The Express are not known for their accurate weather predictions!
Hope everyone in the storms path remains safe.

oh exactly, we all know that silverfrost, however, they are following the models this time and explaining in language that people can understand. Most people cannot follow the weather models and updates which are quite scientific with very strange language

I have been out with saw and secateurs. I have been trimming some young apple trees, still in full leaf, that would not be safe but they are now

I'm currently in West Wales, it's blustery but nothing unusual. the red sky has gone and it's a bright day with a haze of clouds...

Trains are running on time..

DDs and sil put garden furniture inside the garage for me when they came for lunch yesterday which is a relief.

The sky was a beautiful bright blue yesterday and we ate lunch in the garden. Today the sky has been overcast and very grey. There is a weird look almost as if a storm was coming.

We have no sun here but the sky is yellow/orange and tinged with grey. I've never seen anything like it before. My house is in darkness and has been all day.

I'm somewhat preturbed!

I know it was just a typo but this made me smile - you're pre-worried

Very appropriate description of my current feeling - waiting for the storm to break.

Yes, very strange yellowish light and that's here in SE London which is supposed to be well off the track

BelfastMish

Looooong time lurker from Belfast - Ophelia is getting very lively over here, all schools in Northern Ireland shut, hospitals cancelled appointments, workplaces closed early - I was sent home at 12. Has never been anything like this in NI in my memory.

Winds getting quite scarey now and the eye of the storm isn't due in Belfast until 6. Whole house shaking right now!

Got my candles, torches at the ready and garden stuff is all taken inside.

Fingers crossed it's not as bad as the predictions....however kids loving the day off school :rotfl:

Apologies for butting in- love this thread but never brave enough to join in!:)
