was a really nice day today

blue5000

Snow on the windscreen this morning, day was dry, got a few loads of slurry out, then hail shower at 6pm ish.

pedigree 6

Snow shower along the mountain here at 6pm. Parts of it still white.
The ground here is awful wet still. Was spreading fert and only for the 4wd i'd be stuck. Then the cows mucked up half a paddock with four cows bulling.
Have enough silage in front of them for tonight and tomorrow as expect them to be in tomorrow.

And nice tomorrow up your area,you'll be glad to know?
'Twas a lovely day here aswell,but I see the N11 closed tonight due to a 5 car accident in snow near Bray
That weather system I spoke about yesterday is tracking a bit further south but will affect south Leinster,Munster and south Connaught ,my area getting some maybe but possibly very little or none as we're on the northern most end of it in Wicklow,
It looks like cork and Kerry could have 3 inches of rain in less than 24hrs from it,starting late tonight,that's monsoonal down there,it's not exactly wanted is it :eek:
The snow risk is now confined to the mountain tops,really above 2000 feet briefly but that's no consolation

I'd say we're far enough south to miss Monday nights rain, but don't worry this will do us

Driving wind and rain and tis feckin freezing.
Not a peep out of the cows this morning when field gate was closed and shed door open. Straight in. They're nearly afraid to look out. In now for the next 24 hrs and we'll see then

That doesn't give the real feel...it's a bit blustery and feels more like 12degrees.

There's a long term weather forecasting service here (notoriously inaccurate) and they are saying that May will be very dry with cool northerly winds for NW Europe, followed by very warm June. Damn, ye have more than earned it.

Just in its by far the worst day this year so far
Driving wind and sideways snow that would nearly go through you in blizzard conditions
All stock in and fed
Location on a hillside in Kerry around 700 feet above sea level.
It's still outside outer Mongolia it might as well be inside it for all the grass I'll have if things don't clear up soon.
Today is the date it's supposed to be magic day when grass supply surpassed demand .

jack o shea

Pissing rain since 7 with an easterly howling wind.you would call it a bad day in January.

Had to go down to Kerry yesterday (to a very sad funeral), was shocked to see snow on the grass margins coming into Rathmore. I was after leaving a lovely morning in STipp. In fairness it's real mans land down in Kerry

At this stage take any temps in double digits and rainfall in singles.
That May that you're predicting with cool northerly winds doesn't look too exciting for growth.

It should be all rain in west cork and kerryby now?
Dry here in Wicklow,it rained for an hour but next batch moves in from the east this evening or overnight and pours down all day tomorrow
Good news is the SW may avoid that one but whelan2 along with myself and most of leinster and conaught is in the firing line
There are no cows out up here and its the first time ever I've had them in day and night in April

(Edit quoted Dawg by mistake)

Absolutely beautiful day up here in North Donegal. Clear blue skies and sunshine.

If I had typed in the thread yesterday I would have been telling you about cold with a covering of snow.

First day cows out in about a week. Maybe we in Donegal are in for southern weather this year 😉

Been keeping a close eye on the rainfall radar on met eireann and by jaysus it certainly looks like ye have taken some beating from wind and rain today down in the cork /Kerry area .
