Wow, just goes to show the differences across our relatively small island - I was looking for any sign of bulbs poking through the ground today and couldn't see any trace at all of anything here in Aberdeenshire.
We’ve got the first snowdrops now, more so in sheltered areas under bushes etc. Differences just in Aberdeenshire! rossub said:

Here comes the change... First storm in what is likely to be a succession is forecast Thurs night in to Friday... Personally I welcome the change from the dirge. The Jetstream is due to really ramp up towards it's maximum.
Presumably caused by that US extreme cold spell.It's a temperataure contrast which drives the jet stream. It's -30 in parts of the north, it's +20 down in Florida. That's a marked contrast.
-50° with wins chill is truly incredible. I’d like to step outside for 20 seconds to experience that, and then go back inside to thaw out. It reminds me of working in cold chain storage when the women we worked with had to have ovary protectors (at least that’s what I was told) for long times in the freezers.

Small world my family mostly live in lumpy phanon. Your not the dude with the old merc old 928 and the rotting clio williams on the driveway (amongst others) are you?Met Office wind warnings from midnight on Friday. The impact is rated as the highest level for West/North Wales and from M62 to M8 - ie if the storm occurs as currently modelled it will go red for a large area.
For rest of Scotland and much of England it's rated at the 2nd highest level - so could go amber for large parts.

I’d take “dirge” over this any day - no idea why anyone likes winter storms, they’re miserable and potentially harmful. I hate them.For rest of Scotland and much of England it's rated at the 2nd highest level - so could go amber for large parts.
