I remember it well. There is still a lot of evidence arround from last years
storm.

I see that North Rona at 1800 recorded max gust of 77 kts 976mb falling.

Here in Comrie 56:22:40N 3:59:42W it is starting to get quite windy after a
day of rain.


I've just come back from spending a few days in Comrie, I used to
know it well, my grandparents used to live there in the 70's/80's
and I have many fond memories of the place as a child.
What surprised me that when I arrived there on Saturday there
was evidence of what seemed to be a reasonable snowfall,
the snow area appeared to start quite abruptly just west of
Perth. I guess this must have been from before the New year so
there can't have been much of a thaw up there.
Weather on Sunday was much better than I thought it would be,
expecting grey and overcast but turned out fine and sunny, much
pleasant walking was to be had in the area around the Melville
monument!
