London is windy. London is very windy. They’re running one train an hour down my train line, rather than one every ten minutes. I walked through Bloomsbury Square at lunchtime and a tree had blown down in the gale. This thing was a monster - easily 50 feet tall - and yet there it was, laying on its side, with a massive root-ball exposed to the elements. By the time I came back from lunch the park had been locked off, and a slate from the hospital over the road from our office had been blown off the roof and smashed one of the MacUser windows (pictures on Chris of the Phin’s blog).
So bearing all this in mind, would you choose today to stand on the roof of a four storey building and paint the skylights, like this insane guy we could see from one of our more in-tact windows?

We have these kinds of nasty weathers all the time here in Iceland - the difference is that we don’t have half as many trees as you do, so normally they don’t do as much harm. I hear it’s been nasty all over Europe.
