Dos_Box Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Met Office: Preston: forecast weather What can I say apart from 'glug glug'? I particularly like the severe weather warning in place for Lancashire for the next 3 days. It never does this for snow! I like snow.
john Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Swimming to the office tomorrow then I'd think for you
Dos_Box Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 4 Days of torrential downpour! I'm glad our office is on the first floor, and have a 4x4!
elsiegee40 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 I've just checked our forecast, but am relieved to see that Kent's going to escape this time... 1.5 inches of rain on Friday was not good... the sewer blocked and all the kids got sent home. We stayed.
john Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Then again there is me saying that and its a warning for us over the border as well! Never mind my Office is high enough up, the Server room is also not that bad tbh, so long as the roof doesn't leak over it we will be fine (or the sewers back up seen as it backs onto the gents loo's)
Dos_Box Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 You're going to get it quite bad as well John. Almost twice the rainfall over the pennines!
t_h Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 I'd take rain over snow any day! As much as I like snow having to drive to work on icy roads is just horrible.
Simcfc73 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 We flooded last year when we had a really bad downpour.... not looking forward to this week.

amvc Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Came to work on my scooter this morning, hair raising to say the least
elsiegee40 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Having heard about the predicted 15cm of rain, I can only sympathise with those of you up North and hope you don't get washed away. I just can't imagine that volume of rain
ChrisH Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Hmm gotta go to a course on Friday but only got my motorbike on that day. Might have to get the train.
SteveT Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Local woodyard has run out of shittah-tree wood! Is this significant do you think???
witch Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 We have 25mph winds this morning and a bit of rain - but our forecast is quite good for the next few days - feel for you drowning guys

Tcsltd Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Our car park is a giant lake this morning!! a couple of inches deep!! joy!!!
Jon Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Its pretty cold here today too http://www.peninsulafm.com/cold.JPG Gets a bit warmer tomorrow Saturday looks like a nightmare to me, 38 degrees and high humidity...Does this bring out even more spiders and flies?
RabbieBurns Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Ive only seen 1 snake since ive been here, and that was when i was right in the middle of the desert. Not seen any spiders or anything. Seen a few of the Killer Koalas though.. had a couple of narrow escapes
SC-UK Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 It's dry here but very windy. Apparently our fence at home has given up already - another thing to fix!
Jon Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I suppose that after 5 or 6 "stubbies" or Fosters or XXXX you can put up with a lot of things.
e_g_r Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Well I cycled in. How nails is that? Headwind all the way, I normally hold 20mph on one stretch of flat, but this morning I was standing up cranking the pedals doing 14mph. I should be able to catch the jetstream on the way home, though. I've got some excellent wet weather gear, so it was OK. Same here but got swampped by a lorry, it was like a tidal wave when it hit me. Thank goodness for good waterproofs. Rest of my kit stinking out the office as it drys on our rad.
browolf Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) rain but no wind makes it cool-hat weather. aka http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leather-Country-Hat-Suitable-For-Shooting-Fishing_W0QQitemZ380097035822QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Sporting_Goods_Sports_Clothing_LE?hash=item587f8c7e2e coupled with http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BARBOUR-BURGHLEY-Waxed-LONG-COAT-40-Chest-SUPERB_W0QQitemZ370289351118QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMen_s_Clothes?hash=item5636f719ce sort of thing Edited November 18, 2009 by browolf
john Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Well lets see, the roof DIDN'T leak! Amazing, normally we would have expected a huge flood in 3 areas with this much rain but not even a drip!, had a pool in the new building as it usually does as the path slopes a bit the wrong way tbh, tunnel from Bus drop off point to our site was under about 1ft of water so students crossing the road, and the river by the edge of campus was washing onto the path next to it so thats a bit too high and getting a bit close for comfort, other than that not too badder day
