    Meenaroy isn't too bad, heard a lorry got stuck this morning but clear again now. Some slushy snow on the road but easily passable anyway

    Folks it's possible we are in for a biggie tomorrow Thursday. Could be a mega wind storm. Keep a eye on the below thread for updates. This could be a very dangerous one as it is due to peak around 3pm.

    Yep there's also a good chance of heavy snow Thursday evening into Friday, blizzard conditions on high ground but probably not too bad lower down

    Always love the 'snow on higher ground' line.

    How many people actually live on 'higher ground'? If there's snow on the hill's I don't care.

    Harps I assume you saw the latest charts with the wind literally off the scale. Batten down the hatches.

    Blizzards on higher ground but there's a chance of snow pretty much everywhere away from the coast tomorrow evening onwards

    roads in Finn Valley starting to get pretty slippery this evening, some secondary roads have black ice as I just discovered 10 minutes ago, so take it handy

    We had a bit of sleet/hail after 10 last night but that was all....well apart from the black ice.

    I can see snow up on the hills though and a couple of those hills aren't really very high.

    Sounds like old times indeed!

    After 22nd it can do what it likes as I am off the markets then for a while... But would like to be able to get out until Christmas.

    Stay safe and warm up there

    Well, where I live out Ardeskin, the street is like a bottle. It rained a bit, then started freezing, then more rain!

    I suspect it should thaw in the morning, but take care, being wary of black ice. The Gap area has its own climate!
