We have already got high winds and rain in West Yorkshire, been like it off and on all day.
Got wet through going to the garden centre to buy some new roses.

It's meant to be spring! Think we can lodge a complaint with the management?

Looks like Monday and Tuesday. Which is typical as I'm getting my blinky car washed tomorrow *sighs*

blinking cold here but no wind......yet!!

my hairdresser is off to France on monday morning.......by ferry!!

Wind is really picking up here. Have put kids bikes in shed etc. Hope shed still there tomorrow. Sunday night and Monday morning supposed to be bad. Bet it at 8.45 when have to do the school run.

You'll be fine Maz. Weather reports says dont go out unless you have to. Stay indoors x

its very mild so far in the boro

no wind just a little drizzel earlier

Yes, we were in London yesterday, staying over as we had booked to see the Terracotta Warriors at the British museum.

Well worth it but you are running out of time if you want to go as is closes in a month.

We planned to spend today viewing the visitor sites and went to Portobello Market in this morning - but by 12 we decided to abandon the day as it was becoming very cold and windy.

We stopped off at St Pancras Station - well worth a visit if you are down there - it was absolutely heaving. Lots of shops and some good eating places.

Back home in Cambs is got very cold and rained heavily for an hour but is currently dry and cloudy.

Got the stove lit now, so nice and cosy.

Hope OH can get a ferry home tomorrow - I can see delays from Calies but hes driving to Dunkirk - I can't find the reports for there.

Any news on your OH ?

Hi Mildred he is on the Ferry and its making good time - there are no High seas yet should arrive in Dover about 3pm he has to do several drop offs but should be back in the West Country about 10 or 11pm.

I hope he gets here before the gales start - we are expecting 80 mile an hour winds tonight.

Hope he gets home on time. You should be okx Fingers crossed.

SS - Just to be a "know it all" but we are officially still in winter - spring does not start til 21st March. (sorry).

Lovely here in Norwich so far, but not expecting the storms until tomorrow morning, and hopefully they may have blown themselves out before the get this far..

But....although it has been mild and sunny with a light breeze there are black clouds building up.

Not bad here in London either, a bit cool and cloudy skies, but so far...no wind.....BC XX

Calm before the Storm comes to mind!

Its brilliant blue sky here in North Bristol - me washings drying wonderfully. I thought weather peeps said it was going to rain today - they got that wrong.

Lets hope the winds blow themselves out over the water.

Just seen the satellite picture on the weather report...it's huge, it's not going to blow itself out before it hits land thats for sure.

Very sunny in Worcestershire at the moment. Hardly any wind, a few dark clouds are appearing.
Will have to wait and see if the Met office has it right. Keep safe everyone.

nice and sunny here in hampshire at the moment but it is gettin windy
