I didn't stand on the Railway platform because I drove up but I do recall it was so hot that the tarmac on the pavement was melting as I walked to the ground.

sidcow Posted February 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2022 I've got a tree surgeon coming on Friday to take down 2 conifers and give the apple tree a haircut. I called him yesterday to say I assume he wouldn't be coming because of the weather forecast. He said no, it would be fine and is still going to do the job Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Luckily, the roofer finished our roof repairs today bout 1600 just before the wind came. Bits and pieces were coming of with the lighter winds we had I think 2 weeks ago. Just found my wheelie on next doors drive, luckily the side of their car stopped it gong any further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meregreen Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I was driving in Tennessee, place called Cades cove, near Dollywood, in the Appalachians, about 20 years ago. A twister/tornado crossed the road in front of my car. Tore out trees , rained marble sized hailstones down on us. Scared the shit out of us. Park Rangers came in with chainsaws to clear the roads of large fallen trees. Got back to the hotel, turns out 3 twisters had come through the area. The power of nature can be terrifying.

It must be something like weather that will kill you. That’s the logical step up from a chance of danger to life. Its strangely quiet today between the 2 storms.

Seat68 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Wasn't confident about driving my motorhome to Moreton in the marsh tomorrow. It's fairly sensitive driving in mild wind, 60 mph and I will be fighting it's lane discipline. Cancelled this weekend as a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Just now, sidcow said: Someone should coin a phrase for that period of quite before a storm hits The short calm period after a storm has passed through but don’t be too complacent as there’s another storm coming in about 24 hours which threatens to be even worse? I like it, it’s catchy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Wonder if the weather will affect the Villa game on Saturday, could certainly make it tricky for those of us travelling long distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturdays weather forecast looks “normal” again. I think it’ll be ok (unless travelling on Friday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
