Storm Eunice

[Polarbear]

So a thread to show how it's affecting you.

For me, Ive been on my boat overnight but nothing bad YET. They are saying midday for us when it's getting to its worst. I'm moored on springs

At the moment it's hardly rocking the boat but I expect that will change soon.

What a week to be replacing a fence and digging out for a new shed base. High winds and pissing rain.
Back garden looks like the Somme minus the corpses. FML. Still at least I bought all my panels before the inevitable
shortage of them soon after this storm hits. Windy but dry and sunny here in Bristol.

Just been out in my slippers, usually it's socks, but I thought I might take the added precaution going to put rubbish in the bin. I need to go shopping later, so will wear my neck tube while I'm on the bike, you never know.

Bit of snow up here but nothing worrying, no wind or rain...so far anyway.

What do you mean 'moored on springs'?

[yen_powell]

It's a race here right now. Will the dustmen collect my bin before the wind picks up properly and empties it down the street instead.

Patio furniture cover came off during Dudley earlier this week, so that's all now in the back of the garage for the time being. Also taken the bird feeders and hanging baskets down. Other than that, we're just watching the dog have the same shit 3 times.

My as yet unfitted brand new panels are now jammed between two walls (after going over once in a big gust where they
were this morning)with a bag of sand on top of them, hopefully they will stay put there. I've put my wheelbarrow upside
down and put a bag of sand on that, the good side of this that the old fence had already been removed because this
wind certainly would have had it down, it was long overdue for replacement. I'm getting some bungees out of the van to
tighten the cover on my scoot next, it's acting like a sail and who knows how much windier it might get today. Then I'm
off to dig a hole for a fence post, a nice wind friendly job to keep things moving along.

Apparently peaking here at the moment, just had to rescue a couple of the larger flowerpots I thought would be OK. Nuffink to write home about really.

Wife's pointed me at a neat looking website :-

Past few days its' been windy as fuck up here, trampolines getting blown about cunts back gardens. I've put my two bikes up in between my parents house and their conservatory so they don't get blown over or damaged by flying debris as they are sheltered in the aclove.

Was snowing today and everyone is shitting the bed and pissing their pants trying to drive in the slush. When I drive in Canada people just get one with it, put on snow tyres and be done with it. Here in the UK everyone struggles and can't drive worth a fuck in the snow/ slush.

So far (hopefully) all we have had so far is that the wind has thrown our wheelie bins around the garden.
I laid them down and put a paving slab inside each one, problem solved.

It was quite bad here yesterday also.
I had bait in the fridge to use up , so I went fishing .
Not my brightest idea!, I spent a lot of the time chasing various items of kit down the riverbank .

I’m hoping tomorrow (Saturday) willbe a bit easier as I have to travel from Norfolk to Ipswich and back.
Just to be on the safe side, I will put some drinking water and an extra coat in the car in case nature leaves me stranded .

The one time I'm glad my shed is full of crap as it probably would have blown away The BBQ and incinerator bin have toppled out the back and the garden bin (empty) out the front has had enough and keeled over.

Glad I moved my bike last night else it'd be embedded in the front lawn by now

Two houses within about 50 yards of where I live have lost ridge tiles. Fortunately neither is my house.
