I just looked back on my post from december 2012 in this thread when it had just been raining and raining, well this winter if anything has been even worse, we've had maybe 3 frosts but just interminable rain and storms, the winds have just been crazy this winter. January was the wettest in the UK since records began around a century ago and theres no sign of any let-up. Large areas of the UK are under water, some villages in the Somerset levels ahve now been cut off by floods for a month with villages back to being islands as there were before the marshes were drained in mediaeval times. My garage is shall we say a bit damp inside, even with a dehumidifier running 24/7. The roads are underwater in places around us where fields are flooding out onto them. Its just a ****** mess. No frost, no snow, just developing webbed feet, today the rain has again been coming sideways, I have a window thats leaking in the living room (waiting on new windows all round) the lawn just has water running out of it onto my yard like a river. the kids are driving me nuts because its just to wet, windy and cold for them to go and play outside often enough to run off steam and I'm struggling to get anything done out of the house.
