia, or tavelling to / through north wales - the road into / out of Llanberis is closed in both directions, so best to choose a different route.

Glad to hear. I bet it is quite impressive up there.. With all the peaks and wind!

Good to hear you made it through unscathed, Sue. It was pretty wet and wild here in North Wilts this afternoon, but not too much damage, it seems.

not a squeak here in West Yorkshire. A tad wet, yes, but there's more wind in my guts
