Stay safe dude.
There's appears to be a quite a lot of power outages in Scotland right now, according to Power Track. If you live in Scotland, I hope you charged your phones, torches and power banks.

This popped up in my YT recommendations but last time I checked the setup this year still has the 78/79 winter as closest analogue:

This weather is prevailing from the East so we are fine on the NW coast, for a change.
Probably sounds about right. Not a great deal of rain just now but it's steady. The winds fair gusting though so it'll be an interesting walk to work. I'll probably have to take a detour cos I know I pass a flooding spot and I'll be crossing a road that usually gets loads of field water run off so it turns into a river. Doesn't help that the drains get choked with leaves as well though.

Farson Digital Watercams - Hi-def webcam on River North Esk, at Edzell
Hi-def webcam at Edzell offering up to the second live imagery on River North Esk. With regular river reports from the area, and an extensive archive of images from the past days, months and even years, this is the greatest way to view the beauty of Edzell and see how fishing conditions develop.
Webcam albeit the broadband a been down for 3hrs showing one of the local rivers significantly higher than it usually is

How anyone can like winter in the UK I have no idea.
I get people don't like 30c.. (even though I still think you're crazy!
. )
But this? This is our Autumn/Winter now.
It doesn't really get cold much. Gone is the cold crisp dry mornings we used to get. This damp, cold, dingy weather is the norm.
November December and January are my least favourite months of the year.

Never in a million years will this winter be like that. Just doesn’t happen anymoreThis popped up in my YT recommendations but last time I checked the setup this year still has the 78/79 winter as closest analogue:

The older I get the more I hate the cold. But a brief spell of snow to go play in with the kids is great. Also light snow at Christmas is magical... *cough* so the kids tell me 
I know this is cheesy, but the reason we love the summer sun soo much is because we do have awful weather a lot of the time. If it was non stop sun, we'd be bored of it.

Unlikely to be like that, but so far following a similar pattern, so potentially could see it turn out to be one of the colder winters in recent history if it continues a similar pattern.
