Well it looks pretty windy outside according to the BBC weather site, but looking out of the office window it looks like a lovely sunny day. Anyone been outside this lunchtime? Is it really that blustery?

Reckon I'd be on for a PB going home with it blowing that way, if I hadn't popped a spoke on Wednesday and found out that it'll take till next Tuesday for a new one to materialise.
Between the wind, we had a massive hailstorm mid-morning. Lovely.0 -
drove in today :oops: but that was because I had an early start and a load of stuff to carry in.
Part of me wishes I had cycled in anyway as the winds would've blown me along with NO effort.
The other part keeps thinking about horizontal trees and me cycling INTO that gale the whole way home.... :?Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

This weeks been a complete write off :evil:
Only stopped raining long enough for the feckin' hailstones to start.
Where's that 'Winter Weather Watch Thread' gone?
Anyway, sun to return early Sat AM, hope to do my first ever 50 miler.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

The wind's annoying, but hopefully it'll blow all that sodding fluff off the plane trees, once and for all - have had to give up on contacts for now 'cause they get turned to sandpaper!0

Windy as fork here.
Fortunately I decided to work from home, as otherwise I'd still be halfway along the A4, gaining ground in the lulls and going backward in the gusts !
My fence looks like it's about to collapse :-(
Dammit, wish I was sailing rather than stuck here working...it'd be, uh, envigorating :twisted:Misguided Idealist0 -
Tailwind home0

Presumably, you've got horizontal sleet coming in from Serbia as I type, with a hurricane coming in from the West.FCN 2-4.
