The media are gonna have a field day after all their hype.
Here will be one of the imaginitive headlines tomorrow morning, with picture of course:-
Storm wreakes havoc !
I'm crouched under the stairs holding a metal tray above my head, laptop in hand (well almost) . Tins of fruit, baked beans and bread, milk (which I've kept in my cooler bag). I've tied down the wheely bin with a metal chain (just in case ) Is the storm here yet?!
You can say what you like. This output is still a big factor and I expect the UKMO and ECM to downgrade 'slightly' tomorrow.
And BTW I'm gutted. Was hoping this was gonna be the real deal .
At this stage, looks like a typical strong autumm gale. Based on current charts, comparing with the '87 storm is ridiculous - nowhere near, at the moment, and the charts would have change dramatically, which is unlikely.
Can't see no stalling Snow really prepped up now though with bigger flakes Maybe another hour or two here in west kent. Folkestone looking good for the next 3-4 hours.
