Re: Severe storm on the way
Met Office Satellites have it just hitting Ireland at the moment. I think you've got a few more hours.

Re: Severe storm on the way
I was due to deliver a large canvas tomorrow morning to a client who lives right on the coast at St Annes on Sea. We both agree that it may be prudent not to be carrying a 5ft by 3.5ft canvas in a gale.
I guess I will be going to the coast a bit later in the week.
I hope everyone in the red alert areas gets through the storm, high tides and errrr the snow OK. Take care everyone.

Re: Severe storm on the way
I'm bracing myself for a strong breeze and a few showers, on the basis of the weather reports. Had they forecast a strong breeze and a few showers, I'd be outside now - building an ark.

Re: Severe storm on the way

surely carring a nice large piece of canvas in a gale will help him get there faster? 
no doubt if london is hit by gales the news will report it as 'gales batter the whole of the uk!!!!' as they like to do
