Yet more rain
Will there never be an end to this rain?
15.3 inches in January at this side of Swansea bay, almost makes one envious of California, http://news.msn.com/in-depth/scienti...sted-200-years but not quite. David |

Spoke too soon - the wind is stronger and great gouts of rain keep smashing against the windows. Then blue skies emerge again for a few minutes before it all goes black again. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

Speaking too soon can partly be avoided by looking at the live rainfall radar maps. They give a useful indication of what's coming your way, and when. I first used them usefully a few years ago, to tell people on my roof that they had an hour to finish the roof before the rain/sleet came. They didn't believe me, and were surprised when I was right to within a few minutes. http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ is convenient. |

I already know whether it rained this morning thanks very much, and it doesn't tell you how much they charge for this afternoon's predictions |

My daughter had snow on Thursday evening. She lives just north of Hanley. None here but we've heard there's a light scattering here and there on Dartmoor. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

Was told this morning that the road near our allotment is impassable, luckily on the other side so I can still get down to pick the sprouts from this side. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

We are 450ft up and can see the Mumbles from here, and in the the last 12 hours it has been gusting to 50mph, most of the time 60mph and over with a top so far of 75mph David |

Lots of roads flooded, I don't know of a stream that hasn't left it's bed. We were just commenting that if it does freeze hard, the ground will be a solid block of ice, it's that saturated. Can't be good for roots... -E -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |

Funny you should mention roots but I dug up some leeks for soup the other day and they had a few strange red streaks in them down to the root, only the top couple of layers but I have never ever seen the like before. Friends wife told me when he brought some leeks home from his plot the Leak Moth grubs were alive and well and still eating the middle of the leek, they didn't get used! -- Regards. Bob Hobden.
