The Beast from the East having a bit of fun with Bridlington harbour wall.

 

Blimey!

Douglas harbour on the Isle of Man was a right old mess after high tide. 

The wind over the last 48 hours has been horrendous.  I woke to a scene of destruction in my back yard this morning, which is a first.  Usually just a plant has been blown over but my little greenhouse was destroyed, as were some of my carefully tended plants.

An hour to get home (usually 15 mins) tonight.  The Range Rover in front doing 15mph didn't help.

Hope this link works but this community (mine but not there this week!) has been cut off since Monday with the route to Brampton only opened up yesterday. Amazing community spirit and support up there.

Although I do feel sorry for those folk caught in the snow in their cars, all I can think of is the red and amber warnings and “are they thick?”

Too many clips of stranded people with no supplies, water, blankets or even a warm coat and then grumbling that others should be doing more for them. 

Come on, surely if you choose to drive in a weather warning then the consequences are yours. The more severe the warning, the more care you take. 

Don't forget that emergency candle, shovel, food ration, emergency light, whistles and, in the USA, handgun.

You have to get out there and enjoy the weather!

That's the snow gone round these parts bar a few residual bits in the coldest shadows.

I'm surprised we've not seen flooding warnings given the amount of snow that's melted.

7 degrees outside today - tropical conditions compared to last week ?

In the last 12 hours we have had three seasons . Snow  last night, then two hours ago the sun was out and was pleasantly warm. Now its peeing down.

Just been a piece on Look North about it. Literally thousands of them have been washed up.

Quite a few have been collected from the waters edge , hopefully can be saved . Lobsters are quite hardy so fingers crossed .

The ones in my pictures are about half way up the tidal range and have been dead for at least 12 hours .

What a great shame.  Hopefully the stocks won't have been too depleted.

St leonards-on-Sea seafront 0845 this morning

Awful pictures from me, I only realised when I got back after posting them I still had my camera on shutter priority, and it was set on fast, I should have allowed a bit more exposure, as I wouldn't be the first to expose anything on St Leonards sea front!

But at least, from the text of the Tweet, it does look like enough of them are sufficiently saveable to make the effort worthwhile.

Some rubbish on twitter . 80% of the lobsters on the beach are juvenile , commercial fisherman who need a licence to land shellfish only land lobsters that measure 87mm from eye socket to back of the the first shell . Yes they are concerned about future catches but lobsters this size are years and years away from been mature enough to catch . Good to see people working together and helping a local industry . Im down again on the beach tomorrow between shifts see if I can help out . The power of mother nature is truly amazing .
