  1. The temp here has just dropped below 0C for the 1st time in er several days.

    <sarcasm alert>

    @dryfie Yay let's have some conspiracy theorizing! Go on, it's all a plan to make out the atmosphere is just as stable as ever and we'll be fine burning oil and gas as fast as possible so the big oil companies can keep on getting wealthier for their already stupidly rich shareholders.

  2. Maximum here of 13C, very gusty (probably some gale-force blasts), dry apart from a few mins light rain early afternoon.

    Chris Faulks on the radio talking about the Foehn effect being partly responsible for the high temps.... Is that actually the case when the wind is so strong? My poor understanding suggests that with very strong and gusty winds, there'll be so much mixing that air warmed would be diluted by cooler... But I suppose the answer is, well, what else is causing these elevated temps, and I have no answer.

    I'm glad not to be out in this at the moment, wild sounding winds and lashing rain. Nice shadow showing on the cold front (top left) at mo

    Those windspeeds look a bit wild - it's flat clam calm here just now. The rain has been no more than moderate the last couple of hours. So certainly some gloom, but not all doom.

    Wild wet and windy Another dark miserable day. Even this dry area is getting fed up of all this rain Rivers are all running very high.

     

    Yes. Opening the curtains at 9am made little difference - most of the indoor lights are still on here. I just looked at the radar and wish I hadn't.

    Ghastly day here, storm last night was nowhere near as bad as we were expecting but been to Invergordon today as hound is poorly and quite a lot of damage around there.  Driving heavy squalls today with sleet , hail and wet snow still howling winds too ug. No t sure about milder spell briefly 7.2 last night but dropping all day from about 4.3C at 9am. 

    A friend travelled north today and reported rivers running really high - the Helmsdale and Halladale he mentioned...

  6. I fell asleep last night before the worst of the wind was forecast. It didn't wake me up so I can't comment other than to say there are local power outages and more trees down.

    What I hadn't remembered to report here was that the heavy snow last Thursday brought down the odd tree locally. That's the first time I remember this happening round here since 2010.

    Brief but lively showers blowing through today...

    My French cat Renard has just done the same but back pronto!

    We've put down an indoor litter tray for this cat in the last few days, for the 1st time since she was small. She just won't go out when it's like this and tbf, I'd prefer a litter tray to baring my weeble over a patch of snow or a mound of sodden soil in the p1$$1ng rain.

    Really getting going here now. Went to take dog out, she peed on grass and went back to step. It’s an unusual direction right now coming directly from the south. 

    No rain, no wind here, just dark and (yawns) mild.

    No dogs either!

    Lol hang on - anaprop shouldn't get me wet!!
