millibars forecast over the Channels Islands overnight. Now that's what I call a low. Which forecast is that? Both the MetOffice and GFS models show 932mb near St Kilda/Rockall. |

Met office surface pressure forecast showed it passing us on its way north - unless I mis-read the animation Mail and newspapers got in a couple of hours late this morning and one flight from Exeter has managed to land. Everything else delayed until lunch-time at least. Oh, and ferries aren't sailing so the UK is completely cut off at the moment |

Everything else delayed until lunch-time at least. Oh, and ferries aren't sailing so the UK is completely cut off at the moment Not really. The North Sea ferries are sailing despite force 12 hurricane force shipping forecasts. The two heading from the Netherlands towards the North of England arrived roughly on time. The two heading in the other direction are still on the way. One is expected to arrive around 5 hours late and the other seven hours late. The ETA of the latter is about 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time for the return. A nice day out for those on a day return to Amsterdam. My dil and accompanying grandchild got in at 0930 at Exeter from Jersey. I imagine that's the return flight of the one from Exeter Derek is talking about. I woke at about 4am today and the wind had gone completely by contrast to what was here before which was simply hellish. We're among the lucky ones whose family is now together for Christmas. I hope any others delayed by weather are as lucky. We've had a few branches down and some glass damage to greenhouses but worst of all, one person fell through a commercial greenhouse roof while trying to repair a boiler chimney taken away by the storm. Visit to hospital ensued, stitches, head scan etc. and mercifully, no more serious damage to the person concerned. Blood pouring from two wounds that needed stitching, along with the accompanying fear and worry didn't make for a peaceful start to Christmas but frankly, the alternative is so awful and was so close to being real, that we're verging on relieved tonight! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |
