Well I thought it was the south west/wales that were getting all the fun.  the windy rainy stuff is coming off the Atlantic.  I've just used the phrase batten down the hatches on another question - I was referring to my guinea pig hutch, interesting saying.

Answer 5

according to sky news weather, the north will miss most of the fun, but by monday/tuesday, the south will be hit with gales which could turn out to be the worst of the year so far.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

..I'm keeping a weather eye on the approaching storm.  It's a God almighty Atlantic howler and no, the folk up North are gonna share this monster with the rest of us.

I'm foolishly hoping that because I live down here in Sunny Greenwich-on-Thames, that the worst of it will have worn itself out by the time it hits London.  Ha!  Don't make me laff.

Well at least we won't be able to blame poor Michael Fish - who incidentally has made a good living off the the un-storm since he retired from the Met-Office.

Poor Michael was just hoping that the storm would disappear somewhere in the vast expanse of the Bay of Biscuits - no chance : -

Answer 10

FUN! Its no fun up where I live in a storm. People and cars being swept into the sea by the force of the waves. We are cut off at the best of times, a storm can make it far worse.

Answer 11

I don't see your area on the weather warning

Answer 12

I love a good storm especially when looking out to sea, but it's not always fun when it can cause so much destruction.

Answer 13

The hatches cannae take it captain.
