We’ve had some mighty storms in the last two weeks. Winds of almost 100mph have been recorded - coming from all directions. These have been combined with snow, hail and sleet. This heady mixture has caused power cuts, ferry and plane cancellations and widespread concern about the length and severity of the rest of the winter. As Billie Holiday sang:
Don’t know why, there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
I walk around heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around and I'm still feeling bad
Rain pourin' down, blinding every hope I had
Stormy weather
However, there is hope. The days between the storms are bright and clear and when the sun shines it brings a smile to every face.
