Well that was completely over hyped....a bit of rain and breezy conditions with the odd moderate gust thrown in!

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. 

I'm sure it's quite bad in certain parts of the country but where I am it absolutely hasn't,  it's just breezy here with the odd stronger gust! 

As a lover of extreme weather it's been quite a disappointment to me and I'm in Sth Wales.

Do we have a stronger period of wind for south Wales coming? Been up to 65-70mph but very few and far between

I don't think a red warning was really necessary for our region tbh.

[Storm Eunice - 18th February]

Any idea when the strong winds will reach my neck of the woods?

[Storm Eunice - 18th February]

3 hours since red warning began and still nothing significant to report yet.

[Wales/Cymru Regional Weather Discussion]

Overcast and Raining here and quite windy but still no strong gusts yet.

Might be calm in many places but it's really, really windy here already - windiest I've seen in many a moon so given that this is nowhere near peak then I'd say I'm worried.  My instincts aren't good on this but I hope to have egg on my face in front of friends family and work colleagues later... 

I'm in the red area and 90 mins in we have a moderate breeze so far.

[Wales/Cymru Regional Weather Discussion]

I just hope I haven't taken the day off work due to a stiff breeze!

[Storm Eunice - 18th February]

45 mins into the red warning and calm as you like here.

[Wales/Cymru Regional Weather Discussion]

30 mins into the red warning and still nothing noteworthy here.

Very poor from Met not issuing a red warning earlier, people at work saying Amber warnings hardly anything happens usually, no good upgrading to red at 4am most normal folk are asleep then,

Met office losing its credibility by the hour

2nd red warning not in force until 10am , I'm sure most will be awake long before then.

[Wales/Cymru Regional Weather Discussion]

Raining here and fairly breezy but nothing too wild at the moment.

Temp is dropping like a stone here, wonder if I’m high enough for the white stuff.

My wife just said that!

[Storm Eunice - 18th February]

I'm a delivery driver in Cardiff for Tesco and I should be working tomorrow.....I wonder if deliveries will be cancelled....somehow I doubt it.

Hope that works Frayed Knot looks like it links to the sub section I’m reading ie the New England regional thread. The software used looks very much like our site so it’s very easy on the eye. 
mind you if you think our Model output thread gets tense and bitter sometimes it’s really tame up to this lot OMG

Fascinating reading through....think I might become a member

I think the word Meh sums up tonight’s outputs ! 

They’re not crxp enough to throw some toys out of the pram and neither are they good enough to have coldies bulk ordering ear muffs and scarfs !

Overall the outputs have downgraded the cold and wintry potential but the margins are quite small and could still edge the other way so all is not lost .

 

I'd say that sums things up rather nicely.
