I was kept awake last night by the kind of weather Susan describes. Seriously windy (sounded like my bedroom window was gonna break ) and really rainy.
The wind had gone today thankfully and it hasn't been too cold! dry too but i have a feeling gales will return tomorrow night for Hogmanay (Scot term for New Year's Eve )
It freezing rained a great deal yesterday afternoon and the road was a ball of ice. Then it rained overnight, then it started to lightly snow and now the eaves are dripping again. Quite windy as well.
this "winter" is really messed up. warm enough to get by with a sweatshirt/fleece, then the next day you need a coat and ice scraper. sigh. it's in mid-40s today.
