Don’t think anywhere in Liverpool has been gritted. On Sunday morning Walton Lane was ridiculous. Somebody had already gone through the fence by Dixie

….the wildfires around Los Angeles are amazing. A country like US with all its might can’t fight what nature brings, must be dreadful for those impacted.
Going to be sub zero nationwide it seems next few days, Scotland to get it worse, -20 in places. Cold cold!
As and when it get's really bad, it could mean more Everton games called off. So it's bad, but it means Dyche fit will come into play later in the season when we're playing 5 games in four days.
How very optimistic Rita

It was 2 last night here.
But felt like -5 according to the met office.
And it was.
No snow today, but the toon (council) has ran out of gritting sand.
As an aside...the half assed pot hole filling has been washed away...
If they've not got salt n sand for gritting, then they're unlikely to have some top layer road covering for longer term safety. How close to the 50% mark is the country in terms of bankrupt councils?
Hope it doesn't snow again, it'll compact on top of the ice cover already. Glad the cold will kill off so many invading species of insect, a thorough deep frost backs off all sorts of wasps and hornets and the like, but it'd have been more helpful during the holiday when everyone wasn't needing travel for school and work.

This weather has truly started my 2025 off worse than Everton.....moved into a new business unit/warehouse in Stockport in June, spent 6 months and a fair amount of £'s getting it ship-shape. Massive floods as seen on Sky TV etc between NYE and NYD have completely destroyed all my stock, fixtures and fittings, tools, equipment the whole shebang!
4 years of graft on my own business gone in less than 24hrs. Spent that last week trying to slowly clear away tonnes of sludge brought in by the flood and dry things out but no power and the rain, snow and freezing temperatures are making it damn difficult.. The water hit like a tsunami and rested at around 10ft covering the roller shutter doors and filling the unit. Will be at least 2-3 months before I can get operational again.
Gutted is an understatement.
Good job I like a challenge.

That is terrible luck. Will insurance cover you at all?

Unfortunately uninsurable due to location and a previous very small flood around 4 years ago on the industrial estate.
When you see the topography and where the river actually lies it's almost inconcieveable that it could flood to the extent that it did. Apparently the EA said after the last event it would be at least two decades before anything like that re-occured. I tried 4 different brokers....3 were a straight 'no' and the 4th wanted premiums that were a big multiple of the value of the stock etc.
Are you in the old mill by Tesco?

Units behind that Mill.
280 apartments were only finished in there last year and all have been evacuated. All the cars were underwater.
