The first named storm of the Winter swept in off the Atlantic yesterday and last night, there's snow across the North, chaos on the roads, disruption on the railways, heavy snow in Scotland, and reports of 100mph winds. 80,000 people are without power and two people have been killed, one in Cumbria and another in Antrim in Northern Ireland, in both cases by falling trees.
Terrible. My daughter visited me on Friday. I showed her the Red Warning, and she arranged to stay over until the storm passed. I was worried about her driving home that day. Peter
