Bobby Connor Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Rains 400 days a year in Glasgow so I doubt much difference will be noticed. Storm in a tea cup this story. Link to comment

granite sheep Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 So, let me get this straight, it's gonna be windy as fuck, seriously baltic, and pish of rain for ages? Why are we getting worked up about it, seems like business as usual weather wise to me. Just means the big jackets get broken out a month or two earlier. Link to comment

muttondressedaslamb Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Are we expecting something like that hurricane we got in the mid 80s? Remember when Michael Fish said it wasn't going to be a big deal? Link to comment

Oh aye bonzo - let me ask you a train question: do they ever close the forth rail bridge like they do the road bridge in high wind? Link to comment

Our fleet is impervious to wind. It just seems to be water/sun/foliage/snow/ice that can hold us back. Only time high winds cause havoc for us is when trees or power lines get blown over. A typical 2 car set weighs around a 100 or so tons, so I think only a category 5 tornado could move that. Link to comment

muttondressedaslamb Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I'm sitting in my room at work and all I see are blue skies and a tiny bit of movement from the plants in the wind. Very disappointed. I was hoping for an early finish due to the building being ripped apart Link to comment
