Until it rains and turns into a HUGH slush puppy.

the tree has been sorted now been eaten by the tree machine by hyndburn homes machine.......getting worse out there my garden furniture has flown round the garden...my wishing well has been blown down my grey bin out back garden is no longer standing & can stay that way.& finally i picked a beautiful red rose from garden .
It's very wild out here. I could hardly stand up when I went out and an empty compost bin has paid us a visit - presumably come down from the allotments.
Wow, now that's some wicked wind eh Mick? How far off is that from Accrington?
I wish we could get some snow. It's finally been cold enough -2 to 2C (I think). It was nice being able to work on cutting and splitting wood when it's nice and cold like this. As I guess you may know, most of US has been hit pretty hard by snow and ice. Not sure if Billcat has got hit hard or not.

I think our roof will need looking at after this litle lot. 
Looks like it is still warmer in Accy than here. This morning, it was 19 degrees F (about -7 C). They're promising us some "Wintry mix" tonight, a not-so-lovely euphemism for a slushy belnd of snow and rain. Ugh! Don't mind snow, don't mind rain, hate the slop in between!
I left my office in Warrington at 1.30 p.m. today. I had to get across a wide road to the car park I was using. The wind was so strong I almost fell so I grabbed some railings and stood for a minute getting my breath back. A young chap, waiting in his car at the traffic lights, wound his window down and asked me where I was going and did I need a lift! 
When I got to the car park - large and very open - I spent 2 minutes clinging to someone's Ford Mondeo as I couldn't walk straight and I really was in danger of being blown off my feet (I'm still recovering from flu and not feeling very strong). I got to my car by grabbing every other one I passed and then I had a job to open the car door as the wind was blowing it shut!
There are large branches down all over the roads here. The Mersey is in danger of bursting its banks and the traffic is horrendous as Thelwall Viaduct is closed and all the HGVs are going through Warrington.
On the whole, I'd rather have snow.
