We haven;t had it as bad as some but I still didn't dare go outside last night or this morning. Thank goodness my OH was willing to go out and fetch Pom in for milking last night and again to feed them both this morning.

we have that speed of wind regular in the caingorms the old telegraph poles will snap at that speed the last storm we had the parked cars moved very slowly , so the sheds pens barns have to be right or they blow away .

Good luck one and all. Oddly, for once, quiet and calm up here!

That's scary but I suppose you get used to it. I remember a holiday on Orkney and the wind blew constantly. It was just the speed of it that varied. Great for drying washing as I soon discovered.
