Dirty Gerty

[Millet]

Get those hives weighed down Storm Dirty Gerty is going to be here a bit longer, there's trees flattened all over already so we should be getting a bit of fire wood.

If they carry on like this giving a name for every bit of normal winter weather they'll have no names left for next year.
By the way it's going they'll change the law and we'll have to christen every damp fahrt

It went through here last night - Force 11 (violent storm) - very impressive I must say! At least the building material on top of the hives helped keep them safe.

Been blowing here too....since the early hours of this morning. I have electric fencing to do but gave up as the wire kept getting tangled up! And my fingers were frozen.

I was on the Yorkshire dales yesterday and it was brutal, what makes it worse i have man flue and bombing round those country lanes on a quad does me no favours especially with 60mph gusts blowing sleet in your face, my head was paining at one point so i called it a day and limped home in my car with a hole in one of my break pipes (that's another story)

How on earth did we survive last winter with no names to perfectly normal weather systems

God knows, even the Americans don't name normal weather, they only seem to name the Hurricanes and Tornado type which are proper storms.
