I have travelled from the south to Manchester and at 9am it was calm but a bit wet.  Arrived here and it is so bad..  Was this planned?

Today it is so bone-chilling!! Definitely the coldest feeling day of the  season with the cold Winter rain. It feels certainly like a sub-zero day. The wind chill was -1C today!!

 

This storm deserved to be named!!! It has thundery elements in now!!

Canning it down, absolutely horrendous.  The rain shadow has had to give way to this ferocious onslaught.

Not heard any thunder or seen any lightening here, but then again I'm deaf in my left ear since this bloody cold I had over three weeks ago. It has been very bitter cold winds today and raining , it's raining now and still windy

Great name but meant to be alphabetical

 Is it not Barbara then? I thought it was on the point of being name.
