To ask if you've made any plans ahead of the Storm tonight?

Don’t think we are projected to be hit badly - Hampshire/Surrey borders. DS works from home on Fridays anyway. Supermarket delivery came today as normal. I’ll put the recycling bin under cover in case we do get some wind.

I have a dentist appointment tomorrow so will need to go out but if it’s very bad I’ll cancel.

I am very glad our neighbours dealt with their huge half dead conifers a few months ago though!

Same didn't have a clue

Yes. I flew to Alicante this morning ☺️🤣

Got a red weather warning here from 4pm onwards, so I’ve cooked a curry to see if my gusts are stronger 💨😁

@momahoho1 only storms that are likely to have an amber or red warning raised for them get named, so only the ones that are expected to have medium or high impact.

I filled the car up, as previously petrol stations were closed

Oh unclench. Shopping a day early is not scaremongering 😂

I'm the same, OP - am doing my weekly shop in a sec rather than tomorrow. Keeping an eye on socials for any peep of the school being shut, so I'm not panicking tomorrow morning. Covering plants in fleece.

Red weather alert here, so we’ve charged the power banks and torches. I’ve made sure my mum is prepared, other than that we’ll stay home and wait it out with wine!

I've been snowed in for a week, had to give my neighbour some cat food as they ran out, so remember to check pet food supplies!

I'm right in the middle of where it's supposed to be bad. I have plenty of food in already (no specific buying).

I've brought lots of logs into the house so that hopefully minimises having to go out and get them, and I've charged up my power bank and big torch in case the power goes off for a bit.

We’re high up and well used to getting battered by foul weather so, as usual, I have plenty of food, logs, batteries and anything else that might be needed/useful.
The wild bird feeders are full, the house is warm and we’ll see what transpires.

There's a red wind warning for Cornwall now, so if I was under that I would make sure everything was secure, that I had enough milk in and what I needed to work from home so I didn't have to leave the house. I would also make sure I was prepared for a power cut (power bank charged, for example). It's sensible, not panicky, to be weather ready.

I worry mainly about slipping over, snow is generally easier to walk in

No storm forecast here, what region are you in?

I have also bought some stuff that I would otherwise have gone to get tomorrow, just in case the roads are bad tomorrow. I don’t know why people are giving you a hard time OP, surely it makes sense to not go out unless you have to when the weather is as forecast?

Every called storm in this country is just a well storm in a teacup. At most it’s going to last a few hours, so if you are down to 5 slices of bread and a dribble of milk best but some but for most people you just wait a few hours at most.

I’ve had flash up BREAKING NEWS on my phone, red warning for SW England but turns out to be just western Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, 3 hours drive away! So no I’m not rushing out, we have food in case but I’ll be going to work as normal by car whatever the weather

We live on a hill in the Peak District so when we did the supermarket shop earlier in the week made sure that we’d have enough to last throughout the weekend in case we get snowed in. I won’t drive in bad weather & could technically walk to a shop but don’t fancy it if I don’t have to.
Obviously it depends where you live, there are some people on this thread who perhaps don’t realise what it’s like to live rurally.

No snow here yet though the sky looks ready to go at any second!

Not panicking here but like OP I went shopping today so that if the weather is truly bad tomorrow I don't have to go anywhere. Luckily I work from home later in the week anyway so won't have to venture out :)

Am due to go somewhere on the train on Saturday, hoping they'll still run - if not do have ticket protection so won't be the end of the world.

I’m disabled and today’s been the first day that it’s not too icy to go out on sticks. I went into town with my carer and we picked up some shopping so that if it does snow ,as predicted here, then I’ll be ok for a few days

I live up north. We have stormy weather here lots, so it never makes a difference whether it's named or not 😂

I'm right on the edge of a yellow snow warning area. It's pouring with rain and the forecast is for heavy rain all night even though we're technically in the warning area. It's no way cold enough for snow and the sky is rain sky not snow. I would like some snow but we don't get it very often, often have a winter with none at all.

SE London. Don’t think we’re getting the brunt of it. Bought an extra loaf in case. Exciting! Love extreme weather (as long as I haven’t got to go out)

It's due to be wet and blustery on the south coast, nothing more. I've seen a lot worse forecasts!

We're on the edge of where it may hit. My work has already sent a message saying we may be closed but please to try to get in despite adverse conditions (hmm, ok, but there'll be no kids to teach!)
