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

[Netcurtainnelly]

Usually do the supermarket shop on Friday but been today incase conditions are bad tomorrow?
SNOW.

Anyone else changed plans in preparation?

You can still call the emergency services without a SIM card. They send the alerts via the towers using a generic network which taps into the phones modem etc.

Likewise. I'll do a standard grocery order for delivery on Saturday and accept it might arrive late.

If I was in an area that would be affected, I'd have put in a grocery order for this evening.

It wouldn't be a much larger order than usual, because it's just me at home.
With more family members to take into account, I can imagine that needing more planning.

Ah ok, thanks. Its weird I haven't had one.

I’m going nowhere this evening, it’s pretty gusty out there at the moment.

We are at risk here with trees coming down, it is what it is and just have to sit it out.

No, weather forecast just looks a bit rainy which isn't unusual for January. Keeping my Friday plans.

I am in north Yorks but forecast is rain!
would be great if people could put a rough location when commenting so I can be envious if you do have lots of snow!

I’m in Falmouth. To be fair, it’s not great here at the moment.

I'm going to buy all the loo roll I can find within a 10 mile radius then start some looting.

I'm with the coastguard so on standby here

Sold out in our Tesco Metro

High Winds here and driving rain, Ocado came this morning so no need to go anywhere and wouldn’t want to in this. I’m in Wilts

I think its because of the billion times we are told these things will happen and they don't. If the weather is bad absolutely don't go out unless absolutely necessary. And don't be that idiot playing by the sea. But I don't think its something you overly need to plan for

I have 48 rolls (we get them on subscription), I could be persuaded to do a deal maybe…. 😄

I have 658 rolls left from lockdown the bidding starts at £20 a sheet

Falmouth, Cornwall. Yet, you were the poster mocking the warnings! Red warning is pretty rare, so hopefully too many people won't mock it and take advice instead.

There are already wave watchers here taking risks and putting themselves in danger to get a picture.

how is it - my son says he got an alert on his phone. He may be taking it a bit more seriously. Im in touch with his friend who is down there too, who seems to have taken it on board.
Tonight is not the night to go out on a uni pub crawl

I don't know about Falmouth specifically but a lot of places, shops and pubs etc are just voluntarily closing and encouraging people to stay at home.

You could always feel free not to click on a thread that doesn't interest you? As my nan always said, "if you can't say anything nice, then you don't need to say anything at all".

I'm not sure if it's going to happen for us, weather forecasters can't seem to make up their minds. One minute it's snowing all night, next minute it'll be heavy rain and then back and forth between the two so I suppose it's wait and see.

A friend lives in Jersey and they have been advised to stay indoors until tomorrow morning.

I'm in an area forecast 15cm of snow, which will be the most we've had since 2010. I'm not too worried about that, but it's forecast 7 degrees by Sunday which is likely to mean localised flooding

In my area, no snow is expected: just gusty winds overnight and in the morning. I will WFH in the morning if possible, and just go out in the afternoon, as I have balance problems not improved by gusts, But I don;t think half a day reuires an advance shop, and THANK GOD NO SNOW EXPECTED! I realize that where I am (south east England) is less badly affected than some parts of the country.

I’m semi rural West Midlands in an amber warning area for snow. The first flakes starting falling about half an hour ago and it’s settling now. The weather app says it’s 2 degrees but feels like minus 7 and it’s forecast to snow all night. I did pop to the supermarket this morning to pick up an extra loaf of bread and a few bits so that we can hunker down for the next few days but I had a basket’s worth of food - hardly panic buying. I’ll be surprised if the DCs school is open tomorrow, thankfully both me and DH are working from home.
