Very windy overnight, strongest gusts this year so far. Funny as it didn't warrant a 'name'.

Severe gales last night 48mph gusting to 76 below.

A fair number of trees down locally apparently,  here. Not surprised after the strength of that wind last night. Hardly got any sleep! Showers for tomorrow appear to have downgraded for my area. Typical!

Hmmm latest euro4 brings that shortwave closer to midlands and wales at 42 hours!!could potentially bring snow as it hits 850 temps of -6 and cold thicknesses across us!!gona keep an eye on that on the next run!!

[snowstorm27x]

Nice Hail shower here it absolutely pelted it down.

[BleakMidwinter]

We appear to have negative weather here. As in it isn't any particular kind of weather, more an absence of particular kinds of weather, ie it is not snowing, not raining, not windy, not still not sunny, not freezing, not warm, not anything...
