You have probably heard that the latest of the named storms is upon us – and this one goes by the name of Doris.
Some people are still struggling to get over that.
Just me that thinks 'Doris' sounds like a funny name for a storm? It's like somebody's granny! #StormDoris pic.twitter.com/1xh781EyvS

But for some, the effects of her wrath – up to 90mph winds in Ireland and snow in the north-east of England and Scotland – are very real.Here’s some snowy scenes in Scotland from people stuck in traffic:

And some thoughts from the people who can’t face going outside just yet:
#StormDoris is actually scaring me a bit. Can hear the wind from my bed ??

I don't want to get up. It looks horrible outside. I might blow away. I might blow away. #stormdoris
