Pleasant day here forecast for Thursday where I am. I wouldn’t mind some

snow to be fair although it will dampen my new found zest for exercise!

Think it's higher up than where you are in fairness. 

Could test that new motor in a rally-esque speed trial.

I had a mishap in an Audi A5 when the beast from the east hit. If it snows I will be leaving the car parked where it is!

Always think back to when I was picking up my mate on the way to the match. Parked on the steep bit of Breightmet Drive. Snow/ice everywhere. 

Got to the front door to be told the car was moving- slid away of its own accord and into a garden wall.

Lad was little and in the back in his child seat- me running (somehow) alongside trying to get in- but thump!

Always wary now.

Will be amazed if we dont get flooded here again.

Grim as fuck. Sand bags at the ready.

Was looking at some of the defences the shops in Hebden Bridge have installed on their doors. Similar things available on garden gates/walls.

Could you make use of something like them?

Yeah saw those, great idea.

Hopefully it wont come to it but I've got 20 or so sand bags Ive kept behind my shed ready for deployment. 

Checked all grids outside yesterday and all seemed clear, that was a major factor last time.

Took the pooch towards wyre estuary earlier, the tributaries are full to bursting, including one that runs at back of my house in which all the street grids in the area run into. 

Be reet 🙈

Once had a lab when we were young.

Took her out when it was like this. The local Brook runs through a tunnel under the disused railway line. It had swollen massively and was higher than the tunnel top, with loads of floating rubbish bobbing around on the surface.

Daft dog walked straight into the sea of plastic, clearly unaware of what was underneath. Fortunately managed to grab her before she was sucked through.

Proper shit me up that did.

 

Woken up by a few drips of water on the head, jumped out of bed and had to go tracing a leak from the roof in the attic, that was fun at 3am. Kinell.

Nightmare isn't it? 

Gave us yellow-amber warning for rain today (South Lincolnshire-Cambridgeshire) but nothing. 

Just got down from a roof on build we're doing on top of a hill... it was bloody windy

How I imagine @miamiwhite on a roof in this weather

Yeah, kinda. Apart from the last 24 hours, it's not really been stormy or perpetually rainy, at least locally

I fucking jinxed it

You did.

Local news last night had Bolton (53mm) as one of the top rainfall areas. Only some of the usual suspects (in Cumbria etc) had had higher levels.

That surprised me, as it hadn't seemed that bad.

I reckon my local stream is now around 6 inches off Desmond levels. Twatting dog took great delight in lobbing his ball in.
