Relatively calm here in brum now. Few rogue gusts but that's about it.

Completely insignificant in the west midlands. Had a small window of strong gusts but its really calm.
Amazing that some areas get comparitively nothing in exceptional weather.

Gusting 40-50mph here. Looking like we will escape the worst.

Bude is taking a battering. This is exactly why the danger to life warnings were warranted. Getting hit by some of this debris could end your life:
To those giving the whole "what a let down, it was exaggerated, what storm?" nonsense - just stop.
Agreed. Although the guy hyperventilating like an F5 tornado had ripped through is funny as hell.

Just a strong breeze here in Brum at the moment. We are normally largely shielded by the strongest winds due to being on a plateau so not expecting 70mph gusts.

Definitely lower pressure than predicted by the models already
987mb at 19z. Compare this with the models
GFS, Arpege, ICON, ECM and GEM at or maybe slightly under 990mb at 19z
These 5 models are closest to the mark but are slightly less deep with the low at the same 19z timeframe
NASA has 995mb at this stage 19z
NASA a bit less strong than the main models
CFS and NAVGEM 1000mb at 19z
CFS and NAVGEM more conservative with the deepening of the storm
JMA 1005mb at 19z
JMA least keen on developing this storm
It would seem the strongest predictions are closest to the actual outcome at present but even these have underestimated the developing storm so far.
This to me would suggest a more northerly track than predicted and even stronger winds.
I wouldn't be surprised if several places top 100mph winds and further north than predicted.
Could mean my part of the country gets battered completely tomorrow afternoon and even more so as the storm exits in the evening.
Where can I find the pressure charts please?

Nice info with this thread from Ryan
Aren't SUSTAINED winds from hurricanes 74mph+? Even Cat 1 gusts regularly reach far beyond 100mph. This storm is nowhere near the destructive impacts of a hurricane, let alone a Cat. 2.

Quickly glancing at the 0z GFS ensembles - a greater number now don't have a closed low (underdeveloped) and/or have it crossing southern parts compared to yesterday's 0z. About a quarter just have it as a wave.
Don't want to tempt fate, but I feel we are heading, thankfully, to a more watered-down version.- 5

Now that I'm a homeowner, I'm hoping and praying that the strongest winds occur through the channel.

For us has had the same effect to be honest
Sort of. A Bartlett would traditionally give us some of our mildest Winters as it draws up warm southerly air. We've had persistent heights either just to the West or over the top which largely gives us cool but moderate temperatures for the time of year (aka...absolutely boring).
Would rather take the Bartlett so at least the daffodils can pop up to give us a little hope.- 2

Looking forward to the warmer weather now so I can get out in the garden, don't think Winter will deliver this year.

Altitude definitely made the difference. No snow on the ground in Hopwood, Worcestershire but as you climb another 50-80m towards longbridge, snow everywhere excluding major highways.

If its just rain here, I don't think ive ever seen rain fall on frosty ground before.

The solar flare and sun spot posts are always a good indication thaf it's looking bleak

Absolutely dire short term weather, absolutely dire long term forecast. At least it's Christmas, have a good one all!

If the trend is to correct the front southward against cold, dense air, then that's typically the trend you'd concentrate on. The fact that a few runs have progressively brought the front further south tends to mean that that's what will likely happen. It's rare to see northward corrections after successive southward corrections.
Probably miss us entirely at this rate.- 1

Yeah I can't remember the last time we saw just massive differences at just 4 days out. One thing's for certain, the cold is coming, it's just the energy coming off the Atlantic that's proving difficult model-to-model.

Frustrating that ukmo has a no show on meteociel. Not the first time it's done this at critical periods. Still showing yesterday's 12z run on wetterzentrale.de for me so don't know how people got access to it.
Probably showing a christmas day blizzard for much of the central belt of the UK and the metoffice are covering it up. Don't want to panic people

Hey. Sorry to bother, but would anyone be able to explain why the cold air just suddenly seems to stop moving southwards at around 93 hours to 108 hours?
Just a collision of airmasses completely cancelling out each others momentum.
