Yesterday we had sunshine and 12C. Today it is cold and grey and very dull. The forecast is for snow in inland areas later on but not here nearer the coast. I hope we get rain at least so the greyness is productive.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Pansy, wow. That silent lightening sounds really spooky. I love a good thunderstorm but hate the sound of strong wind at night, rattling tiles get me worrying.
Good that the emergency crew were out first thing fixing the power? and you've not had any serious damage.
GWRS, stay away from the yellow snow...... It's not the nice stuff
I hope you're all keeping safe out there. I arrived at work to find the building across from us was being unpeeled (corrugated metalwork covering what was once it seems a beautiful Victorian building) like an orange.
Then at lunch time our rendering started to come loose and fall on the fire engines. Its probably been loose for years but the wind must have been getting underneath it enough to give it that final push.
Makes the neighbours trampoline going walk about (I'm also missing a compost bin) seem quite calm in comparison.
Clearington, stay safe. It seems that you have it bad up there in Yorkshire. It is a bit wild here in Cheshire and the sycamore tree opposite our house has shed all its seeds. I expect I will find seedlings sprouting up everywhere in the spring.
Sorry I mistyped your name Clarington,I didn't get any sleep last night so I'm not too efficient today. Glenys would you like some of our cloudy skies? It sounds like it is very hot in South Africa.We could certainly use some of your sunshine here in January UK.
