The Weather

[Scunner]

Must be my turn to start a topic called that. I can report that central Scotland has been battered since around 2am this morning - in bed during the night it sounded like being on a North Sea ferry in a storm - the rain hitting the window helped by such a ferocious wind that it felt like we were being hit by waves.

But it's not all negative. Here is a scene from one of our dog walking routes, the stream ('burn' locally) is normally at best 'tranquil' and nearly dry at other times:

We hope Toky is OK in Helensburgh as it's taken a real beating!

I have a cousin in Helensburgh who runs a pet shop - just thought I would mention it

If its not freezing cold, its gales and floods, that's winter in the UK

We got battered big time today. Only the 2nd time ive seen it as bad. We are high uo so no water damage   
This was the forecourt of our petrol station on the opposite side of the water

The weather in Turkey is getting bad as well, this morning we had mist across the valley in Uzumlu & snow on the mountain top near Nif.

Thankfully,our house is situated on a small hill.We won' t get flooded but the bottom of the road does get so. >:(I was worried because on Monday the 6th,we have booked a return rail journey from Cambuslang to Edinburgh to meet up with a friend.I keep checking Scotrail information and at the moment the trains on that route are ok.What is worse,rain or snow and ice?Give me sunshine anytime.
