The wet and windy, with occasional snow, 2020/2021 thread
Discussion
Bit of an odd start - seems the Cairngorms have already had snow.
Storm Alex is nudging me to create the thread now - nasty tight storm which is centered around the Channel Islands.
Wet and windy weekend for all - copious rainfall expected.
Longer term, some high pressure could pop up - with a northerly wind. Frost-tastic.
I have a hunch this season will be cooler than usual.

Very timely arrival of the thread!
These last couple of days have been very suddenly cold and frosty feeling, with a rapid plunge in temperature, and as you say Scotland has snow, and several ski resorts in the Alps have already had pretty major snowfall.
All of this seems very early, and it left me thinking "This winter is going to be cold"

Ooo. Exciting new thread!

IN. After the utter washout of last winter I'll take anything this winter. Repeat of 2018 please.
The wind is moving in a strange way today. We normally get the rain hitting the back of the house, and today it's the front of the house. Bloody windy too!

Ooh yeah, that'll do it!Last day of Agency work meant walking in lashing rain through a soaked Watford Junction rail station, with added excitement of a tree on the line near Wembley thanks to Storm Alex (this one's named by the French apparently ) Due to be a washout all of Saturday before clearing by Sunday. Back home in North London with heavy rain...
