First met office warnings for the month are
www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings#?date=2020-02-03 for Scotland. Gusts up to 80mph (perhaps more in isolated spots) for many.

In general it looks like it could be quite a stormy month with a lot of potential showing from the 9th onwards. Might be worth looking at your fences in the south before then Wink

The Queensferry crossing is a bloody joke. That bridge cost a fortune and has done nothing to ease the congestion on either side. Now its closed because snow is dropping off it

Absolutely freezing here in Cheshire and so windy, apart from one very heavy short hail shower it's dry though. Other than that, it's almost worse than yesterday!

userxx · 10/02/2020 22:14

@TokyoSushi Very windy isn't it! The sky went a weird pinky colour earlier just before the hail storm.

Some snow flurries when I was in Milton Keynes earlier this evening.

Rowgtfc72 · 11/02/2020 04:10

Very, very windy on the east coast this morning. Bet it doesn't blow me and my bike to work!

Igneococcus · 11/02/2020 08:28

I think the wind might be worse here today than it was on Sunday. My West facing office window has blown open twice.

MotherOfLittlePeople · 11/02/2020 08:36

Snowing here at the minute but very lightly.

Youngatheart00 · 11/02/2020 11:19

Strong gusts of wind in North London this morning! 🌪

colouringinpro · 11/02/2020 11:45

Rubbish am supposed to be driving down to Somerset Sat night. Leave early or leave late?!

JacquesHammer · 11/02/2020 11:49

Just checked the MetOffice.

Really not looking good here for the weekend. There's literally nowhere for more water to go Sad

BobbinThreadbare123 · 11/02/2020 11:52

Here in Cumbria it is sunny but boy is it windy! Almost lifting me off my feet!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 11/02/2020 12:07

I've started a new thread for storm dennis

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/weather/3820092-Storm-Dennis-thread-forecasts-and-reports

In the mean time there's a whole load of warnings including an amber for snow.

Today's run was errm... challenging in the wind. Hmm

OMG Storm Dennis, we must be gluttons for punishment. I'd better toddle on over to that thread then!

Have been "grounded" for the past 2 days - couldn't get into work yesterday or today, as the Old Severn Bridge is completely shut in both directions to all vehicles not just high sided ones, which is quite unusual. Better to be at home and safe. Sometimes my home bound journey in bad conditions can be horrendous so I'm relieved not to be doing it!

Wind was howling all through last night, now a lot calmer...

dustibooks · 11/02/2020 14:09

Dennis the Menace?

Crabonastick · 11/02/2020 14:15

IM HOME!

dementedma · 11/02/2020 17:17

Snowing again in Central scotland and bloody freezing. Sick of this

ScouseQueen · 11/02/2020 19:55

No snow here but it's now very, very cold and the wind is strong again. Glad to be in for the night!

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 11/02/2020 19:58

Anyone been flying from Scotland to London in this? I’m booked onto a flight tomorrow and genuinely peeing my pants. I am a total pro when it comes to flying as well.

dementedma · 11/02/2020 21:03

My boss flew to London from Scotland today and all was fine

BiddyPop · 12/02/2020 09:12

I came back from Brussels to Dublin last night - no worries and just slightly slower than usual because of headwinds.

Beautiful brisk sunshine, hardly any wind, clear skies and 3 degrees this morning. Snow on hills just outside the city but nothing on streets.

colouringinpro · 12/02/2020 19:04

colouringinpro · 13/02/2020 10:24

OhYouBadBadKitten · 13/02/2020 11:25
