They’ve upped our severe risk for tomorrow the wind is holding steady at around 15mph.(24 kph) with higher gusts. I was trying to spread straw outside but kept getting hit in the face so I gave up.

warm and windy today, rain and then ice and snow predicted for tomorrow. i don't have to be anyplace so that is ok with me. some shovelling would do me good for exercise. we'll see what happens. all topped up on propane for heat so even if the power goes out we'll be warm enough.

the rain has melted most of the snow, but with the ground still frozen not much of it is likely to have soaked in. the field across the road to the west of us looks like a lake, which is normal for this kind of event. the field to the south looks like it has drained pretty well. i'm sure The River Nile is flowing well.
snow is predicted for today and this evening and then warming and sunshine through the weekend so it will probably not stick for long.
pretty much with all the rain we got last night and this morning it should have been a foot or three of snow and not rain.
we did not get much ice, which is great as that can make such a mess of the trees.
the wind was a bit gusty last night and the power did flicker a few times. the new backup power supply clicks when the power flickers and it also keeps a count of how many times it gets switched on. i know, it's very exciting stuff...

It looks as though the UK is taking this storm seriously.

As it comes in, there will still be thousands in the north without electricity from the previous storm.
Sorta the Same Old/Same Old, here. Probably a sprinkle of rain or, maybe, a snow flurry if it comes early enough during the day. The full moon now is only a light above the clouds.

Eunice has arrived
I'm so grateful she allowed me too let my animal's out early this morning and they have all been fed.
I'm about to get my hot water bottle made because we could lose our electricity soon. The rain is here so we are wet as per usual this week . It's been really cold here so just trying to stay warm

@Marie2020 ,
I saw a news video from the UK of a large garbage bin being lifted up by powerful, swirling winds. It was lifted higher than the houses and was carried over one house, perhaps to be dumped in a backyard or carried even further.

I saw that video too! I didn’t see where it was though. I thought it had been picked up by a tornado or something. It looked like something off of Twister.

I thought that the Met video would show that scene but I was just entertained by the presenter's butterfly green shirt . The predicted wind speeds were staggering , however!
The article talks about an average of 30 tornadoes a year in the UK! And that, the service is in contact with the U.S. Weather Service on how to be better prepared for them.
LINK forecast a couple of days ago.

The second storm is arriving here soon. My garden is also quite messy now, one empty compost bin was sent to the border of another side. 
Schools here are off for two days, and the public transportation would remain chaotic for some time, I guess.

No tornadoes here last night. Several in neighboring counties though. The wind and rain were pretty impressive though. We got 3 inches last night and some of the gusts were around 50mph. No real damage from it though. Just a few limbs down.
