Hurricane Bawbag- A load of Old Wind

[Jimmy]

Scotland experienced a weather phenomenon yesterday that caused chaos across the country, it was known as a 'weather bomb'.
The definition of a weather bomb is one of the most severe of all winter storms and is somtimes known as a extratropical cyclone, the cause is an extreme frontal depression deepening by at least 24 millibars in 24 hours- all Greek to me
On twitter it was christened Hurricane Bawbag- a load of old wind
Fortuntely no one in Scotland has been killed with the worst storm in over 25 years. The transport network shuddered to a halt across Scotland, railway services axed and flights cancelled, there was hardly a town or village in Scotland that escaped damage of some kind
Electricity supplies were cut of by the storm and even some hospitals lost their power with their own genrators failing.
Anyway we're ok now down in the central belt but the north of Scotland may still suffer today as the blizzards may continue there

We've been praying for you there - glad to hear that you've survived intact. Time for a shot of the water of life!

Well the storm passed through very quickly on Thursday when I was out and about as usual, a few branches broken off the trees and the warm winds from the south-west melted the snow rapidly which raised the river levels but hey its winter what else should we expect, and we awoke to a dusting of fresh snow this morning. Its very much business as usual here despite the media trying to make their usual drama of the Scottish weather, definitely a load of old wind on the part of the press and TV.

Fortunately the worse of it passed us by, although the road leading from us to 'civilization' has suffered some damage with the combined heavy rain and snow melt.
Funny to see #hurricanebawbag trending on twitter
