Given what happened last year, and with the weather forecast for today I would personally be very wary of parking near Morison's in New Brighton today.

Any "early bird" reports of conditions along the prom or in NB?

If your unable to get out then there's always the option of checking out the live webcams that are covering the Mersey and New Brighton front

Watching the webcams, it doesn't look too bad. Overhyped?

The tide is out
well at the moment it is.

But its coming Gale warnings cancel Mersey ferry and Irish Sea sailings Click Me

Snod will probably be the one saying "I told you so" lol

According to the EA site that tedmus linked to, the next high water at L'pool is at 1312GMT today.
Just spotted Snod at the entrance to Morrisons car park selling pairs of waders!

According to the New Brighton camera, the time is 13.22. Actual time is 11.42.

You are all welcome to sit in my living room to watch it £5 a head, tea and coffee extra

No fire for dilly today.

So, anyone's car get washed away?

Although the sea beyond the New Brighton lighthouse looked lively, there were still ships moving and the Eggy Ferry & Fort car parks look dry.

Big snow storm going on here. 25cm expected

What's your temperature Snowshoes ?

Gibbo, generally speaking ships don't top sailing in rough seas.

[quote=granny]What's your temperature Snowshoes ?

98.4 gran Outside it's a balmy -3 but with a
stiff wind makes it feel a lot colder.

you are in perfect health, young man. Stay indoors as you might get blown away or turn into a snowman . You have the shoes

Whats the weather like up your way pinz?I heard its worse there than here.Its not been all that bad as yet in the wirral.But seemingly your passing the storm onto us real bad this evening .Am dreading it, hate this weather.

Pretty lively hereabouts. Far worse in the Highlands & Islands. Had the lot today. Snow, sleet, hail, rain, severe gales and loads of thunder & lightning - and for all of 3 minutes.... SUNSHINE ! Temp is a balmy 1C !! Deepjoy !

Don't go climbing any hills Pinz.

Just been for a dog walk......very bracing but lovely and wild out there. Been much worse in the past.

He probally not wearing the kilt today Granny,so no thrills for us

Last December was a low with a 9.8 or something metre tide and high winds, today was a high with a 9.0 metre tide with a bit of wind so it was just a storm, if today had been a low then it would have been time to head for higher ground but as I don't go to the fort to play anymore, I've stopped keeping an eye on the weather for New Brighton.

Just done a school crossing patrol plus delivered 500 Wirral globes--outside for 8 hours. Hyped up --just a bit windy and some very dark clouds with a couple of passing showers. Not that cold either if wrapped up. Nothing else news worthy so hype up the weather.
