Lots of trees down, debris on the roads. I drive a rural school bus route and the morning run was carried out during the height of the storm. All the children had been brought to the pick up points in their parents 4WDs and I got them in to school on time despite the bus being buffetted by the high winds. I arrived home from the school run to discover that this was one of the few schools in the area which was open today, and there was now a stage four red police warning in force not to travel, and I was concerned whether the kids would get back home. Around lunchtime the winds subsided and the police warning was downgraded to a stage three amber travel with care, so I was able to complete the afternoon school run. The wind has died down now and we are getting a few light snow showers, frost is forecast overnight but it seems the storm has moved south into the north and east of England. All's well here in town though many of the outlying farms are still without power.
