Winter weather 2015/2016 Megathread


Recommended Posts

Abigail will hit Scotland into Thursday night and Friday. Won't effect us much but temps for the day should return close to normal for the time of year before turning very mild over the weekend

 

It seems that Abigail is making it's way down now, winds are insane! We have scaffolding outside our building and it's shakey :hihi::hihi:

 

It was bitterly cold this morning, I think due to the wind though. Although it's still nowhere near cold enough for this winter we've been promised.

Just heard Paul Hudson on radio Sheffield reporting of winds been recorded at high Bradfield 74 mph this evening :roll:

 

Pretty exposed up there.

 

It was bad that night, I was driving towards High Bradfield after work along Kirk edge road, the wind almost blew my little car to the opposite side of the road a few times, it was pretty scary at the time and dread it now each evening. :(
