Wildest I remember for a few years. Just been out to secure the pizza oven which, despite the weight in it and the stand not even having 4 wheels, was on its way across the patio. Could barely get the outward opening patio doors which are facing directly into the wind open. One try at Glasgow, then south for one try of runway 21 at Prestwick before ending up in Manchester after declaring an emergency (presumably fuel). Pilot of the night goes to Jet2 from Prague who I think has been the only one to get into Glasgow tonight.

Congrats @Northern Strath Very wet but been calm all morning. Wind just starting to pick up now so this seems the beginning of it ramping up as we go through the afternoon. Trampoline weighed down so hopefully it will stay put! Still seems a lot of uncertainty with the possibility of a narrow band of stronger winds muted in the northern of the amber warning areas. What would the thinking be there, a sting jet? In terms of the idea of tornadoes, having been to Jersey three weeks after Storm Ciarán and seen first hand the destruction from the tornado there, certainly something to be avoided!

-8 again on the car leaving this morning and -1 now. Caught a little shower here earlier but everything else fizzled out long before it reached here. Looks like it has been an epic spell for those further north but nothing more than a dusting for me. Nice cold spell even if snow was lacking here. All eyes now on some pretty foul weather heading in for the weekend.

-8 on the car leaving for work this morning although a much more tropical -2 when I arrived at work in Dumbarton. Just home and -3 on the car now. Clear skies and sun. Everything frozen solid. Radar looking very lively to the northwest and there will certainly be some further signifiant accumulations. Loving the snow pictures! Very jealous!

Some great photos today and I’m not jealous at all From the forecast and modelling I thought I would do well here, but an epic fail. Not just on the lack of snow but the complete lack of precipitation as, other than a dusting this morning and some sleety pish at lunchtime, it’s been dry. Everything now frozen and a complete ice rink out there. Like @Ross B some nice patterns on the cars.

Got friends in Jersey in the Channel Islands and they had a similar covering this morning. A rare event there. Cameras at home showing a frost this evening. Not likely to get anything off a northerly but looking forward to hopefully coming home to a cold spell with maybe the potential for frontal snow as it goes on.

Horrid day and the rain has just never let up. Now as heavy as it’s been all day. Lots of local flooding. As others have said, surely the impacts today which have been quite severe warranted an amber warning? Rightly or wrongly, I generally take a yellow warning as something to be aware of, but not something I would immediately change my day to day plans because of. Although certainly wouldn’t go hill walking or anything like that!
