A month’s rain in a day! Power outages! STORM PÄIVÖ TRASHES FINLAND!!

The cows at @highlandcattleofsaarela probably didn’t know that their electric fence wasn’t powered for like 22 hours (i.e. most of today). They didn’t escape, in any case.

Winter storm Ana dumping up to 20cm snow

Heavy winds and snow: Remnants of winter storm Ana to Finland

Seriously though I watched wet snowblobs of slush fall from the sky all day at work and now in the evening it is pouring rain and the whole place is turning into a giant puddle. This is the stupidest winter ever.

Named Storms

The first ever named storm in the UK was called Abigail, and this entertained me because it is an approximate homophone for A Big Gale.

Since then I always think each time I hear a named storm does it have anything to do with the weather and tonight we have huge winds and a great deal of rain and the storm is a named one, Claudia, which is being pronounced Cloudier, so yes it does.
