Looks like a bad one - possibly worst for at least a few years.

Hope everyone is safe and suffers no damage to person or property.

I'm actually hoping for damage to the server room at work.

Could do with replacing the Pentium Pro machines in there.

Indeed, stay safe everyone please

Think I'm going to end up driving through some of it

Will · 09-03-2008, 21:48

Looks like London should miss the most of it.

this is more or less my journey into work... should be fun. The bus company have suspended double decker services along the coast road and they have been known to suspend all services in the past.

As others have said, I hope no-one is hurt. However I do secretly hope for some bad ass stormy weather just so I can take the photos.

I hope no-one gets hurt too.

Been a while since I last saw the Met Office charts full of this much red. In fact, the pressure charts are full of occlusions too (makes me wish the main TV stations go back to proper weather reporting, rather than the idiots guide). There is even a good trough to show on Wednesday morning. Aviation charts are interesting too.

I have to walk over a big ass hill in dartford to get to work, I hope I don't take off... though it would be fun to be airborne for a while, till I realised what goes up must come down (usually faster than it went up too

)

eurgh - windy, rainy and horrible!
i'm getting a lift to work - it means i'll be there an hour early - but at least i won't have to cycle through this!
here's hoping things don't get as bad as the bbc are suggesting

Well it wasn't too bad driving into work this morning from SE London to NE London - it's windy sure, but it's not OMGWTFWE'REGONNADIE windy. I wonder how it'll develop.
