Wind became alarming loud last night as the rain band took a firmer grip, but it didn't last long. Breezy out there now but nothing out of the ordinary for an ordinary November evening.

The winds have shifted into the SSW here - having been a straight south or even SSE'ly all day so far - and there's been a definite notch up in wind speeds. The nearby yacht club recorded 50 recently, for example, the previous high having been 43 all the way back at 9AM.

The models generally show a peak coming late tomorrow morning - with the winds finally dying down in the early hours of Monday.

I was running in this this morning. I will say this, in my entire life I have only regreted I think 3 runs. Regretting a run almost never happens because no matter how hard or awful there is a sense of achivement, endorphines and so on. Today was one of those days I actually regreted it. Horizontal sleet with icy freezing cold water getting me absolutely soaked. And I did learn today that if sleet pelts you hard enough it can actually hurt like hail. I also learned that it actually is possible to get colder on a run rather than warmer (and this did not happen when I ran at 5am a few days back and the thermometer read -9C). The thing that made this so perilous is that it was fine before the snow turned to sleet and the wet covering became slushy swamp land and I ended up in this crazy situation where I was worried about going hypothermic because I was so wet but couldn't even run back fast to the warmth because I was sliding all over the place.

I was in the yellow warning zone but was actually scared for one of the first times in bad weather.

Up to this point the rainfall here is nothing like it was modelled or forecast. Long way to go though

I see the latest 18z GFS run are showing slightly upgraded winds speed for my neck of the woods with a hair breath of 70 mph gusts during the course of tomorrow, but other models are showing lower figures. Today hadn't been that dramatic after a blowy start, in fact right now it's almost quite calm! 12.4 mm of rain has fallen today, which again isn't that exceptional.
