Really hoped we wouldnt need another thread so soon.
Tomorrow we have one dangerous storm with winds potentially 90mph off welsh coasts, 80mph inland and hitting Ireland very hard too.
met office warnings for heavy rain (exactly where we dont need it but also hitting western scotland), snow, perhaps even down to lower ground at times over night even pretty far south and storm force winds. Also widespread gales across England.
Then friday night into Saturday we have another potentially damaging low. The models have really struggled with this one and it needs a careful eye keeping on it.
Because the winds look so bad tomorrow for some (enough in the amber areas for me to suggest that you consider whether your journey is essential), I'll be logging on around 7:15am to update. My biggest concern is western Wales in the afternoon. However the track may change as the storm develops so the amber warning area may shift. It is possible that the met office may issue some red warnings close to the morning.
Looking further on, although storms may track to their more usual position (north of scotland) as the month goes on, unfortunately the rain looks set to continue, with little in the way of respite.

15 degrees in the shade and sunny all morning sofar
. Lake in the playing fields is much smaller but not completely disappeared yet. Still sticking to paved areas on dog walks as grass still too squelchy.

Beautiful this morning and saw a Camelia in bloom and the air smells of spring
We went for a walk this morning, started off nice but then very heavy rain - poor wet dog, he doesn't have a goretex coat. But daffodils in bloom, and I saw a camellia too - this is at the northern end of Lancashire. Lots of birdsong and ducks in fine feather.
We had friends in Yorkshire who loved to visit London and they said we were 2 weeks ahead of them with blooms. March is the usual time for Daffs and April for Tulips. Camelias vary .
This morning has been raining and the mud on the dog walks was just drying out yesterday
'Tis all very weird, those warnings. We're covered by the warning but on the 3 hourly breakdown the metoffice gives for our postcode, there's no forecast of snow. I think what we'll find is what usually happens and that's any white stuff will be over Peak District way (for our area) and all we'll see is some sleety stuff/the odd flake

Sunny down here on the south coast, near Brighton. Spring-like in fact
