Sam 45 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Is it bad up in Aberdeen? Just seen Christy posting on FB that his Edinburgh-Aberdeen train was cancelled due to a shed hitting a train... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 It was sent back at Kirkcaldy.It's pretty windy up here but I haven't seen any sheds flying about. Sounds much worse across the central belt and Fife areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I fucking hate the term bawbag. Couldn't we have thought of something better instead of that weegie pish to name it after? Also, it's not a hurricane.Little bit windy at the harbour today but doesn't seem too bad. A90 is flooded at Portlethen apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 For some reason I'm also very irked by Hurricane Bawbag becoming the semi-official name for this. How on earth did it become more than a non-funny comment by some teenager on twitter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I think it's been picked up and carried by non-scots who haven't heard the word 'bawbag' a million times. It's a terrible name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 It's officially known, by stv, as #scotstorm.So let's call it that, #hashtag and all.It pretty loud, but our blinds are closed and I'm not brave enough to go outside in the cold.

The Milner Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 we have been told they have stopped any high sided vehicles from going any further south than Stonehaven for the time being so its messing up our deliveries quite a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Owl PhD Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 You can entertain yourself with the latest windspeeds here:http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/gr/aberdeen_dyce_latest_weather.htmlQuite blowy and forecast to get worse through the rest of the day. It's worse through the central belt though, and over 90mph in Tiree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 That's amazing.Down with Christmas!!It's hell out there, mind. The wind was lethal so the hailstones were going SIDEWAYS. Took a few of those to the eyes!I'm going to run home, and it won't look gay at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gladstone Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Sideways hailstones isn't that unusual up here surely!? I've had those cunts in the eyes a few times.I haven't been outside since taking my wheelie bin out and then running to my car this morning. It sounds pretty wild though. Looking forward to avoiding falling trees, flying cows and sheds and the like on the way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
