It seems that the met office will issue warnings, then nothing happens.

Good hope it stays away, hate autumn, not really meant to affect here that much, more northern Ireland

[Sparkiee storm]

Although nothing significant here, I would still welcome it as its better than nothing :).

[Polar Maritime]

Very heavy rain and with gusts into the 60's just passed through here. A very wild 10 mins.

The wind here has easily been worse than what it was with eleanor i went on the school runs i would hazard a guess that gusts must have been pushing 60mph even down here.

[Sleet30031972]

Agreed. Much worse gusts over last hour or two than Eleanor. Seems to be a fair bit of snow forecast over next 72 hours on the netweather forecast :-) We'll see

 

[RobR]

Windier than Eleanor here too. Just been on high ground and sustained winds were high with gusts enough to push you, so at least 60mph. Love a good blow!

[Terminal Moraine]

A gust of 67 mph here at 1621 and a mean speed of 41 mph, both higher than during storm Eleanor.

Could tell that here in Dronfield TM that the sustsained winds were far stronger for a start and the gusts were nearly enough to knock you off your feet at times.

tropical 9 degrees here this morning, forgot my flip flops, could have worn 'em, even when it dried up at midday, not much cooler, 

Sun to Tues next week though look okay, dry, cooler

[The Wolf]

No sign of any snow at all. Very disappointing.
