[Closed] As it's stormaggedon in Scotland....

Would angry anything be suitable substitute?

Does this work??

Did someone just google 'Angry C' ? 🙄

Using my skill and judgement I predict this isn't going to go a expected.

Nope, never!! How rude!!!

usual Met Office overegging it as far as I can see. Sitting here at 600ft elevation south of Glasgow and it's a bit windy, but nowt out of the ordinary

Very disappointed. Thought this was going to be the day for west to east KOM bagging. Bloody Met Office.

Lochaber. Probably merits putting a jacket on.

Cold and windy in Scotland? Well I never.

Is this the wrath of Salmond?

It was a moist and breezy paper round here in Dunblane (son is 13 on Saturday, so no longer have to get up and pedal round with him, yay!). I've put the power kite in the car for lunchtime....

Maybe it'll pick up later....

Careful out there

Iain, did you use imperial to make it sound higher 😀

Down in Glasgow in the foothills of Mount EK it was a bit inclement, squally showers and a bit breezy. Nothing we don't see three or four times a year.

That's seal's not angry, he's surprised.

Surprised that you think he's angry.

Squally showers and gusts of wind around me ... big wow.

Mountains out of molehills come to mind.

Sea conditions are predicted to become phenomenal. And possibly also fizzy and ginger

Rolling news programmes and breakfast TV getting all apocalyptic on us again. Pretty pathetic really...

Disappointing lack of lying sniw here at over 720ft and what's falling is vertical rather than windblown. News from family in the Western Isles suggests it's all been a bit of a damp squid so far.

TEMPERATURES in the UK are going to fall sharply over the coming weeks because that is what happens at this time of year, it has been claimed.
Meteorologists believe that winter, a spell of short, cold days commonly defined as a season, will be more or less exactly what you would expect.

Squids are always a bit moist.

Hmm almost true here west of the city..

Ride to post office (downhill, less than five minutes)- lovely

Four parcels posted

Return trip (uphill, longer) pellets of hail, strong headwind- miserable!

From Facebook

"Weather bomb" ha.. Seen more dangerous bath bombs

Angry dragon anyone?

thunder, lightening, bit blowy,rain hail and sleet, oh and snow now.

The warning has gone up to 3

Dunno, I am just back from a pretty hairy drive along the M8/M9 to Falkirk and back, made worse by the shiteyness of the fleet car.

Heavy sleet, standing water, trucks weaving about all over the place. Not fun ! And even worse, when I got there, I was in Falkirk.

We're getting some decent waves here in Orkney. Here's a link to some footage taken by someone braver than me!

that's Yesnaby, which is a very high cliff

or near it somewhere

BinCon Three then Fasthaggis...

Pop over to Yesnaby and howl at the wind. If you can get the car door open that is. #orcadianlife

That's the photo I wanted to post but my internet skills failed me, good work bigjim!

We often ride along those cliffs. Not today!

thunder, lightning, horizontal sleet now, superb 🙂

Park with your car door out of the wind. #orcadiancommonsense

🙂

A few Orcadians on here?

Yesnaby was always my go to spot to check out a storm in Orkney. The cliffs there are huge.

thunder, lightning, horizontal sleet now, superb

Yep... that just arrived here. The pub beckons 😀

Rode some of the paths when I lived there but never linked much together in Orkney, surprisingly few trails around. Used to go fishing in the quarry/geo just south from Yesnaby near the stack, wouldn't want to be near there today!

Telegrapgh had some photos, mostly of Ireland and Wales. Didn't look so bad, not yet anyway.

Wife just phoned to say she's stuck on the M77 at Flaok, ice and snow on the road. Luckily I've taken the car today and the autosocks are in the boot so I'll be taking the back roads home 🙂

Lived in Kirkwall for 5 years late 90s...worked at the 'drome. Good times...wild weather.
