The last time we had a forecast like this was, I think, in January of
this year.

I hate the wind.

Lesley was down south, visiting her children/grandchildren so I was
alone. I went to bed clutching a torch and with dentures firmly
attached and we had the quietest night for three weeks.

The insensitive may find this amusing but for me it was quite scary.

Nothing to write home about so far in Wishaw this evening.
Wind is barely F5, gusting into the low thirties and pressure sitting at
998mb.

Currently F4 here, occasional gusts to mid thirties. Highest average
wind speed so far 25mph with a high gust of 44mph. We do seem to be
fortunate in being well sheltered here, we've just come back from Elgin
and it was quite a hairy drive, there's tree debris all over the roads.

Pressured bottomed at 983mb and is now rising again.

I am with you
I nearly dislocated Tims thumbs during the night at the beginning of the
week - I was so tightly curled against the weather and I had managed to
collect his thumbs in my foetal position. I am told that as each new gust
hit I gripped harder !!! bless
January was not so bad in the depth of the night = it was worst at around 9
pm - when we lost our polytunnel

Mind you it seems to be easing a little bit now but its still rattling
around pretty well - its howling down the chimney

The map MCC has posted suggests that this is not going away in a hurry

This evening is very quiet here as well. It has been F5 since about
1400, pressure is steady at a tad over 1000mb.

This morning was another matter F8 from 0700, F9 for goodly chunks of
the morning, gusting to the mid 50's mph no trouble. Biggest gust was
62mph but that was the only one above 60.

B-) But I can appreciate it. When it starts to get blowy at night I
find a torch and put in my pocket. If the power goes here it goes
dark, very very dark. A torch lives on the bedside table as a matter
of course. I won't mention how much out 4' sq windows flex under the
pressure from F8/F9 winds, now that *does* worry me.

All quiet on the western front today - rain settled in for the duration I
would say.
We still have all our polytunnels which is remarkable considering their
state, and all the trees so far.
It got up again in the middle of the night for a while but not as bad as
Monday and a long way short of January

The subject should, of course, refer to November and not October.
