Am I right in thinking that the storm that hit on 3rd January 2012 strengthened just hours before hitting the central belt causing damaging winds and the Met Office issuing a red warning?
I seem to remember a flash red warning for the central belt and experiencing some of the scariest winds I have ever witnessed. It was worse than the famously named storm Hurricane Bawbag a month earlier
I wonder if Dylan has the potential to do the same
The only time in my life where I really sha t myself from the weather

Do NOT go into the model thread and do NOT comment on the low heading north it’s for your own safety
any way its times like this u should of washed your windaes as lamppost watching will be tricky
Hello aggy i was wondering where you managed to find the model thread I've been trying all day to find it in the usual place but i think the Russians have hacked it
Also please please please god never let me be snow starved for 4 years because today i have witnessed it and the results are truly terrifying

Pretty much a north south split today as the front that briefly cleared to the south yesterday reverses and tracks north...
Continued improvement is better than delayed perfection

A *very* dark cloud to my N/NW just now, been slowly drifting past for a while and now getting slightly closer. Anyone in the NW suburbs of Glasgow or West Dunbartonshire able to confirm if they're getting hit? Sure I saw a bolt of lightning out the corner of my eye earlier too.
About 5-10 mins of heavy rain and a bit gusty here in the trossachs no thunder and lightning though

Unfortunately the down side to such a prolonged dry spell in Scotland is the inevitable hose pipe ban

Very cloudy here but it has at least managed to stay largely dry so far. Temp sat at a fairly consistent 11C, whoop de do.
If only we could manage those sort of temperatures at Christmas it would feel more seasonal than the last few

School the best days of your life (not) i can remember it like yesterday most people listening and learning me eyes focused out the window seeing what the weather was doing far more interesting. Like yourself HC i too look in the paper to see how my old teachers are getting on not the obituary part but the crime one only a matter of time until all the bullys and beasts are jailed

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!! BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MEGAMEGAMEGAFREEZINGSUPERCOLDILICIOUS! zomg we're gonna die of cold and there will be 20 feet high drifts of snow and polar bears will cross the frozen thames and maul the citizens of London!!!!!!!!! 8 week Siberian freeze coming and in other news immigrants cause cancer (Express headline).
Sorry, couldn't help myself. What is even more amusing is how UK cold spells even when they do eventuate are actually very tame. Meanwhile 1500km to the east the ground has been frozen with snow cover for over a month and on the slow moving parts of the River Vistula you can stand on the ice, yet this is a pretty normal winter. In the UK if that happened it would be considered one of the great historic winters. All about perspective I guess.
Pretty normal and pretty routine then that is something you don't often say about the u.k weather at least that's what makes it interesting .

Well this is certainly a winter to forget i certainly cannot remember a more boring winter than the one we are currently enduring. Even last years storms when i lost about a months wages after my workplace got damaged was far better than this I'd gladly take extreme weather over money any day just as long as i stayed alive

Hello I've just been lurking around the regional threads to see what's happening in the u.k and I couldn't help but notice the amount of pages you guys have amassed today 44 pages in 8 hrs that is pretty busy and probably the reason why the power keeps flickering

If I didn't live in the furthest SE corner of Scotland I'd be getting excited:
Edit: the charts are looking better and better in my opinion, someone could get a good whack of snow if these come off.
Maybe someone who lives in West central Scotland BOOM!!!!

Good evening it now looks like Christmas is going to be mild in the west of Scotland I think there's 2 options 1st one is mild and drizzly air off the Atlantic or slightly cooler drizzly air off the stagnant polluted continent . For once the mild Atlantic dross sounds the better option
-
That is a grim forecast not totally unexpected. quite a safe bet as 9 out of 10 British winters fall into this category
-
850s of +10 for Scotland on the shortest day I'm pretty sure it was only +8 on the longest day .I was always a bit sceptical about man made climate change now I am starting to think that it's true and we have definitely broke the planet.

So it now looks like uncle barty is coming round for chrisrmas he'll now doubt raid the fridge and the freezer and take anything that's cold away.Then after his unwanted 2 week stay he'll just get up and leave and all that will be left is the mild yellow and green stain from where hes been plonked.
