Well that was some storm - or at least it's still going but tailing off. Just watching the news, and a trail of destruction throughout Ireland and Scotland and N England - 1000s of trees down, roofs blown off, falling masonry as chimneys collapse, whole sides of buildings taken out, lorries and cars blown over, power cuts, floods. It was another day of lockdown, and rightly so.
On a personal note, we had one fence panel down in our back garden, and a woodpile blown about. And now we have the prospect of snow and ice coming overnight. Happy Days!

No buses running in Edinburgh during the red alert phase, which is from 10am to 5pm.
Amber alert starts at 6 am. Very calm at the moment (12 midnight)
First time ever, one of those siren alerts to all mobile phones, with a message about the impending doom. I didn’t hear mine, as was in another room at the other end of the house when it went off, but others report having been terrified by its loudness!

Cold, well below freezing every night through Thursday, but it does warm to the 50s in the daytime starting Wednesday. The slight threat of precipitation has vanished from the forecast, an excellent development in a region where 1" of snow can bring the place to a standstill.

here in the Harbour City in the Land of Aus, we've had a cool spell. Howling winds dropping trees left, right & centre all day - 3pm I noticed d a City of Sydney SES (State Emergency service) truck rushing to Hyde Park to pull a tree off some folks who were sheltering, they (only) had minor injuries. pictures dunno why those idiots were outside on the ferry in high water

From days with nasty humidity last night was so cold (in comparison to Northern Hemisphere cold) that the light woollen shawl I occasionally use over my sheet in a normal Sydney summer (fan is on all night) was not enough. Last night I added my warmer wooly shawl - also not enough, so I threw it off & added a folded over medium woollen blanket. The wind howled all day & night

Today's forecast. 26C (= 78F) Cloudy. High chance of showers. Winds south to southeasterly 25 to 40 km/h decreasing to 20 to 30 km/h in the late evening. Large and powerful surf conditions are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as rock fishing, swimming and surfing.

As a rule, falling snow means not cold -- at least not by Canadian standards. I'd rather shovel than freeze.

The sun is shining brightly today in Perth County, Ontario, with a forecast high of minus 7 Celsius and a wind-chill warning explained by the tossing trees. A warming trend is supposed to begin tomorrow, accompanied (as usual) by snow every day for a week. We're having a normal lake-effect winter.

No snowstorm here, but that wind is something to deal with.
It is what is colloquially called a lazy wind:
it goes right through you because it is too lazy to work at going around you.
And is it ever cold!

Freezing rain this morning, making the roads hazardous (Sidewalks too).
But the temperature rises well above freezing today,
so the ice will melt.
Then, oh joy, we will have a few days of "mud season".

hmmm, if it's 27C at 11, what will it be mid afternoon?

Sydney forecast - Mostly sunny. Light winds becoming easterly 15 to 25 km/h in the early afternoon then becoming light in the evening.
Large and powerful surf conditions are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as rock fishing, swimming and surfing.

I'm sure the beaches are full & the (volunteer) lifesavers will be there, too, on many of them, but unfortunately not every beach.
