Not at the moment and I had a fairly uneventful drive in from Killamarsh to work near Meadowhall - perhaps you should have tried the M1. The wind is pretty bad at the moment and our building is getting a good battering.

Very windy and a bit of flooding in Buxton this morning, and the River Wye looked a couple of inches from running down the A6 just outside Buxton.
I work in the same office as Derbyshire County Council's tree inspectors and there's been a few trees come down overnight.

No floods (i dont think anyway) here yet. but there was outstandingly heavy rainfull in the night and it's particularly windy here too. Watching the trees from my window there swaying like goodens! I'm really scared as a neighbors fell down a couple of months back!
the rain has cleared up now wish the wind had too!

A slate just flew off the roof at work and missed my car by a metre or so!

reminds me of the time yorkshirepuddin and I got hit on the head by a flying slate whilst looking a sausages in a butchers in Hillsborough. I was ok, but she had to have her head literally glued together!!
Not raining any more and I eventually made it into work, although walking round site isn't much fun, it is muddy and wet at the best of times, nearly got blown over a couple of times.
On the tree front, they've been taking a few trees down recently and I'm sure there are some more that have had their roots loosened by the work nearby, I don't think my hard hat will be of much use if one decides it doesn't want to stay upright!

It's nice to know I can get an update on the current weather in the UK. I'm in Philadelphia and the weather is very cold, in fact the temp hit -3 yesterday. It seems a lot of the USA is experiencing some bad weather. I'm off to Miami next Monday for 4 days, then North Carolina for 2 days then it's back to Philly for my final couple of days.

My old man has just climbed a ladder to get onto the extension roof THEN placed a step ladder on the extension roof, climbed up it and lifted a ridge tile off the main roof that has been loosened by the wind. He was afraid the ridge tile would blow off and cause some damage. I was afraid the wind would blow HIM off the extension but happily he has got down safely-the muppet!
Someone has just sent an email round to the rest of us here (at work) saying that Coventry is a nightmare traffic wise. Given the is traffic worse than a nightmare at the best of times I'm not looking forward to my journey home
