Just been out and it is horrible (yet awesome in a dangerous way) So bitterly cold in the wind, my fingers were hurting

The sea is churning and wind wild already. Quite happy to stay indoors this evening. That is not nice.

I think there are some fair comments here. If this was London, we'd know all about it - and rightly so. But this the UK - this is a major weather event. Not good coverage at all.

If it was a category 1 hurricane hitting the US there would be wall to wall coverage.

Sleet wet snow over EA and Essex ?

Drumochter on the A9 looks fun.

Defo the case on Social Media

 I had to masking tape the camera to the tripod. Boy, it is cold out there

Absolutely nothing in the strathclyde area at the moment, clear skies and a moderate breeze. Strange to be totally missing out on a stormy spell.

Driving back home from Buxton and seeing the tops of Storm Arwen being illuminated to the north was quite eerie, knowing what's on the way in a few hours from now.

 This from Glossop Mountain Rescue sounds like a lot more weather than we bargained for.

I was going to be heading up to Pym Chair (near Shining Tor) to catch the high-end of the gusts overnight but given the snowfall and likelyhood of tree's coming down I think i'll be giving it a pass for this time. Its only a short 5 minute walk to the open fields around here so I won't be too far away from the extreme weather tonight.

A slight relief to see the 12Zs, largely, restricting the very highest gusts of 90mph to an area 40 miles north or south of Berwick upon Tweed, only because this is a less built up area of the North East.

80mph still very much on for South Shields and Sunderland - still bad, but there's quite a difference in the destruction caused by an 80mph gale and a 90mph gale.

Here's one a few miles further north I took myself a few hours ago, will be much worse now

Worth bearing in mind that a significant population live away from the coast at elevation eg Consett which at 600m asl will most likely have blizzards and to all intents and purposes become cut off. If the power fails due to iced power cables it may well be a while before emergency services could get to them

Yes I note the hi-res models also show significant gusts well inland for elevated areas. There will be villages with problems tonight around the borders.

Agreed! A few years back we had a storm maxing out at about 80mph, yes it caused travel disruption and minor damage but everything was pretty much back to normal the following day. A few weeks later we had a storm with winds in the 90mph range, for the next few weeks every time I went out i'd see several people up ladders repairing damaged roofs as well as multiple trees being cut down as they had been damaged. 90 is where it goes from disruption and minor damage to widespread damage and lots of trees down.

Out on the school run at 3:30pm the wind was just starting to pick up, raining and freezing cold. 
Im about 3 miles inland from the north east coast and not looking forward to tonight.

Yes I think this is very likely. I have to say I am not in the 'Red Zone' but am at some elevation and the wind has become very noticeable over the last hour and a half. For those even further North in the warning area, it is going to be a nasty night. I just hope everyone is ok and can perhaps enjoy a winter wonderland tomorrow morning. A naive wish perhaps, but I still hope for the best. Will be fascinating from a weather perspective but there is an undoubted severe risk upon a fairly wide area with still significant populations within it.

winds really picking up now in Sunderland, and its snowing, albeit wet snow

Hey AJ!

I take it you'll be stood outside of the backdoor with a cheeky smoke on the go, later?

You'd best take a tube of "No more nails" tomorrow if this system strengthens any further.
