Turning to sleety pish here. Foul evening!

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

My folks in Carrbridge are reporting their power is out. Although the mobile network must be still up.

Heavy wet snaw here for some time, but nothing sticking. 

Seems to be lying off the road at Soutra on the A68.

Power went off here but back on now. Sceptical about how long that will last. Really picking up now. 

[Gogoslo]

That’s our power out now.  It’s proper scary stuff out there at the moment.

Yep our has gone again too.

[Penicuikblizzard]

Very strong gusts of wind and sleety rain pretty much sums it up here 

[ghoneym]

Flickering lights here. Still have power on at the moment. Fifejammerlocations on Facebook has pictures of trees down in lots of places in fife 

[Ross90]

Must admit i'm jealous of those in the NE, even if it is a bit dangerous/damaging I do like a good stormy spell. We haven't had 90mph in Lanarkshire since Jan 3rd a few years back (2013?) ... currently barely reaching 40mph here.

[Quinach]

Never heard before the kind of roar that is surrounding the house just now, not liking it at all. 

Going by the local Facebook sites, lots of the roads round here are blocked with fallen trees.  Power off until at least 10pm.  Still raining, 2c.

[Michael Kaii]

Quick question what would be my estimate wind gust down in Bo’ness as I’m only an hour away from the edge of the red warning and currently in the amber 

[snowidea]

A bit windy with sleety rain here in Falkirk, nothing too bad just yet. 

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Remarkably calm and clear in Glasgow.

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Just as I say that the first notable gust has hit…

[Snowandrocks]

Just had to head out to pick up my gf from work. Journey home was quite hairy, trees down everywhere and had to come across the parks for the last section from the main road. 

Lovely old cedar down blocking our track sadly. Temperature seems to have risen a bit so the snow from earlier has been replaced by driving sleet. 

[Coopsy]

Just popping in to say hope everyone is ok tonight, especially those in the eye of the storm. 

Having experienced some extreme winter storms over the years in Canada it’s amazing how ferocious Mother Nature can be, but can be scary as f%#^ when you’re in the thick of it, especially if you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Stay safe and hope there isn’t too much damage.

All the best

I hope you've saved some snow for me for Thursday onwards can't wait to get home.

Funnily enough next Thursday is forecast to drop off quite a bit with snow. Not before reaching mid teens this weekend. Good timing! I bet you can’t wait!

Wind sounds like a heavy lorry going past the front door. Not enjoying this at all. Husband is a great help - earphones clamped to lugs; listening to the soaps

[101_North]

A massive dose of 'meh' here so far. Windy with sleety pish isn't unusual

Not sure I'd be standing as close as that chap. 

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Lost power for a few mins earlier.

Weird sounds outside at times. As quick a look as possible and all gairden furniture, sheds etc still present and correct. Fir the now at least.

Dugs dinnae seem too keen about going out for a pee.

EDIT. Nae snaw, jist pish.

Love that episode @101_North

this is in dundee outside folks home, also tree down at myrekirk roundabout blocking the road. 

[Norrance]

Lots of banging around here but my only casualty apart for bins is my gas barbecue which was under a tarpaulin and weighted down by a breeze block. Lights said to be out in Carnoustie and across the river in Tayport. Flickering in Broughty Ferry. Heard report of thundersnow in Highland Perthshire and power cuts in the Killin area.

[Gogoslo]

Thats the power back on.   What’s scarier than  the wind is how much we rely on T’internet these days.  Anyway,  kids enjoyed the card games with by torch and candle light.  I read earlier that we are to hit peak gusts around 9pm.  Does anyone know if that is still the case ?
