Squall line went through ferociously about an hour ago, instantly followed by power cut, power just returned now. Mobile mast also went down, cos they don’t have backup generator. Also just back on now.

Still very strong gales here - didn’t ease up at all after the squall line passed over.  Don’t know why I wasn’t expecting this - probably didn’t look any further ahead than Eunice and didn’t think we’d get three on the trot….

However, it’s definitely brightening to my north and I think the rain has finally stopped!  The worst of the storm may be now moving away but the wind is forecast to remain strong overnight and for most of tomorrow.

The squall line has fragmented to next-to-nothing here in southeast Wales and the remains of it seem to have moved through without much drama, just some gusty winds. It's been an absolute soaker of a day though, with driving, moderate-to-heavy rain since the early hours of this morning. The rain should clear quickly from the west now. I'm just thankful we've avoided flooding, or anything close to it; we live in a house prone to flash flooding from overwhelmed drains in sudden downpours, like the kind that come from a squall. I do find extreme weather endlessly interesting, but it can be trying when flooding is a big worry.

Wondering if I can squeeze in a walk to check on the river heights before it becomes too dark.

Heavy showers across Ireland sleet Snow blizzards,could be interesting the next12hrs or so

That was an exhausting night.  Almost constant roaring from the wind across the roof made it difficult to sleep and this was made worse by stronger gusts every 10 minutes or so which lifted slates here and there and caused a noisy flapping sound.  Since this is directly above my head I found it hard to sleep for any length of time.  I’m actually glad to be up and about now.  I like all the variations of British weather but I’m fed up with the wind now.  We need a nice calm week to recover.

[snefnug]

Wasn’t too bad when I went to bed but howling and hurtling winds woke me, as did the over excited cat, at about 5:00.  Wind really strong now, hope no more power cuts.  Think morning dog walk out of question.

You might have to wait until the end of March before you tackle that, mate!

Early heavy rain now giving way to broken cloud and blue sky is visible again!  Might get some more welcome sunshine today to help dry things out.  Glad to see the back of the stormy conditions for the time being, and there are hopeful signs of more settled weather in the long range charts for March, although these are notoriously unreliable, of course!

Will be good to see some snow falling on Thursday but can't see it amounting to much

The first front sleet turning to snow the second front introducing colder air Thurday afternoon more outbreaks of snow so a very good chance of a good covering of snow across all of Wales.Winter last throw of the dice.

Life about opinions, the 528 damn line reaches the south Thursday so yes a good chance of seeing snow.

[dbaloo]

Is it to early to say goodbye to winter 21/22?

Im ready for some warmer and drier weather. Shame really as the start of winter offered so much promise yet it failed to deliver (so far anyway)

I'm afraid we are looking at a particular cold start to March,Hope it's wrong but March seems to be our coldeest month over the last few years.

I don't mind if it results in snow at the end of it, if it's not going to snow then warm up and stay dry

Nada, bit of rain, calm now, not even windy.

[CLH]

Well, I was worried that this winter would pass without seeing a single flake. I confirm I have seen a few seconds of them. 

[Sky Full]

A wet and miserable end to February, then.  A fitting last day for a pretty awful month which saw damaging winds over several days and higher than average rainfall but  next to no proper winter weather.  I think we had a couple of mornings at 0c here and a few wintry showers of sleet and wet snow, but nothing remotely threatening lying snow.   I will be glad to see the back of February 2022 for so many reasons and hope that March and the advent of Spring brings more settled weather as well as happier news on other matters as well.
