Just watching BBC SE News - any problems with Brian are likely to be tomorrow rather than overnight.
PS: we are only 10-15 miles north of you, so hope they are right!

Something has already come loose on the roof and has been rolling back and forth in the past fifteen minutes.

Raining here (just North of Heathrow) when I woke up an hour ago - but now that's stopped, very little wind and the sun is shining :D

Oh dear. We're just about to set off for our autumn sojourn. That'll knock 5mpg battling against the wind.

I am actually at Heathrow terminal 2 atm.
Waiting for a flight out at two pm.
It's just a little breezy right now.
Fine flying weather...

Cloudy up here, no wind or rain as yet, rain's not due for another couple hours, so all's quiet on the northern front so far... :)

That's a bit early!
But it must be the same low-pressure we had earlier today here.
Although it didn't quite snow here...
I figure the temperature will rise later tonight, and most powder will be gone by tomorrow.
(according to the temp maps)
