After a fairly grey and wet start to the day what a wonderful finish. We stopped off at West Shore yesterday evening on our way back home and walked along the front (and over the new sand dunes!), feeling extremely fortunate to live here.

What lovely views.  I was on the opposite side of the Orme and from the bit of sunset I could see I thought that it might be rather nice over West Shore, so thanks for posting the pictures, it's nice to see what I missed.

For those of you wishing to see a rarity weather wise (Fester you will like this one) take a quick look at the realtime weather before it changes too much

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/wl/colwyn_bay_forecast_weather.html

the "gusts" column is usually anything from 30 +  to 60 MPH.

Currently no gust anticipated for the next 4 days.

I noticed that the wind direction has also changed for the first time in a long time to be coming in from the East.

Way to much time on my hands obviously!

See this article here...

With its high salt content, I didn't realise that the sea could freeze like this!

Fester, have you never watched Deadliest Catch? I think (please don't quote me) sea water freezes at around -7c if it's not moving too much.

Lots of excellent (and astonishing) photos of the damage caused by the Hurricane here:

Very dramatic photographs there, Dave.  So very sad for all the people affected, not forgetting those in the Caribbean too.

If you don't already know, the Met Office is warning of gusts in excess of 70mph this afternoon and overnight.
