pretty windy here now, worse up north, gone to a red warning!!

Red warnings are the ones with £££ signs attached , right .....?

On the basis if we get a call out later I won't be driving, I'm going to open a 2018 Berry Bros extra ordinary claret and let it breath a bit in time for roast dinner... a good year apparently.

I'm in West Sussex but not far from the Hampshire border and the wind is not too bad right now ( 18:00 ) but I believe its building from now on ....

Fair play to UKPN, guy with fibreglass poles has been out and pruned the tree in the rain to get the conductors apart again.

 

No more flash bang, power on all night fingers crossed.

Do you have a studded tyre or just some knobbly's for the snow / ice ?

 

Fairly aggresively studded tyres on that bike (Suomi Hile Reflex). I use that bike when I'm more unsure of the surface conditions, or where I know it'll be loose/insecure snow.

 

On my commuting bike (where the road is 50% normally clear asphalt and 50% normally smooth compressed, plowed snow) I use Schwalbe Marathon Winter Plus, which have the same number of studs, but they're less aggresive and the tread pattern is smoother.

 

The only thing you have to be conscious of is that on studs, you actually have more grip on good solid snow ice than on bare asphalt. They wouldn't be suitable for most UK winter weather.

A "For Sale" sign flew down the road like an aeroplane and smashed into a parked car. Must have been an almost 100 metre flight! Wild.

gusting over 50mph but do not seemed to have had a lot of rain. 

[Peasgood]

Not much rain and not as windy as the last storm. I think we escaped.

[roboted]

We haven't. Blowing a hoolie and heavy rain . Gusting 60 mph.

If you're on call out, stay safe

Windy rainy night, probably not as bad as I had expected from the forecast here, certainly some hefty gusts though. Nice and calm this morning which Im pleased about. Looks like it will be business as usual with a Beech reduction.
