Universal flood

I was up at 6.25am this morning (it's a saturday?!?) to go running. It was a bit chilly but otherwise ok, but it started horrible, freezing rain whilst I was about 10 minutes from home..and it hasn't stopped since.
A day of being housebound researching one of my business (!) ideas, and when I did leave the house, getting a hosing from cars splashing through puddles.
We (me and my flatmate) got the fire going again today - let it roar a bit too long and wasted a lot of the wood before working out how to reduce it down to embers so it'll stay warm, but it's a learning process.
