[toggerob]

What a dreary day here. Overcast and blowing 50+mph gusts at times, we've had some 10mm of rain falling since midnight although I think the reading may be out on this due to the wind blowing whatever was out of the gauge. Peak Gust has been 61mph at 1.19pm so far.

Hail shower here now... 5.8c and dropping.
