Obs roof blew off.....

[tooth_dr]

I don't know what it's like where you are but here in NI we are in the grips of some severe weather. Electricity off since six o'clock (in the middle of cooking dinner), phone lines now off, and at least a foot of snow. To top it off my Dad phoned me to tell me his 9' x 9' tongue and groove roof (weighs a lot, we both struggled to lift it and that was before the felt when on) has literally blown off across the garden. That could have killed someone. His obs is empty thank goodness apart from tools, and some wood, and was held down with a couple of clips as a temp measure but they broke off. So just a word of warning for others. My obs is almost flooded, about six inches of water approaching level of the floor. I've moved everything up and out of the way, and if it reaches the top of the pier (3 feet) well I'll have more to worry about that a couple of telescopes

Adam,

It's not too cold and a bit wet here but not in the same league as your weather. Worse in Scotland but still not that bad as far as I know. Hope things improve for you.

Regards,

Cheers guys. I just went out there and nailed my roof down. Wish I went to the off-licence now lol.

Amazing, over here in Anglesey it's totally still not a breath of air it's rained for two days though. Must be a bank holiday on the way.

Never mind Scotland! The met office never said it would snow in MANCHESTER!!!

Snowing here now, when the clouds clear from Snowdonia I expect they will be totally white again. I wonder if this year the snow will last until May?

Well my fish pond has extended to cover most of the garden now.

It has rained almost non stop two days, and the winds have been

Powerful gusts overnight.

Obs. still intact though, if the winds want it, they will need to lift it bodily from it's bolted down anchorage..

Wow Adam, take care up there...

A pal of mine who lives your way had taken off with his family in a caravan for a holiday in the woods. Nuts.
