Sir Creep 7,070 Posted September 25, 2019 Thanks to Tropical Storm Imelda, my holiday to Scotland/Boudicca got a massive delay. Got it sorted, but no fun. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drewsky1211 4,726 Posted September 29, 2019 Hurricane Lorenzo now has sustained winds of 160 mph (260 km/h), making it the second Category 5 of the season. Lorenzo is now the easternmost Category 5 on record (beating Hugo in 1989). Current NHC forecast cone takes it through the Azores, then has it making landfall in Ireland as an extratropical storm. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted October 31, 2019 Halloween is looking more like Christmas in Chicago, with about 2 or 3 inches of snow having fallen and it's still going. When you factor in the wind and low visibility, it's looking like a blizzard out there. My commute home was less than ideal. Safe to assume I won't be getting many trick-or-treaters tonight.

philheybrookbay 439 Posted November 2, 2019 First proper storm coming in the South West England of the Autumn. Met office giving us 70 to 80mph gusts from 6am onwards. Have to say its blowing a hoolie out there enough to wake me up already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,963 Posted April 21, 2020 I think we're heading for a terrible year of drought. Almost no rain here in 3 weeks, or in the next two. 2020 has just begun, it's only going to get worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 5, 2020 Tropical Storm Cristobal formed in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday and is forecast to make landfall as a storm along the Louisiana coast early next week. It was downgraded from tropical storm status in the 10 a.m. National Hurricane Center update on Thursday. While it is now a depression, it is expected to strengthen back to tropical storm status as it moves north in the Gulf of Mexico. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,129 Posted August 12, 2020 We got a couple of hours steady quiet rain and it's pleasantly fresh and cool outside now. Gin? I've got a superior Lidl one (Hortus), tonic is just Tesco I'm afraid. I did have a Fevertree Raspberry & Rose tonic in my gin down the pub the other day, that was nice. Waitrose own brand tonic compares well with the basic Fevertree it's probably the same 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted August 12, 2020 We have the ceiling fan on and another fan going which is cooling things down a bit. The back doors are open to let in more air but it is also letting in the pungent smell of livestock shit that our local Farmer Giles is spreading on his fields. Quite a nice aroma when you are used to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
