mr_busdriver 16-01-2008, 18:53 me for starters, this flippin mild wet horrible weather just completely hacks me off, every time you go out you get drenched.
Oh for the traditional winter, frosty mornings and SNOW
Who else feels the same?
BoroughGal 16-01-2008, 18:59 Me. I'm waiting to get a leaking roof fixed and it can't be done until it's all cleared up and the tiles are dry. I can't get the carpet down in the attic or do the remainder of the plastering & painting until the roof is done. Argghhh!

Im tired of opening the curtains and seeing yet another miserable day....
Roll on when I open the curtains and see the beach..... and sun.....

**spiral** 16-01-2008, 19:10 And then in summer (hopefully) it will be 'who's sick of all this sun?' We'll be begging for rain so that the hose pipe ban can be lifted and our skin can recover from all the blisters :cool:
czechroman 16-01-2008, 19:10 I am, whatever happened to proper winters. God im not even that old and can rememeber the cold snowy winter days of the 80s/90s!
I can even remember ice on the inside of the windows before double glazed!:o
mr_busdriver 16-01-2008, 19:19 I keep promising to take the children sledging. Partly for my enjoyment.
The Children is our family are really young and as such, probably don't know what snow is, never built a snowman, or, as , mentioned ever been sledging.
Jason Bourne 16-01-2008, 19:22 At least there's no chance of a hosepipe ban... not that we'll be doing any gardening in the forseeable future!
Minesadouble 16-01-2008, 19:23 I'll be glad when it stops ....I need to find my umbrella :mad: ... at the moment I'm walking to School and around work with a Dora the Explorer one :blush: needless to say I'm turning heads lol :D
ed9morelies 16-01-2008, 21:01 January's awful in general, but this one in particular.
My cameras keep getting rained on. :-(
Absolutely!
I much prefer some hard cold and snow to the current rain.
Yesterday (Tuesday) morning was so horrible and miserable that had I not had an appointment to go to I think I'd have called in a duvet day! :)
sparklygem 16-01-2008, 21:08 Im fed up of it too :(

The last time we had rain like this it was June...busting out all over ;)
Greybeard 16-01-2008, 21:18 January's awful in general, but this one in particular.
Not as wet as last January yet when we had 212 mm rain, only 120mm so far this month with 15 days to go :)
TBH I'd rather rain than snow!!
I hate it because I always end up slipping over and making an idiot of myself!!
Happens every year!
:rolleyes:
mr_busdriver 16-01-2008, 21:51 ITS GARBAGE.
Wet --- on a night out
Wet --- Going to the shops
Wet --- Just Wet
Just seen the weather forecast, more dam rain. For gods sake its winter, we want snow.
Why can't we have a dome built over Sheffield and Rotherham like they did in The Simpsons movie :hihi:
Jabberwocky 16-01-2008, 22:33 I love the rain and always have. It can rain permanantly as far as Im concerned!
barmyowls 17-01-2008, 00:41 I love the rain and always have. It can rain permanantly as far as Im concerned!

beddoe79 17-01-2008, 08:10 At least there's no chance of a hosepipe ban... not that we'll be doing any gardening in the forseeable future!
I bet we do - they'll probably say we've had the wrong type of rain or something.
trainzfast 17-01-2008, 08:23 we ought to think ourselfs lucky, only a few miles south everything is flooded fields houses rivers burstin their banks (trent) at least the resovoirs should be full when summer arrives
MichaelJP 17-01-2008, 09:32 The winter now is mild wet weather or cold dry weather, snow is getting rarer and rarer unfortunately.
I hate the weather we had the other day, cold, unremitting rain at 2C. Just a bit colder and it would have been snow:(
puddinburner 17-01-2008, 09:36 Can't help thinking the rain is down to global warming, this should be snow at this time of year surely? Fed up of getting wet all the time anyway.
tony_ack 17-01-2008, 13:02 I don't like the fact that it's dark and dismal all the time, but it keeps (most of) the scroats inside, and my car safe from harm...
bunnykins 17-01-2008, 13:04 sick of the rain,having to go in the car to get kids from school grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:rant:
lisa0114 17-01-2008, 19:49 i hate the rain it depresses me

Ive never ever and will never ever say "who's sick of all the sun" :love::love:

When I've had a couple of weeks in Spain looking at the dried up countryside I think it's quite nice to get back to a bit of rain.
It's not global warming, just normal English weather.

I think you'll find that Summer 2007 was still "Who's Sick Of All This Rain?" so much so that people here on Winn Gardens are still not back in their flooded out homes yet :D
Risk of disruption tomorrow down to 40% on the met office website - last night it was 60%. The worst of the rain might pass to the north of us.
craigmason 21-01-2008, 06:33 are you sure about that?
says
60% Yorkshire & Humber
plus it says areas affected
Yorkshire & Humber:
E Riding of Yorkshire
Kingston upon Hull
N Lincolnshire
N Yorkshire
NE Lincolnshire
S Yorkshire
W Yorkshire
York
Heavy Rain 0600 Mon 21 2000 Mon 21
Heavy rain is expected today especially through this morning. Although the rain will ease off this afternoon in many areas, further spells of sometimes heavy rain are likely for a time before finally clearing this evening. Rainfall totals of 25-50 mm are expected widely, with a risk of up to 70 mm in some places. The public are advised to take extra care and refer to the latest Environment Agency Floodline and 'Flood Warnings in Force,' and also the 'Highways Agency' for further advice on traffic disruption on motorways and trunk roads.
Issued at: 0352 Mon 21 Jan
on met office website has anybody suffered any flooding yet?
But more than 2 consecutive days of sunshine and there'll be a hose pipe ban!
czechroman 21-01-2008, 06:57 Already ive recorded 13 mm fell today so far. Her on look north said between 25-50mm of rain today, which could be upto 2 inches, which is a lot of rain, but still doesnt come close to the summer deluge of 112mm i think, thankfully!
czechroman 21-01-2008, 07:22 On the weather forum, some 1 says on the radio theres reports of 'lots of flooding already in south yorkshire', wheres this then.:confused:
puddinburner 21-01-2008, 08:43 Won't be long until it happens again, wonder if the officials have got a clue what to do yet? Hope so.....fed up of getting wet so going back to bed.
Heard parkgate in Rotherham is starting to flood once again.
craigmason 21-01-2008, 16:20 I think that Sheffield has escaped the worst of the rainfall and leeds got it instead
