Not looking forward to this, at least hubbys hovercraft is under cover as long as the roof does not blow off. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-15873222

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately my son goes to Plockton High School so he will be travelling back on the bus tomorrow afternoon. If I know it is going to be really bad I just won't send him into school. My hubby is an ambo technician based in Lochcarron and is on shift tomorrow so hopefully he won't get called out in it. I definitely won't be venturing out in it thats for sure. Our tide falls in line with Broadford so quite a high tide for us as well. We have forewarned a neighbour who has his small boat near the slipway in Lochcarron and yesterday he took it out of the water as a precaution. Please stay safe over there in Breakish. Take care everyone else in the firing line. Becky

Yes I have been watching this site as well, looks very interesting.

Already battened down here

I for one am very grateful for Netweather and all the informative posts on here. I know that I will be forwarned about the weather well before the media and the Metoffice so can be prepared.

Welcome to the forum Maitland

For goodness sake if you want to see some decent stormy weather move to the US. I for one will just wait and see what happens. I would much rather we did not have any bad weather coming.

??????????????????????????????

You are more than welcome to get whats coming this way, January 2005 we had loss of life up here and carnage. Have just started sorting the garden out, putting stuff away like the patio table, chairs etc. Hubby has just taken his hovercraft off the trailer and faced it towards the direction of the wind we are supposed to have on monday, if left on the trailer it is likely to get damaged at least now it has a chance. It is 22.8 here now and it is feeling very very muggy. Sometimes when the weather is bad here I wish I was still living down South West England. Cricky just looked at my weather station and it says 23.7 wow

feels very muggy here 17.5 degrees and rising

Oh great really looking forward to this storm (not) Hubby is worried about his hovercraft that is going to be really exposed to the wind. Not a lot we can do about it except for see what happens when and if it happens.

Just found this on the BBC news website http://www.bbc.co.uk...otland-14851926 And also this one: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14854581

Congratulations

I remember the storm here in Jan 2005 this was before I moved up here in February 2005 there were quite a few lives lost and very severe damage. My now next door neighbour had one of her windows blow out. I would hate to have a repeat performance of that storm system.

Yes Black Labrador the photo was taken when she was a puppy, we also have a female chocolate labrador Cala who is eleven and Reilly (male) Yellow Labrador who is nineteen weeks old today. Sorry mods very off topic.

Luvly dog by the way lol Is he yours? Thankyou, Yes she is my dog and her name is Faelan aged three and a half.

There is not a lot anyone can do about this ex Katia storm wherever it hits. The weather will do what it likes. I am just going to be prepared when and if it does come this way.

Yep up here in Scotland we are used to the high winds. It will be just a breeze I think Joking aside please stay safe wherever you are.

pressure now down to 977.8. Better go and rescue the kayak that has just blown across the garden. Please be careful everybody out in this stuff today.

If only this were to happen, sounds fantastic.

Sounds right up my street

Just got up to find it has been snowing in the night and settled, and it is still snowing quite heavily.
