Still very windy in Queensbury, West Yorkshire.
Temp around freezing. Some interesting new sculptures in the garden.

Hey Rick - what’s your connection with Alfas?

No snow here in Wrexham but a few trees down, roads blocked and fence panels/bins/trampolines went flying.

No chance of it laying.

I may wish to retract this statement

It's mostly melted near me. Lydiard Parkrun was quiet for some reason.

I’ve always liked them. We had three when I started using an Alfa forum so chose my username on that basis. Down to one now but kept the name!

What’s your connection with Dogs?

On second thoughts don’t tell me….

They should be identified, so we know how to avoid the terminally stupid in the future.

Did much happen in the red zone?

80,000 without power, friends report widespread devastation with 10s of trees down around them.

[JayRidesBikes]

Partner in Aberdeensire has lost half a garage roof, lifted a lot of the flat roof on the house as well, and a big tree down blocking her road (pic below) reported to the police and council as too big to tackle ourselves, most of my neighbours in Aberdeen have lost multiple ridge tiles and there's trees down all over the place.

Ah - I did wonder if you were some sort of Alfa garage. I’ve just got a 159SW as a “useful” car as our others are two seaters. I was meant to get something like a C1 and ended up with a 159. I am an idiot.

Why the two threads with the inevitable cross posting? Surely it should be an ongoing continuation of the other thread as the years roll by? Or at least close the old thread.

Ah, just seen that the old thread had been bumped, hence two appearing on my feed one above the other.

The M62 is still closed as there’s hundreds of lorries stuck on it.

This really annoys me more than it should, I know. The “it’s only 1 day a year” lot would shut me down, but lorries should be on fking winters.

A 159 is much better looking though.

Kayaks got blown across the garden last night then we got about 2" of snow this morning.
