Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

There were a lot of Druids who were out of touch the this morning at Stoneheng, welcoming in the Summer Salstice:rolleyes:

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Just noticed this on the BBC website; batten down the hatches :eek:


People across the UK are being warned to brace themselves for unusually stormy weather as high winds and heavy rain are forecast for Sunday.
The storms - with winds which could reach 65mph across northern Britain - are expected to peak around midday. The worst affected areas are expected to be north Wales and northern England, but Northern Ireland and southern Scotland may also be affected.

Re: weather??
 

Nope ... got a great tv ... except that it seems to show a lot of crappy programs:( ... talking of which,I got the (mis)information from the Fox network news. I know I could check this out myself, but it's a gorgeous day and I'm feeling lazy: does latitude make any difference ... because you guys are quite a ways north of us?:confused:

Re: weather??
 

The ancient celts always began festivals at the sunset on the day before the main event - so you are both right

Re: weather??
 

it was the longest day yesterday BECAUSE ITS A LEAP YEAR :D:D:D:D

Re: weather??
 

I agree Flashy - if people posting had searched the 3rd link they would have seen that

people don't always read the links - so I often provide quotes from them

Re: weather??
 

oh its ok i said it was the 21st n'all, till my dad said 'its a leap year'

Re: weather??
 

ooooo that wind is getting strong int it?

unusual for this time of year!
I just hope me roses dont bloody uproot:eek:

Re: weather??
 

Just been up the street to the shop (Ok .. car), but there was leaves/branches just about everywhere. The co-op floor was covered; they have an automatic door and the leaves were getting drawn in.

Keeping me eye on me tiles ..... :(

Re: weather??
 

Well ive been to Blackpool Championship dog show today,the show ring was evacuated after several marquets uprooted the hospitality tent where they do their catering just uplifted the chef was running around on fire:(not a nice place to be at all.ive never in all my yrs of dog owning seen giant breed dogs being blown of their legs.came out of showground and there was huge tree branches everywhere.

Re: weather??
 

The wind has steadily got worse as the day has wore on, looked like we may have heavy rain earlier too, maybe the wind kept it off, be nice if the wind dropped for morning.

Re: weather??
 

Colne gala was today.... my friend was supposed to be playing there and apparently the wind tipped the stage so it was cancelled

Re: weather??
 

The wind is awful nearly got blown away walking on Blackburn Road. Supposed to be better weather tomorrow.

Re: weather??
 

it blew me down sandy lane this afternoon (saw you in town too this aft Bernie;))

Re: weather??
 

Abot half twoish?

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

stupid wind (that'll be the beans ;) )is stopping sky from working :(

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Well it just goes to show that people really do like talking about the weather...over 16000 views and over 1000 posts on here:rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

OMG its chucking it down!!! was nice earlier... glad i didnt put my washing out now!

Re: weather??
 

Half an hour later and its sunshinin ema, what crazy weather we have in this country:confused:

Re: weather??
 

Its God helping me with my diet... i was just going to go and buy a butty when it started chucking it down :D

Re: weather??
 

Long Range Forecast. there will be "Weather" all over the uk, fer the next 2 weeks at least.:D

Re: weather??
 

What are you trying to say cashy, the end is nigh:D:D:D

Re: weather??
 

Re: weather??
 

Think of the bright side of it!

At least we dont have to water the garden;)

Re: weather??
 

Thats no good for me panther I ain't got a garden:(

Re: weather??
 

Of course: it's a safe topic. You can meet a total stranger in the street, nod, and say "nice day, eh" (you can only use "eh" if you are a Canuck) and everything is cool. The weather is not divisive like sex, politics, and religion. You don't get suicide bombers blowing up people who prefer drizzle to hail.:eek:

And in Kingston today: 26 degrees .... 5 degrees cooler by the lake ... sunny, with a few light clouds.

Re: weather??
 

hey!! we have a complete log here of last years weather :D

Re: weather??
 

With the weather we've had I'm sure no one will want to trawl back through the last 12 months ema:eek:

Re: weather??
 

how come when it rains some women look like the winners of a wet t-shirt competition and I look like ive been rescued by a life guard?

I had an appointment at ty's school today, just as i set off it started pouring it down and i had to walk up there (half hour walk) i walked into school and was greeted with..... your wet...
erm yes............its raining!

was also invited to the park earlier by a friend that thought it was sunny and didnt believe me when i said it was persisting it down lol

Re: weather??
 

How do you fit in a bowl of cereal:dancedog:

Re: weather??
 

I've been informed that the forecast is pretty dire for July and August.:(

Still, things in the garden are very lush, and I've just harvested some big juicy strawberries for tea.:)

I'm planning to spend another month in warmer climes again this winter, so at least my summer clothes will see the light of day.:D

Re: weather??
 

Where do you mean?
In the shreddies...In the Doors....In the Fan? :hothothot

Re: weather??
 

I think the weather just says it all about this country at the moment....DIRE:mad:

Re: weather??
 

Shreddies are a breakfast cereal, never mind get back to your over priced rum.:tongueout

Re: weather??
 

If this picture transfer works, can see how well stuff grows over this side of the pond with said weather:

Brian

Re: weather??
 

Does your weather help the dog grow too Brian .... LOL.

Re: weather??
 

Yup, sure does Kate. The more green stuff and bugs the chickens eat, the more they "fertilize" the yard. The dogs enjoy this fertilizer as well as sneaking in and stealing a few eggs each day!:rolleyes::p

Brian

Very cool that I finally got some pictures in. I'm fairly stoke about it!

Re: weather??
 

Re: weather??
 

You fit it in after your first cup of coffee and before the bacon and eggs;)

Re: weather??
 

Hot and muggy here with a good chance of a storm today .... but, like Virginia, things are lush and green and our urban forest seems to have recovered from the beating it took in the ice strorm of 1998.

Re: weather??
 

Just got back from a week in Turkey, wish i was still there. This weather stinks, got a case full of dirty washing and am not even bothering to unpack until it improves.

Re: weather??
 

The washing won't improve till you unpack and wash it.:hidewall:

Re: weather??
 

LOL. There's no way i'm putting it all in the dryer. Besides think kids have used every towel and item of clothing in the house, but couldn't find the washer. Besides we don't really need the summer clothes.

Re: weather??
 

Anybody know what the weathers supposed to be like this afternoon?
Any info gratefully received!

Re: weather??
 

Sunny, light wind from the north west, a few clouds, and temps in the mid twenties .... about five degrees cooler by the lake .... I hope this helps:D:D:D

Re: weather??

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

We are looking at temps in the mid to high 20s ... but with Kingston there is always the following: about 5 degrees cooler by the lake, which is where I'm going to be this afternoon ... either by it, or on it.

Funny thing about Niagara Falls ... I always have this great need to go to the bathroom when I'm there:D

I actually read an Ossy joke somewhere about Niagara Falls. A tour guide mentioned to the group of limey tourists that millions of gallons of water went over the falls every minute; a tourist from Ossy looked at the falls and said: "Aye, that's 'cause there's nowt theer to stop it." My apologies if, after all these years, I've butchered the dialect.:D

Re: weather??
 

announcement i heard in ASDA today.........

"you probably wont believe this but the weather forecast for tomorrow is sun! (insert shoppers laughter lol) we have one patio set left so we are reducing it from £150 to £100... please go to customer services"
