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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

@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.

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

Yes. I flew to Alicante this morning ☺️🤣

Same didn't have a clue

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!

Doing nothing. It’s a bit rainy and cold here, but no need for a drama.

I'm in north Hampshire, so it should be ok. The only thing I've done is make sure I've got lots of kindling and logs in from the garage, it's horrible to do in the cold, dark and wet regardless.

We're in the path of 30cm snow forecasted so I've got some extra food in just in case as I don't want to take my little fiesta out in the ice. I feel for those in Cornwall and in the path of the 100mph winds.

Do people watch news and weather either on TV, radio or online.

Really? BBC is scaremongering again with a ‘Danger to life!!!’ headline. Reality: only really affecting a small part of the country.

Does anyone remember when we weren’t conditioned to be permanently scared out of our wits?

There is a red weather warning for some areas which is danger to life, and yellow and amber warnings across a fair chunk of the rest of the country - I don't know why some people feel the need to be so dismissive when it's perfectly reasonable that if you live in those areas you may be needing to prepare!

It is freezing, snowing and storm hits here and France in 1/2 days.
Nothing as cold as Spain in winter.

Just got back from Pets at Home as my very elderly Jack Russell (he’ll be 17 in the Spring) needed some more jumpers, but that’s all. He's now rocking a nice chunky grey number.

Also just bog standard common sense and doesn’t require a thread on MN 😂

In cornwall, a red warning and 80 to 100mph winds... but atm is not even blustery...

Well clearly not everywhere! Just rain here.

There is danger to life for a lot of people, winds of 70-100mph are dangerous that isn't scaremongering. We're expected to hit 30cm of snow, people are at work and need to know so they can get home safely. If you're in an unaffected area then great for you but others are not.
