Feels brutally cold, to be honest. 3°C in a 40mph, Arctic northerly after a mild autumn feels especially chilly.

Nearby Winter Hill has a dusting.

Whilst fairly benign here this certainly was a northerly gale with a bit of bite which we've not seen for some time. I remember even NWly gales producing squalls of sleet and snow even down here in decades long past.

I was out in the West End of Aberdeen today surveying the damage. Lots of trees down and flooding near the entrance to Johnston Gardens.


Although the wind speed was not as high as 2011 it seems the most widespread damage I've seen since the 1989 storm. Possibly due to wind direction as 2011 was westerly.

Not nearly as severe as was predicted. Couldn't even manage 70mph here and I can't see any 90-100mph gusts anywhere. Inverbervie had 78mph.


Peak windspeed was 68mph at Dyce which is the second highest gust in the 21st Century after 75mph in Dec 2011 but to put that into context every single year between 1965 and 1976 recorded a gust of at least 68mph and the average yearly peak gust was in fact 71 mph between 1952 and 1989 compared to just 60mph for the 21st Century to date 


It was just a nasty unpleasant spell of repulsive weather that, like everything we get nowadays, couldn't match the severity of what we used to get in the past

Nothing remarkable elsewhere and I've personally observed stronger fair weather breezes in high Summer than from this. The (small) bit of lightning yesterday evening was nice though.

I dont think yesterday was really about the strength of the wind. Usually when we have a storm, it peaks in the space of 90 mins and is over quickly with a few mega gusts... usually trees can deal with the odd gust.

Last night event was maybe less severe but lasted much longer... lasting here at its peak about 5 hrs. And has been very windy for say 12.

This means the typical casualties today were trees who just couldnt deal with the longevity of the battering. Roof tile issues have been in the minority.


 


I dont think i can remember a storm which downed as many trees as ive seen around here.

Plenty of tree damage as well. It was a long night of scary noises for sure. It was interesting watching the radar and appearing to poor down for an hour, but the ground was virtually damp, must have all been blown away!!

One odd thing that was notable here when daylight came were sycamore seeds everywhere. Never seen so many. It was as if the tree had waited to shed the lot in one go.

Agree with you and Russ. It just went on and on. A number of fences down around here (including a neighbour's) and the odd tree/large branch. Loads of smaller branches.


I cleared about 80% of the leaves in my garden a couple of weeks ago, and almost as many had fallen since; before yesterday, half the lawn was carpeted again. I chuckled this morning when I saw an entirely clear lawn with two heaps of leaves in two of the garden's corners. Very considerate!

Was very wind for a time this morning and a few fence panels have fallen in our garden. How my camera stayed on the roof, I'll never know. It's amazing what a bit of BluTac can do!

Seems like power outages are a problem locally in Cheshire's rural villages and there was a set of rural traffic lights out today whilst driving. With a south facing home, it meant the garden was sheltered from the wind but the front of the house was being battered.

An interesting storm and one we were probably well overdue.

The biggest continuous 'roar' I've heard since Feb 2014 here. Was a wild night with trees felled around the area, fences blown down, roof tiles smashed on the pavements and bits of mortar fallen from houses. Also a sign had been uprooted on a roundabout in town. 


Power went out briefly about 3am.


No idea what peak gusts were but I'd imagine 65-70mph to cause some of the damage seen.

Places like Huntly and Torphins have no water as a result of the storm, and many many other places around the NE are still without electricity. Barely a mention in the media though. 

The number of trees and power lines down is remarkable.

Driving through the Peak forest last night and they are still without power. No mobile signal either as the local phone mast has exhausted its backup battery I presume.

Hope they are ok as it was bitterly cold their last night. A very notable storm for sure.

I see lots of outages still in the ne in particular, so a fair few are going to be into 3 or 4 days without power and some sse ops will be getting towards similar without a decent break or sleep.


For here, it is one of the most prolonged storms I've felt in many years, as others have said, the 4 or 5hr duration of peak winds was a significant characteristic.


Hundreds of trees down around here and plenty issues with powerlines, which I'm sure will take weeks to fully repair.


Oh and a wee bit snow to top it off.

I think COVID news is masking the fact that thousands in several different regions are without power for a 3rd night in a cold spell! Imagine if that was happening in London!

Additionally some people are without water.
