good weather to my friends who have bad weather

And bad weather to my enemies - as the CIA used to pray, back in the 1960s, as they cloud-seeded their way into attempting to induce crop failure across Cuba; and failing!!!

Hi saly - lovely to hear from you.

Bands of cloud rapidly gathering to the south west ahead of tonight's big blow - straight in with stage two in advancing fronts by the book, no messing with cirrus, sun haloes, pillars, or other forewarning signs.

I thought of Eastbourne, too (used to live there) - sounds like you're going near the bit where the KwikFit etc is - and, if you're coming from the A22, you'll go right past my old digs, ts (just before the level crossing at Hampden Park. if you want to give a wave).

A very light dusting of snow this morning in the Pennines - looks very scenic.

Well we never got the snow last night, and I took the scenic route along the A272 , which is actually quicker than the motorway and A27. A lovely drive it was,as 3 hour drives go,weather all very pleasant too.

Yes Ferney, very close to Hampden Park....in fact so close that I can actually get a train to Hampden Park should I wAnt to, £27 return from near Salisbury, which is a bargain, though it is 3 changes .
i'll give it a wave from you next time I am there. must get down to the front next time and actually enjoy the place for once.

Scary wind building here. 2C and dropping.

Really blowing like the clappers here nr. Bodmin Moor. No risk of snow I think.

This morning we were very white, half an inch maybe but it was mainly if not entirely hail, which came last night with plenty of thunder and lightning, much to the delight (abject panic) of one of my dogs

looked at forecast and decided Tues was best day to use boat from IoM to UK (apart from first 30mins or so when cups, computers etc decided that they didn't want to stay on table, it turned out a pleasant crossing with the boat in early tho with very few passengers) - today's boats were cancelled and with winds forcast to peak to storm force 10 in N Irish sea tonight suspect tomorrow's boats will not run.

Goodness, last night reminded me of Storm scenes by such composers as Britten, Beethoven, etc! Quite scary really.

That, apart from Scotland and the NW, should be the last of the really strong winds for some time to come. It is going to get quite a lot colder, especially in the S, though nothing record-breaking.

Pretty much Golden here abouts....(bringing alive the subfusc drab grey)....

Well, it is unfortunate, that me and MrsBBM have to go to a funeral of a family member, a dear aunt. Looks as though it will be pretty wet and cold in the village of Shamley Green, near Guildford.

[Flosshilde]

Commiserations. Funerals are bad enough without dreary weather.

The snow has reached Glasgow at last! Intermittent showers with sunshine between, & a nice layer of snow on the ground - not too deep. Isn't it strange how quiet it is even with just a little snow? Looking forward to a walk with the dog in Pollok Park later on. He enjoys a good roll in the snow.

the village of Shamley Green, near Guildford.

I believe that was where investigations into domestic moggie behaviour was conducted in that fascinating series of telly programmes a couple of years ago.

Early this week the Daily Depress promised that killer storm "Rachel" would be worse than St. Jude and Bertha .... well down here, although we had snow falling on ice making it treacherous for a while on roads and pavements (and the Black Mountains were totally covered and gleaming white), the gales weren't any worse than a normal winter, the main problem's been very heavy overnight rain, particularly last night. This morning, beautiful, sunny, felt really warm as no wind, now it's not much over 4° but still sun shining brightly. Snow promised here coming in during early hours and certainly the outlook seems much colder, but, as S_A says, nothing to frighten the horses.
