Batten Down The Hatches: Winter 2013/14 Chat

[Captain Jack]

I haven't seen snow all winter... just rain, rain, more rain and even more rain. Surprised my dish's kerb stone mounts haven't suck into the ground yet.

 

[satelliteman]

Quite a clear day here so far, until later when the wind batters us.

 

[Channel Hopper]

Can somebody take pictures of the snow and post here ?

 

[MARK]

Red warning now force 12 gales in the n/w, might nip down the beach,see what the tides are...

 

[Lazarus]

Might be even stronger than that: Beaufort Scale stops at 12!

Mind you, that's still one better than Spinal Tap.

We had a light dusting

Darn, forgot to take a couple of pics, I meant to do so this morning, but the rain came and washed it way, that damned rain!!

It's coming down enough that there's puddles forming out the front, we don't get puddles there, we're all doomed...

Bad winds here, got home to find 1 fence panel broken and 2 out of 3 bins blown over.
No chance of repairing the fence tonight, I'll have to wait until the wind stops.
At least my dish is OK !!!!!!

 

[Lazarus]

That's the main thing - keeping the dishes safe!

Wish it was just a fence ..
Not lost any dishes yet ..but 2 slates already in bits in the back garden ..stripped and sent flying like frisbees..
..and we ain't reached the peak yet..
Get used guys ..as I keep saying..
THIS is the new norm.

Really bad gusts of wind here at the moment very bad

 

[Mickha]

The wind just completed the hat trick !!!!!!
The third bin, for recycling, just went over, collection tomorrow, so I've just been clearing all the mess up.
I can imagine a number of people, especially Sky subscribers, losing signal tonight, as the dishes move, if not their dish completely !!!!!!!!
I wonder how many dishes A/S can find abandoned tomorrow, to add to his dish garden

 

[Lazarus]

I've currently got four*25kg Bags of Sand holding my TD110 mounting slab down!

Anyone know where Parliament will be reconstituted if it ever becomes untenable in London? Is it going to be Barnsley?

Well in wont be Swinton ..cos I'd certainly flame the bstds if they came here..

 

[Vipersan]

...and another slate becomes intimate with the concrete paving slabs..
Just praying the rain don't get in ..and I get to keep my ceilings..

 

[Lazarus]

My ridge tiles have need re-dressing ever since we moved here, ten years ago.

Never got a Round Tuit, but haven't had any leaks, either, thankfully.

 

[sonnetpete]

Was really bad here about three hours ago, with torrential rain driven on by storm force winds. It's passed over now though.......oh and the dishes are all intact....

 

[Analoguesat]

Stay safe everyone - its nowt but a bit breezy here this evening!

 

[Analoguesat]

Wowzer - just been outside to get some coal and its completely calm here atm!
