A screenshot from Apple Weather on this iPad right now.

No alt text because I cropped it: it simply reads:

Edinburgh

4 ℃ | Feels like -15 ℃

I think I'm staying home today.

@cstross A sound plan, especially as the implied wind speed is nigh-guaranteed to put precipitation right up one's nasal passages.

(Just out of a couple-three days of extreme cold warnings hereabouts; the text included the observation that it hasn't been this cold in several years, please take this seriously, and I kept wanting to go "yeah, yeah, I remember what cold is like" at the hypothetical meteorologist who wrote the warning. I imagine it hits very different when you DON'T remember.)

Toot

@graydon Luckily we're on the east side of the land mass and the incoming wind is from the west, so it's dropping a lot of the rain before it gets this far. However, we have slate roofs 10 metres up overlooking the pavement: hard hats are recommended!
