One of the weather girls stated “nice weather for when you’re out dogging” then realised what she had said & said ” err walking the dog” looking rather embarrassed
EDIT just Googled it, it was Carol Kirkwood, there is a Utube clip of it.

I'm sure that was Michael Fish, back in the 80's.

Wind, they said.......rain, they said.....
This has happened a short while ago - 3" in the last hour
, thank God the wind hasn't yet come with it
Still falling, although it looks on the wet side so hopefully won't lie too long.

You believed a forecast?
Oddly enough the BBC hour-by-hour one is surprisingly accurate, at least in this neck of the woods. They didn't see this coming though
Oh well, I suppose it IS Winter.

We're off to Aviemore tomorrow for a long weekend away, and this is the forecast according to yr.no app (we both find it very accurate) for Friday...
Hopefully we'll get better quality snow than the wetter west coast!

Nope! I've never tried, aside from a shot at a dry slope 25yrs ago... I always had it down as a posh kid's thing but I did grow up in SW Englandshire rather than Scotland. Wife and her family always did it, but then she is posh!
It was her 50th yesterday, Valentine's Day, etc., so just getting away from the jobs we both increasingly dislike for a few days. Just getting away from it all with the dogs; walking, catching up on reading the paper, reading, just relaxing. Her Dad helped develop the osprey stuff at Loch Garten back in the 70's and 80's and they had a wee holiday house in Newtonmore so ventured up there regularly from Edinburgh. We're both very fond of the area.

Well Dudley’s definitely doing it’s thing on the west coast, thought it might be an adventure for my son to go for a walk along the golf course with the dog.
I can confirm that a 55 mph hail shower is not much fun after all, luckily we got to a bothy to hide behind as it passed through.
Im hoping that the shingle tiles stay on my workshop roof, actually I’m hoping I still have a roof in the morning.

Getting pretty windy here all the way down on the East coast - BBC weather says 50mph and I can believe it, hopefully they will revise Friday's forecast as it currently shows gusts of 80mph, in which case I'm in trouble!
Must be pretty rough all the way up there in haggis land.

It's been really windy here in Cornwall today. And this is only the first course. They have bumped the weather warning up and said here on the north coast we could get 90mph gusts on Friday...
This was today up on my roof.
