Well the snow has gone, but now an icy wind be whistling by, rattling my back door it is. :-

Last night we had the worst thunder and lightening I have ever experienced

Soo frightening. Very windy and raining today so roll on May??????

It is now raining again, here in East Sussex. The Rother flooded yesterday, this will not help at all. As you say Barb roll on May.

It's blowin a hooley round these ere parts.

I have just been watching the rain falling under the garden lamp. It's blowing in all directions, mostly horizontal.

Batten down the hatches tonight me thinks!

Ooo yeah, your right Barb.

BRB

..............or possibly hoolie. This expression for a strong gale seems to be quite common in the UK now.


blow a hoolie v. phr. (of weather) to storm; to forcefully gust, blow, and rain. Editorial Note: The stand-alone hoolie ‘a severe storm’ is rare outside of the blow a hoolie construction. It is sometimes spelled hooley. Etymological Note: Perhaps connected to hooley defined by Jonathon Green’s Cassell’s Dictionary of Slang as “a rip-roaring party” and marked as originally Irish, though the sense has a history in the US as well.

The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!

For I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
Oh, what do I care if icicles form?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
