The wet and windy, with occasional snow, 2019/2020 thread
Discussion
Thanks to S100HP for the nudge - and it's true, there is snow on Cairngorm!
The title has never been more apt... During the day it's become clear that ex-Hurricane Lorenzo will reach a point west of Northern Ireland on Thursday night and then turn sharply and aim at the Midlands. This is caused by a high pressure block between Scandinavia and Greenland.
Charts show it will rapidly lose power as it heads east - but not sure on rainfall levels at this point.

Predicted track of Lorenzo shows it straight over the top of me. But forecast says bit of rain, little wind.
I would trust the man made images I posted over a computerised single-model forecast.It does look like it loses power rapidly as it turns east. I maintain rain may be far more of an issue than wind.
My boss will be trying to fly home from Dublin on Thursday night

IN. I had the adenoidal PH voice in my head as I left the house this morning:
"IT'S SIX DEGREES. WINTER TYRE TIME".
This year I've been foolish enough to buy some. Will I need them? Probably not.
[ 4 extra wheels ? where to store them in my wee flat ? ] we don't have 6 month winters
like Canada or Norway.
However, my knees are playing up, a sure fire indication we are in for a long, cold winter, so
reliable tyres might come in very handy
