If the weather is getting you down, come an experience living on the West coast of Gwynedd here in North Wales.
Anyone who is familiar with the scotch pine trees adjacent to the old ruined Drovers inn, just to the left of Moelfre, here in the Rhinog range.
Well i was there yesterday afternoon, just before 2pm and i was actually lifted off my feet with the wind, it was just about impossible to stand, and even battling against the wind was a challenge.
Apart from Wednesday, which was calm and quite nice, its been total mayhem since last weekends Storm Ciera.
Ive wanted to go for my weekly jaunt in the hills, but the severity of the winds have made it just about impossible.
I only wish i could have discovered the wind speed, it was an easy 50-60mph maybe more.
More fun and games this weekend, when my friend Dennis is paying a visit.
