we have about an inch of wet snow.

80 mph winds in wales in usual coastal exposed places and 80mph in west Ireland

Highest i have seen is 94 mph in Capel Curig in Wales but they are used to wild weather

It's annoying that the BBC don't show wind speeds on their maps, just arrows.

I was trying to find out how strong the wind would be here, earlier. Apparently lighter winds here.

what is more annoying is how weather like this is routinely reported


"winds of 80 mph to batter britain, 80 mph winds have brought down trees and blocked roads bla bla bla

when the reality is they mean that coastal unihhabited areas have recorded 80mph gusts, 2 trees came down and 2 roads have been blocked


For every other person in the UK the winds are around 40-50mph in gusts

http://www.xcweather.co.uk/ is a good way to monitor actual observed wind speeds

Something else that irritates me about TV weather forecasts is how they don't show pressure levels anymore.

I've been to Denmark once, it was a while ago though and just a short visit. I really loved it. And I got a book about Hygge for Christmas and I'm totally taken with it.

I worked with a few Danish people years ago when I lived in London and they were the strangest, nicest and most amusing people I ever met, I've always wanted to go since then just to see if they're all like that
