I want to wish all my visitors a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

WEATHER UPDATE

During Christmas day, hurricane force winds will sweep past the north of Scotland bringing severe conditions to exposed regions of the north. Another area of low pressure is developing in the Atlantic and will track up the western coasts from Tuesday evening and this looks to be just as windy as the current weather system. Please check the current weather warnings in the sidebar for more details for your area.

The severe storm that was previously expected for us has hit France hard, with nearly half a million without power and many people evacuated from flood prone areas due to the storm surge.

If you would like to report the snow in your location, the best way is via Twitter using the hashtag #uksnow in the message along with your postcode or geotagged location, the amount of snow falling out of 10 e.g. 5/10 and a description.

All of the twitter hashtags can be graphically displayed More >

END OF UPDATE

There is some very severe weather incoming for the British Isles this week, beginning with high violent storm force winds hitting the north and west during Tuesday More >
