|  Driving conditions.
With these high winds we've been having, what's it been like driving in your area?
Because there are alot of country lanes round here yesterday I was forever dodging branches that had fallen and motorbikes that where being blown all over the road.
So what's it like where you live?

Yeah, its well bad here.
The wind has gotten up to about 5mph out here and blown some small bits of rubbish onto the road.

Terrible, branches and twigs (big ones) all over the roads. Lots of nails from fences and the like. We even have had a couple of roads closed due to fallen trees. Not good. You need to be careful out there even after the high winds have died down. | |

Have been in Paris all weekend working, the winds were decidedly vicious and taking no prisoners.
