No sooner has Scotland cleared up from the storm just before Christmas than another one is hitting the UK.
Northern parts of England and Ireland are seeing winds already gusting well over 100mph, and news reports are coming in of structural damage and transport disruption. Even southern parts of the UK are experiencing gusts of 70mph around the English Channel, with ferry services expected to be disrupted.
Forecasts are for 8 inches (20 cm) of snow over Scotland and torrential rain for the southern parts of the UK with squally showers to follow.
Brace yourselves Scandinavia it's heading your way next.
More details will probably be published first on the BBC News website -
