I'm dreaming of a wet Christmass
Here at the soggy end of Swansea Bay things have changed over the last
few hours. The Wife had a hospital appointment early this morning, it was raining but quite warm, on the weat there the rain started to belt down. When I went out at 1pm to collect our post the rain had stoped and it was colder. upon checking it had droped from 52f to 42f and we had had 1.45 inches of rain. Water running everywhere, pouring in from the fields above us, the ground just can't take any more. David Thinking of building an ark here at the wet end of Swansea Bay. |

Pouring with rain here in N.Lincs as well, and has been since aroun 6am. Can feel it getting colder too. My first day of a 3 week holiday from work. I was hoping to get some outside jobs done too! Baz Rain/sun/rain/sort-of-hail/sun. No sun here, and not likely to be. The sky is that rotten grey colour that I assosciate with rain and snow. It is to be expected at this time of year but not welcome. We are over the shortest day at least. Not long now 'till we will be comparing notes on problems with our growing gardens.(and me asking questions). Baz |

Just as bad here at the dry(er) end. Ground is also saturated but the drains can't take it either. Some local road flooding which apparently is due to overloaded sewers up the hill rather than blocked drains down here. Which, of course, means the flooding is s***! It's dry at the moment and the sky's cloudless with a lovely red colour in your direction. So let's hope that tomorrow's dryer. Cheers, Jake ======================================= Urgling happily from the dryer end of Swansea Bay because Santa's delivered a new weather station so now I'll know how dry it is when it stops raining! |

Gusts of wind reached 40 knots in the last hour. -- Martin- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Saturday Morning and it's typical. I looked at the rain Radar this morning and it was clear for around 50 miles around us, except for one spot of heavy rain over Swansea, now at geting on for 1pm and its raining again, I was hopeing to spend the afternoon inside in the warmth of the sun listing the dahlias.
