Wind really picking up in driving rain at 1300. Whistling around my office
and rattling the window. 989 mb and 8 C.

Meanwhile the road into Aberfeldy from the North has cleared leaving behind
piles of hay and scoured footpaths.

The snowdrops have come out and I bet they wish they hadn't. Earlier I saw a
1.5 foot salmon scoot up my wee burn after leaping out the water, first one
I have ever seen there.

Glad to hear the flooding had subsided. I had an email yesterday from
Pubil saying that the sluice gates at Lubreoch dam were open, as well
as it overtopping. A nice sight to see, but not if you are further
downstream.

The wind is picking up here in Glasgow. It's starting to rattle the
office windows. I imagine we'll be in for an interesting night in
Prestwick tonight.

Maybe too interesting Douglas.
I'm glad I don't stay near the shore in Largs!
Or anywhere too close to the waves on the west coast for that matter!

From my OS map I worked out we are about 1/4 mile from the sea in a
straight line. Maybe too interesting indeed.

The Arran ferry is already cancelled, and the last one from Arran had
to dock at Gourock.
