Toot

Written by Kevin Davy on 2024-12-07 at 17:00

To my non-UK peeps perhaps confused by news reports about the storm currently visiting our fair land and the way we might be speaking about it. Here is a handy guide

It's a bit brisk out there,

   There's terrified people being swept through the air clinging desperately onto their umbrellas like so many Mary Poppins wannabes.

It's a mite damp,

    It's biblical, the land is becoming the rivers and sea and everything's getting swept away.

It's getting quite interesting out there,

       Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, we're all going to die.

 Hope it helps. 😂

@pathfinder Since a few years in Canada when there is snow it's very similar to what you describe. I will never get it! 😂

It's what we're used to, I suppose

@arisummerland

😊 It's mostly about staying warm. Nothing like gale force winds and rain to induce a small pinch of wind chill 😂

@pathfinder "small pinch" 🤣🤣🤣

But I feel you. Our windchills have been in the teens and single digits of late. (Fahrenheit)

@pathfinder

Thank you. This is most reassuring. Not! But I see from further down that you survived, so I guess that’s good!

@Susan60

It wasn't the worse storm I've known, but it is much later than I would expect one and given that it's colder now, the wind chill was something fierce.
