North America sending us storms again... gee, thanks!

[link to www.bbc.co.uk]

Inevitably, your polar vortex displacement is causing the UK to be battered - so far it's only the north of Britain that's been severely hit (although the whistling through my house last night as well), but there are bound to be more depressions if it carries on.

Just a heads-up to UK weather-watchers, really: keep your eyes on the severe cold in the US, and you'll have advance warning of most of the winter storms in the UK.

Stay warm and upright, folks, whichever side of the pond you are!
