Yeah the Jan 2012 one was bonkers here. Never heard anything quite like that in my life. That constant roar, interspersed by the sound of the occasional 150yr old beech tree thudding down outside. Wasn't there something in May, maybe 2011? That was quite damaging here as the trees were coming into leaf.
-
59.6mph just now. That's the highest we've had here since 18th September 2018 (64mph). Amazing how you can hear surges like that approaching over 10 seconds or so, as the sound builds. Had to shore up the fence as a few more like that and it's coming down.
-
47.9mph highest here today, which is stronger than yesterday but yep still sounds relatively calm out there.
-
Rancid rancid rancid rancid rancid!!!
-
Peak gust here 45.6mph, so nothing out the ordinary. Just sounds worse than it is on the house up here when there's more of a southerly angle. When it's a SW'erly we barely hear it. An easterly on the other hand, well.....those sound decidedly weird. All kinds of odd rumbles and whistles and creaks.
-
Nah, I'll happily forfeit the snow if it means I can immerse myself further in this
-
SeemsI picked the worst possible week to spend a week in the far east of Sutherland and Caithness
-
Yep. We didn't get much of a squall here but the wind dropped very suddenly as the line passed. Weirdly quiet outside now. It was 9.7C an hour ago but it's dropped to 8.6C now.
-
The wait for lying snow goes on....but we did at least get snow on top of the Lomonds today. Shame they were 25 miles away!
-
How delightful that the squall line was the same shape as the A911. Horrid drive home from West Lothian just now. Crash on the M90. Almost zero visibility, and stretches of road were flooding that I've never seen flood before. Oh, and 11.8C the max up here today, making it the warmest January day I've recorded in the decade I've lived up here.
-
Temperature has been edging slowly upwards all day here. Currently 9.3C and still rising. Please make it stop!
-
Ha ha! Too true! My pals in Vest-Agder are dismayed at their 8C and pishing rain as well This is our tenth winter up here at 900ft and it looks like going down as our first without any lying snow this side of the new year
-
I can't even summon the enthusiasm to go for a walk in it!
-
Fun day in the snow today, up on the Ochils. Never ceases to amaze me how experiences like this are less than an hour's drive up the road
-
As with others, got our first falling snow of the season here just now.....albeit wet. 2.4C.
-
Sad to see the cold relent, but I must admit it’s nice to hear wind whooshing around the outside of the house this evening.
-
Maxed out at 2.6C up here today, and last night was the first time we’ve dipped below freezing this season. Only got down to -0.5C though.
-
Got the train through to Edinburgh today and there was even frost lingering in shady places in the city.
-
I have indeed But not as much as I'd like in winter, if I'm honest. Still, what few times I've done it, it's been memorable! Yesterday might not have had camping but it was still pretty glorious in Perthshire tbh The cover would go quite quickly in any mild spell but it's still really nice to see in November. Long may it continue!!
-
Now the sun's up I can see a light covering on the Moorfoots and Pentlands as well this morning.
-
High of 2.7C here in the Lomonds today. The air has been so wonderfully clear! I was tempted to head north today but was content to just pootle about at home instead, given the conditions
-
Beautiful!!! It's been a good autumn for late colour, presumably aided by the absence of anything vaguely stormy in these parts.
-
Likewise!
-
First snowy walk of the season today. Here's hoping there will be many, MANY more
-
Yep similar here. 28mm today and 49.5mm since Friday, and there are roads flooded around here that I've never seen flood before.
