Did it rain today?
« on: June 15, 2009, 03:52:40 PM »
Forecast was for some pretty heavy rain today, almost a weather warning  :scratch:

We've not had a drop, glorious sun all day.... :)

Did it rain elsewhere in the UK?

Flash floods and hailstones the size of tennis balls in Sheffield ......   according to the local radio. 

In North Leeds at about 2:00pm the rain was like stair rods for about 1/2 hour and the roads were more like a canal, at home tonight at about 5:00pm it persisted down for about 40 minutes ................. apart from that it's been a nice day in west Yorkshire  :zap:

To be fair ..............  after seeing this in the sky this morning we should have been prepared mind  :med:

Got flooded out tonight in the shop, drains couldn't take it and it all pissed in.
Two saving graces, everything except machines 3" of the floor and I have an outlet drain in the far wall.
Second saving grace was whatever lives in the coolant tank on the small TOS leant out and with a big slurp emptied the floor and re filled the coolant tank  :headbang:

Blimey, that sounds like a lot of bother.....we normally get all the rain here in Snowdonia, but still not a drop.

We've had a good winter and a good first 1/2 of the year.......it'll catch up with us......good luck can't last for ever.... :(

Looks like I'll be able to spend some time in the shop and still work on the kitchen pantry.

Horizontal this afternoon and evening, but now very bright.

Saved me washing the car for another year, and I didn't do it last year either.
