  1. Yeah looks like he went for missed approach at heathrow then opted for a landing elsewhere instead of being stacked for another 20 mins + 14,000 feet now heading NW'ish so i'd presume a Birmingham divert considering he's a heavy (767)
  2. BAW781C going around edit: I say going around, he's off to the west now, either diverting elsewhere on into a stack
  3. Just had a wee peek and looks like BAW781C from Stockholm to Heathrow has opted for a go around, up to FL80 now. current heathrow metar: EGLL 232150Z 20025G38KT 9000 RA BKN016 BKN020 12/10 Q0981 terminal forecast (probabilty 30%) going for gusts of 53 knots from the S/SW. I wouldn't want to be landing an aircraft in that!
  4. Have to apologise if any of my posts have come across as anti-english this evening, can assure everyone it was not intended. I have english family myself and fully understand the disruption they are experiencing down south, it's a severe event for the entirety of the UK
  5. They are having none of it in the severe weather thread tonight. I suppose it is a tad childish but true nevertheless
  6. Unsurprisingly a huge segment on BBC News atm for the softy southerners. Oh is that a plastic bag on the line at Euston? Seriously though, tomorrow looks rough for northern parts including us of course
  7. Doubt they'll be any media coverage for the north tomorrow, or if there is, maybe a 5 minute segment if we are lucky?
  8. I don't think many scots will dispute the severity of the 87 storm, it was an extremely severe event and nothing can be taken away from that. I think what gets us is the complete lack of media coverage when events such as the storm of 2-3 weeks ago and 'Bawbag' occur. Yet when 60mph winds are forecast in the south its blanket coverage
  9. Two insanely deep areas of low pressure coming up, batten down the hatches and stay safe everyone. These ain't your regular wheelie bin topplers!
  10. As mentioned earlier by a poster should be some fairly swift eastbound transatlantic flights in the next 1-2 days! Tonights chart and they are taking advantage of the quick jetstream
  11. Light to moderate snow around 30 mins ago here with a nice wee dusting on the sides of the pavements. 0.6C
  12. Ashes getting more coverage than this storm, typical BBC...
  13. Police Scotland are now advising drivers to avoid travelling across the central belt, just heard via Twitter. Where's the red warning? No BBC coverage either unsurprisingly. Whole rail network shut until this afternoon as others have said. "Transport Scotland has escalated its warning to Stage Four (Red Warning) which means "avoid travelling on the roads" in the south, west, central belt and into South Perthshire."
  14. Just been down to the local supermarket for the morning papers and can report their front door is off its hinges. Much more and it won't have a front door. Suppose it was to be expected as it's open to the NW. Lights still on and off at times and strong gusts quite regularly. Rain off for now
  15. Highland Main Line has a train stuck after hitting a tree and looks to be closing. Tree over near the ERI aswell
  16. Insanely windy here ATM, wind has been battering the side of the house since the early hours Edit: lights flickering every so often
  17. There may still be HOPE!!! Rumours afoot that whatever has survived seems to be getting brighter
  18. On tenterhooks now! Is this ISON back from the dead? http://cometison.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/data/two/0211/20131128_182325_1024_0211.jpg
  19. Yes was very interesting to track and has no doubt provided masses of data to astronomers around the world. Always seems to be the one's with hype that never come to much. Can't remember Mcnaught in 2007 getting any hype at all
  20. Just watching the hangout on youtube and tbh Karl Battams (NASA scientist) looks very saddened and dejected. RIP ISON
  21. Some rumours going around that its gone for good . Mind you just rumours so might no be true Edit: Latest STEREO C2 image circa 1742 doesn't bode well
  22. No problem Edit: Euro one seems a fair bit behind the US one currently, still got circa 0900 data from the LASCO C2
