So I turned the globe towards Blighty and the nearby Atlantic and... golly... that's a bit more than a strong north-easterly (above). For a start its a westerly but also the lines are red not green ... that can't be good.
Indeed the news streams are already pushing headlines like "weather bomb raises risk of severe gales" with another WEATHER BOMB story here.
Though I guess those in the NE of America would say that unless there's a metre of snow you can't really call it anything serious.
So what is a WEATHER BOMB? Well, according to the BBC here it is a fall of 24 mb or more in 24 hours, and they are predicting 18m waves, which does sound pretty impressive.

the weather bomb was all over the papers, shock horror strong winds and big waves in winter, oh and some snow in scotland
probably not nice if you live there but not entirely unexpected
Its been rather nice here in London, but then nothing the papers like better than a good weather shock horror story.
