    Think Tugs had said that we were looking at gusts of 60mph , possibly 70mph for a short period of time worst being around midnight but could have changed since then .


    I hate the wind , wheelie bin has been safley moved , just can't decide if i should collapse the clothes line again

    I reckon it'll get bad from about eight to nine tonight, probably quite breezy for 6 or 7 hours. Wind speeds upto about 60mph, gusts - maybe 90!!!

    Well just taken my daughter to scouts and seen my first wheelie bin of the evening blowing along the road. Suspect there'll be a few more later when I go to collect her.

    Yup, i did post last night about tonight but i don't know if anyone noticed it, gusting to about 70mph at the worst of it i reckon round about the midnight hour then easing back to a steady 20 - 30mph by the time the world is moving again about 9am ish.
    snow wont come here, that'll stay on the high ground and inland, sorry
