Hey all, well hope the day went well for all you folks, thanks bus for the info,as a newbie its great info on what is going on. you must be on the red bull by now! Over my way its 4.6 degrees and breezy...no snow but a heavy sleet shower last night.. So, i have my new glow in the dark wolf shirt on, my new socks on and a rifle ready for the next box of after eight mints i see...(yuck) Im not a xmas person at all but its been great and loved this forum at the same time to.. Everything is crossed for friday, We more or less get the eye of the depression and i have no idea what that will bring apart from a 950mb i think? Will be real interesting, 2 sleeps to go!! Anyway, sorry to but in on any chatting...but thanks again for a great few days keeping the dream alive guy's. Time for a cuppa now, but i do wish you guys a good few days and the best new year when it comes......its just so refreshing to meet a "real nice group of people" roll on friday!!

amen Bus

Hammerwich is about right, I remember even though its inland some pretty serious weather systems of past hit hard on the midlands...also heard about bhams tornado etc its blowing a real hoolie up here just now......fridays charts look real interesting, isobars seem tight over the midlands to...im inexperienced but it looks bad. lets see what it brings. sorry to gate crash this region...im away over to the other side the now

update from N/W highlands, Really good winds building here, getting very stormy.

Well i must admit i joined here last night and have had the best time with all you folks....the emotion and work that is in some of the post's is so gratefully received, its been an absolute pleasure sharing this storm with you guys. There is some amazing information in some posts, and the work that some people put in trying to keep us updated and uploading images etc has made my first experience here memorable. I think its the energy that flows through this forum with anticipation of what is to come, looking at what nature has to throw in her awesome power and knowing that man will never tame her. She is an uninvited guest to some and a VIP to other's. I really cannot believe the passion on here, its really made my week...roll on friday, and i cant wait to be with you guys when it comes! Thanks for all the information guys and your efforts, i really appreciate it. Hope everyone is in good spirit and keep the energy flowing!

Pipe hill is 1 mile from my parents way, anker was really bad, i mind fishing it a few times wi oot any luck lol thanks for the info....my folks are no speaking to me ( religion) my family hasnt for 13 years since i was 16 or 17 so i do wonder how things are weather wise down there and that people are ok. so thanks for the wee update.

Quick post to say thankyou so much for the support.

Thanks to both of you, i have a wee bit to learn but its nice to ask and get help with oot feeling like a plum ...thanks again guys ..i use MC meteological charts. french i think. quiet just now but the MC model shows in a few hours its lairy times up here? heres hoping for wheelie bin number 4 casualty im sat willing it to go, well ive no tornado's to watch but trust me wheelie bins are lethal...............sigh meteociel.fr is the charts i use.

BUS, im gonna sound daft now but what is ECM AND GFS???? well anyone? go easy on the newbie

Hey folks, im in the north west scottish highlands....i have family down canock and lichfield way and see some serious flooding down your way. anyway was just a wee note to say hope you folks stay safe and have a good xmas. up here has been not too bad, but december 5th saw 165mph at cairngorm and 143mph ground level. thought the roof was away! anyhoo all the best folks and im thinkin of you with the flooding down that way etc

Still nothing more than 50mph here, just bad weather no storm......i wonder if later will bring a bitty more? Still fridays yet folks, that could yield something worth watching. But for now the wheelie bin guage is at 3 casualties in my street lol windchill is face numbingly low though. New here but wish everyone a fab few days regardless of no storm to watch

Man this is an anti climax so far, although my neighbor twice attempted the A9 south which has been shut well...twice!! Im away over the glen to pick up a sofa, best do it today as i wont get out tomorrow for all the snotty nosed little , i mean kids on new bikes ....

Nothing much happening lairg way, just wet and windy, in fact just now is calm as get out. Think its meant to be this evening it really gets rolling. to now a gust of 52mph and windchill -5. pressure still hovering at 940mb

Here we go!!!! i can confirm she is arriving!! my alarm has just sounded, pressure at 942mb and falling.. impressive bank of cloud in the distance that looks black.

Right BUS thanks for that, appreciate it... pressure at my point is falling steadily now and at 950mb. flat calm outside though, not a breath of wind at all. time to hit the sack and see what the morrow brings .

my bad sorry, i mean in severity?? buried undersnow

Thats 951mb here and sleet moving in, gentle breeze. reading 3'c here.... weathermaster, your neighbors shed lol?? mine ended up in next doors garden during bawbag. it is now rebuilt with a metal outer skin and strapped down.....sas shed lol, bring it on nz18 nae! im no scared. If im too at home here by the way its because when i mention the weather to herself i get a blank look then change o subject..darn good to be here folks. thankyou Buried undersnow, would you put money on fridays?? or tomorrows??

Thanks hairy celt, i thought hurricanes were calm in the eye and accelerated outwards and the atlantic storms we get accelerated from outer edge to the eye?? Im not sure anyway as im a new complete novice as you can guess.. i have a lot to learn!! Im jealous of the way some of you guys talk but i'll get it in the end at some point Im getting 953mb on the pressure, 3 degree's ambient and -3 windchill temps. she is not happy the ferrets have come in but i cant leave me wee babes oot in a whoolie

Hey people, Im in north west highlands, 956mb at mo and just waiting for it to fall....this is getting weird now, calm outside and i can feel something is coming yet alone know. caught the last few gemanoids (sp?) tonight through a gap in the forest. they are so beautiful! Anyway, i very kindly had an invite here and just wanted to say its a pleasure to be here...now back to storm watching...does anyone think the depression that follows tomorrows is worse for us up here?? the eye lands right on us? Tris

Hi people, My first post here as a novice, im watching the pressure tumbling here in the north west highlands. my thoughts are with those down south and i hope everyone stays safe! On december 5th i thought we were going to lose our roof, somehow my weather mast stayed up! it was the first time i was in fear and myself and the wife moved to the center room downstairs at 3.30am...the thunder and lightening with it was prophetic! But i have been tracking this storm for around 7 days and im nervous to be honest....but the low pressure following also concerns me, it seems epic??!! on the second low pressure system around new years eve the "eye" lands right on the highlands. As a novice could someone tell me about the eye of these storms? I know they are not like hurricanes but is that the worst area in an atlantic storm as a given rule?? or is it the mildest? I have a feeling being where i am that its going to be a wee bitty rough up here!!! thoughts with down south though in a big way! Tris
