Whats the weather like near you?

got to go north of Blair Atholl and back to Aberdeen to night so a bit worried as it has snowed and the wind so hope the snow gates stays open

Horrible.

 

Cold and windy. And now it's raining.

 

Also had a warning over the tide tonight aswell. It's on a spring tide and there is a surge behind it.

 

The tide is suppose to be 7.6m but with a surge it will jump to 8.4m.

 

A surge is caused by high pressure meeting and pushing water up. It then adds a surge and the tide is higher.

 

With the winds aswell it will make for interesting boats. Last time this happened the lifeboat tore from its moorings and went for its own jolly around the marina along with a few others.

 

This lead to a fare bit of damage to other boats and pontoons. So the lifeboat has been moved today to another mooring where it will be safer.

 

But still waiting for a pager call saying it's gone for a joy ride again. Lol.

Didn't have much fun today in the winds, fairly big chestnut and ash reductions - although the wind did dry my rope from yesterday's rain!

Dismantled a birch first thing then opted not to do the second as the wind was blowing a hooly (self preservation kicked in). Meant to be in Gorleston tomorrow but even though the customers have sand bagged and moved everything upstairs, they have been evacuated by the authorities. What a hideous prospect in store for them.

Tad windy, rode it out this afternoon in the top of some big laurels that needed topping out, plenty of trees down round here, been to look at one on way home thats sat on a camper van

High winds are all over bar the shouting with at least 7-10 days of benign relatively dry cloudy milder south westerlies coming up from saturday onwards as a "euro-high" ridge settles and builds to our SE, lots of good days for tree work prior to crimbo fellas
