Thirsty Relic Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I can't believe all this grumbling about the weather, including someone who apparently faught in WW1 aged 10! It's only the elderly who rememebr when we really did have bad weather, with knee-high snow a regular around November/December. It's raining today. Yes, I get it! The world doesn't stop though! There will be areas that flood - the same areas that have flooded before and historically are used to it. Graves park will pass all the water on Chesterfield Road, which will mean areas of Woodseats are flooded, traffic will find it hard/impossible to get through for a few hours, but things will return to normal shortly afterwards. It's the back-end of October, not long to Xmas, and forecasts say we can expect SUN all Sunday and Monday! I certainly never saw that in my youth! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbow Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Are today and tomorrow going to be the sternest test yet of the post-2007 flood defences? There are now ten flood warnings in place for Sheffield, including the Don at Savile Street and Brightside Lane.

Having said that , I’ve just been shown some videos of the Don at Kelham and Meadowhall, looks grim .

Well I asked if it would the sternest test of the defences since 2007. The forecast maximum height at Lady's Bridge in the next 24hrs is 3 metres, which is more than a metre lower than 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
