I think I read somewhere on another forum  that the system seems to be more north east than modelled. Couldn’t remember if they were referring to the snow or the wind ... .. time will tell I suppose .. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Interesting wind gusts early morn. Think I’ll retire now and get some non interrupted by escaping wheelie bins sleep in before then. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Here comes that rain... although radar suggesting some sleet for some

Most disappointing to be downgraded on the gale front although other weather apps are still dishing out warmng all over the place . 

It was certainly breezy at lunchtime , nearly took the garage door off . All quiet in the Western front now though . 

  

You must have been reading my mind, I was about to say never mind the snow or snowt now for us, what is situation on the Winds forecast tonight... you say downgraded? Where's the downgrading come from? Exactly as you said the apps and forecast still showing about 50mph for where I am which is rare.

Meanwhile we have Thundersnow..

Oo now that is a rare bonus! Enjoy! 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

i can’t see how we are going to get anything wintry in central southern... looks like the ppn will either be to the north or south leaving us with a clear space of nothingness.

Met Office snow and ice warning is now covering a larger area, and I have been removed!

Am in it! Yay. So lots of rain for us... 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Well the highways are expecting something .. roads grittted to the hilt tonight.. so much so almost skidded on it! Off roading on the road ha ha 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Oh look some lovely rain on its way to Newbury.... for a change ...

Reading is still sunny and bright..

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Well well well well - nothing but lovely sunshine here - and a few clouds. Now, without the microscopic chance of some snow, ordinarily I would be over the moon after the dull, depressing still few days of late, but I seem to be a little disappointed. Must shake that off. When is it getting windier - just feels like a fresh spring breeze at the mo. Wish I wasn't working... boo.

[Storm Eleanor - Atlantic Storm 5]

I think our local weather station at Thatcham recorded 69mph. Am dreading coming home from Scotland today to strewn bins as no one will have picked them up. Why is that? Hoping that is all I come home too... 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Just how long is that squall line? Wow.. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Hmm. Think the coastal walk is out of the question today. 

[Scotland/Alba Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/17 onwards]

Am used to the mild breezes of Berkshire, and occasionally the gales of south coast. Up in Inveraray currently and it certainly not feeling out of the ordinary right now.. ha ha.. I quite fancy though going out for a nice walk. Clear the ? head.. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Up in Inveraray and storm Dylan is packing a few punches.. quite a change from the snow and ice and being stuck on near Glencoe for an hourly so on account of some Poor person sliding off the road. Yes it is sheer ice not water on those photos . (If I can manage to post them) 

 

Anyone know when storm Dylan due to pass? 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Hope y’awl enjoying the festivities and some snow? Feels like am missing the action or I’ve the snow shield. Up in Inveraray with a trip to Isle of Skye tomorrow so hoping that warning does stay further south for you.  Although am not favouring the ice situation .... 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Merry ? all of you. Hope you having a wonderful time..

so am up in Durham and due to Travel to Inveraray tomoz.. there’s a murmur of snow in some places but am having difficulty trying to catch up and assess the situation... any thoughts anyone can give me on the impending forecasts for the northern half of the uk? Thank you kindly xxx

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Hmm ... whilst no snow on the horizon , we still have the icy night ahead of us... Just looked at my forecast,. -6 tonight and a wind chill of -12  ........ Mr CEO of southern electric will be rubbing his hands in glee tonight as all of us whack up the heating.... those that can though - I presume some are still without power... . This is when we really need to check on our elderly neighbours.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Hey for some reason I am awake.. oh no tell a lie I know why. My lodger is up and this is a small house so can hear everything. Strangely too it feels warm tonight and I don’t have the heating on? Hmm. Anyway I digress. I get the feeling that storm will skirt along the channel and will fall as rain. I hope to be corrected of course. Just can’t see it happening.

worth noting, the new system in Biscay is throwing up ppn considerably further north than model output I've seen and is already showing up on radar in the SW approaches....one to possibly monitor for tomorrow morning

Oh look the M4 shield holding fast again 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

It looks carnage out there further north of me, and not so far away. Looks like it could a stay at home day for some tomorrow. Many schools closed.
