Poll: Winter 2021/22 - Will we see lots of snow?

[CaptainRAVE]

What a landing.

Just caught the latest met office update.

Does indeed look like we didn't get the 80+ winds but they skirted round and only the 50-60 band hit here.

Makes sense. That's what it feels like.

Dying down now for sure.

Unusually we’ve ended up getting worse in London. Family in South Wales were saying it’s not been too bad.

122mph recorded on the Isle of Wight, crazy.

122mph gust in Isle of Wight!

If confirmed will be a record for England

 

[Things change I've changed]

Pretty much done down here in Newquay, some mild gusts, off out to have a posh breaky at Morrsions.

Wow.

That A380 looks like a tank haha

When I first saw pictures of an A380 I thought they were ridiculous. Then, as someone with no interest in civilian "buses" whatsoever, I saw an empty A380 display at Farnborough airshow. It was absolutely breath-taking to see this skyscraper of the skies thrown around like a toy. The power, the acceleration (unloaded), and ridiculous manoeuvrability once up made me see them in a totally new light.

There's a video of a ferry from Germany that gets a wave through the window.. not sure if it was Storm Dudley though. supposedly 112mph/180kmh winds.

 

[Yaayuh!]

A380 Pilot: "Nope!"

 

[CaptainRAVE]

That was dicey. They must be having a fit on that plane.

Do they attempt again or go somewhere else?

According to the weather forecast we should be getting 70mph winds right about now here in Warrington.

In reality it basically just rained heavily for a bit, and there's a mild breeze outside. Tree tops are only just moving around a bit.

Either the wind is going to go absolutely mental in the next hour, or the forecast was completely wrong.

I think they get 3 or 4 attempts, then they have to divert to somewhere else.

Earlier on there was a flight that had 4 attempts then went to Geneva..

It seemed to change rapidly due to the close proximity of the isobars. Calm, bit of wind and then gusts kick up.

He got one more attempt and has to divert 3 strikes so I have seen.

 

[bingham67]

I thought the same until within the space of 5 minutes our neighbours fencing and tree was wiped out.
