Bit of inclement weather in these parts you could say! Irene just skirted where I live so we only got some outer bands from it- driving rain and crazy wind, but happily we needed the rain so no flash flooding or anything. I'm pretty sure the air now weighs more than I do and we have very low, dark clouds hanging out. Once the system moves more northward, we'll have the most beautiful weather imaginable behind it.
I've been going to the beach to check out the surf and man the Atlantic is wild right now. I'm hoping the storm surge from this system isn't too bad- the islands in the Carolinas don't need that!

My brother is in Bermuda; they're not on storm watch but I bet they're getting the effect of Irene.SeaBreeze wrote:Bit of inclement weather in these parts you could say!

I love your avvy SeaBreeze - Eiger north face?
I've been up the railway inside the mountain and up to the observatory on the col between those 2 peaks in your piccy. The ice station is incredible as is the station inside the North Face.

Your brother is probably seeing the same crazy surf we're getting here. Hopefully people have the sense to stay out of the ocean!
You're exactly right about the avatar; I actually took that photo getting onto the train to go to Jungfrau The town is Klein Scheidegg.

I thought as much. I used to go ski-ing there, stayed in Wengen and used the trains to get up Kleine Scheidegg to hit the ski runs. I loved it there - especially ski-ing to some of the mountain restaurants and having hot apple fritters!!!SeaBreeze wrote:Admin wrote:

There were tons of skiers there when I went. I was jealous but as I was traveling solo resisted the urge. Such a lovely place; I felt like I was in a living postcard haha

The weather here was quite nice today, if a bit on the cool side. My daughter and her husband took off for Corsica this morning and she sent a text to say they had been diverted to Rome as weather very bad in Corsica - there is always someone worse off.

Cloudy all day with strong winds that kept the rain away. However it rained this evening for a while. Temperature definitely dropping each night.

Hmmm, I think the Eastern Atlantic seaboard is still feeling the after effects of Hurricane Irene passing and there is another one on it's way.
She's Hurricane Katia, set to become a category 4 in 9hrs time, she's currently about 900miles from the USA out in the Atlantic.
However, Katia is projected to pass up between Bermuda (300miles away and probably on red alert) and NYC (400miles) in 3 days time (Friday) and still be a #2 or ##1 by then so that is likely to create some stormy weather.
If you look at Katia's track she veers due East by Sunday 11th - and heads towards Europel. Unlikely to be a Hurricane by the time she reaches our side of the pond but could bring bad weather this time next week.

Really wet this morning although it's brightened up now. The first really high tide of the autumn bringing a huge dump of seaweed.

Just looked out the window. No skyscrapers. So probably not. Just got their weather.

Windy and wet earlier. Brightened up a little this afternoon. Not a bad evening so far.
