Numerous mice a problem here too, despite 3 cats have had several in the house. Also one has taken up residence in my van, happily munching through the sound proofing in the foot well, think I will have to set a trap in there before he reaches the electrics. Another wet and very windy morning temps around 6C in harsh nor easterly windchill around 2-3C another 17mm rain overnight.

Heavy driving rain here really setting in now, past 15mm winds violently gusting from SE but thanks to trees and polytunnel weather station not picking upthe higher gusts which I would guess around 60mph. Large tree down on lower Lairg to Bonar road. On roof window clearly see sleet in the torrential burst despite temperature hovering around 9C . Pigs went to bed at 230pm and not been seen since!

Wild here with just drizzle in the wind. Reading some guy, Steve Connelly I think who is a transport chief I believe stated that last floods a couple of weeks back were the worst severe weather in Scotland since 1890!! either yet another example of hype hysteria or typo from the BBC either way not corrected. If reports are correct we are looking at up to 3 inches of rain here. 71940025641__2E9B453D-E99B-44B6-B47B-2ED7D6E28D55.MOV

Waders at the ready, thankfully we are high up but looks grim none the less. Just working out as approximately one inch rain gives around ten inches snow we would be looking at around 30-40 inches on a se severe Gale, Aberdeenshire higher parts would be looking at 80-100 inches of snow so maybe good job it is not January!

Driving over the higher mountain road on the Isle ofMan this morning to catch the morning ferry to Liverpool there was a covering of wet snow over the road (height approx 1300ft, expecting the hills back home will catch the first snow cover later today as I make the long drive home. V windy and showery back home on the north facing field cam
