Bins everywhere in Edinburgh. Seems to have calmed down this morning though. Now for what looks like 48hrs of rain, expect flooding :(

At least it's not snow? We missed it here so far. Long range forecasts for February suggest we may yet have it though

Yeah better than snow but only just!!

As long as everyone is safe!!

Daughter had a 10 fit trampoline in her back garden complete with safety net.

Landed 2 gardens over taking out a greenhouse and the bt line to the house in its path.

Luckily no one hurt beyond my hands trying to dismantle it in the morning in that blistering cold.

Neighbours affected were super cool about it all understanding that some times nature is just a bitch

I know right!!! I might be getting up early to help fix my parents fence since we are quite worried that it will fall over, also the main road near us is closed due to a power line falling on it.

Hopefully your roads open up soon and your fence doesn't fall over.

What are you talking about? There’s hardly a breeze.

I’m in Newcastle and it’s also about 25 degrees.
