    I'm on the east coast, and we havent had it too bad, and does seem to be calming down too. Next couple of days set to be very windy though.

    I live in mid wales and the wind has been quite bad here but doesn't seem to have caused any structural damage. Everything seems to have calmed down now thank goodness! Yesterday when I was walking my dog I had to walk in the other direction to the way I normally walk because the wind was really strong. It looks like we are in for some snow in the next few days.

    Just a warning on the dog walking, because of this nationwide vomiting disease. Be extra cautious x
    I'm in the east, and we appear to have got off very lightly in the storm. Still windy, but not like yesterday.

    We really have got off light in the east. The storms officially gone but still some strong gusts of wind out there. We didnt get much rain either. Feel sorry for anyone affected by this storm. Think weather set bad thru till Wednesday PM.

    Lots of flooding in my area, with the bridge being closed yesterday.

    I hope everyone is okay. :)

    Hi @Franstrahan. I hadn't heard about the dog vomiting disease. Thanks for the warning.

    Hi, @deb74. I started a thread in the coffee lounge if you check it out. 400+ dogs nationwide with it (4 have died, but all had underlying conditions). Particularly nasty vomiting 'bug'. They dont know what's causing it yet. If you Google dog vomiting disease it's all there. Stay safe x

    I,m up in the hills in Scotland central belt ....the snow has been on and off all day . Sometimes a blizzard due to high winds . There is some structural damage I believe , especially down in the border area.
    Please stay safe and only travel if you really need to .??

    The yellow warning for overnight snow has been lifted from here. We had a few flakes late this afternoon that settled for a while till it turned to rain. I'm not disappointed! Suspect most people north and west of here have had it far worse.
    Stay warm and safe everybody

    While we are still feeling and dealing with the aftermath of Storm Ciara, Storm Dennis is due this Saturday. Did we always get storms like this? The only one I can remember is the 1987 one, and think that mainly affected the south of England.

    If I remember right the 1987 storm hit NW London where we lived overnight. Day before we had travelled back from Plymouth where my grandma lived. My dad had been anxious to get home to watch the boxing on TV. Parents slept right thru the storm. I didnt! Cant remember anything quite like it before.

    Fortunately it's not been too bad where I am. A few bins blowing around, but that's about it. I hope no one is too badly affected and that Storm Dennis is kind to everybody when he comes.
