Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 1,940 | Well Debz i certainly won't be "On Ilkley Moor bar T'at" lol!!!its blowing a gale and lashing with rain ,although we are not as bad as the poor souls on the south coast.I watched the news this morning and they were at southsea in Hampshire where Robin and i lived for six months and spent many many happy weekend days out.The poor newscaster could hardly stand up.
Rotheram is about 30 miles south and to the left of me and should not be doing to bad as the storm hit the West side of the British Isles,still it makes living here interesting.
love liz

Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 341 | You guys are funny - I'm in the same "weather boat" as Deb and David and today was a gorgous, sunny 67. But we will totally pay for it with tornadoes, hurricanes and HUMIDITY later this year.
Stay warm and drive safe all you snow and ice folks and Jim you gotta rest silly, you're going to slow down your recovery.
Liz - we'll be thinking of you tonight!
