I note there's a polar low being pulled into the system south of Iceland. A
colder flow than expected perhaps - and an increased likelyhood of snow
later if that's the case.

Quite noisy here now after a blustery afternoon. I hope our power
cables last out until after 'Holby City'. SW is the direction from
which we are most exposed so if the wind continues veering without
increasing in strength too quickly...but I think that's wishful
thinking.

Currently, temperature 6.0°C falling at 1.8°C/hr, wind gusting to
50mph, SW, increasing, maximum gust 52mph at 18:00, barometer 986.4mb
steady, rainfall since midnight 4.4mm.
