Gonna be fun i reckon. May tie down the cattle in the shed

Conmaicne Mara

It's shocking out, driving rain, lots of wind, not awful cold but the rest is making up for it. We're paying now for the spell of fine settled weather earlier on.

It's here now. Blowing a bit since 12 but gone savage since 5 this evening. Rain coming in horizontal. Make you nostalgic for the grand soft evening we had on Tues.:eek:

There was a lull here for a short while earlier, but it's back blowing again, no rain just showers at the moment.

Fairly wet and windy here. Need a new water proof jacket.... Zip gone on the old one and its also no longer water proof! Forecast not looking good up to Christmas Eve.

Mondays forecast was downgraded a little earlier on. They could have upped it again since for all I know though.

unless it comes down a good bit it will still be nasty but any improvement is welcomed

I want the wind direction to change, so it can blow my IBC tank back to where it was at the start of the week.

look at the bright side at least the water flowing down your drains will make them at least 6 inches deeper

Conmaicne Mara

Thunder now.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way with the stuff I'm digging through, too many fibrous roots to wash anything away but what I loosened already.

Marooned75

Lashing out now

grange mac

Serious lightening show along with torrential rain in skibbereen and of course the thunder.

Calm dry overhead and mild here

Yeah got the thunder up here in Arklow too.
Powers out since 7am.
Took some of the lads a half hour or so on nearby farms to get the Genny's going.

Jesus, 1/2 of wicklow must have been out, all of wicklow/rathnew and Brittas Bay gone also. I was in Dublin lastnight, drove back to wicklow this morning, some serious flooding in parts, got home at 8 for the power to come back afew mins later, so no messing with the gennys thankfully!

Sharpshooter82

No rain here this morning. A lot of standing water in fields tho. Think we might miss the worst of it today

freedominacup

We had to hold off starting for 30 minutes this morning unreal wind and rain plus plenty of thunder and lightening. Rain blowing back off the ground here at the mo' with hailstones thrown in.

Sharpshooter82

Spoke too soon getting lashed out of it now

Conmaicne Mara

Not so many showers here, not too bad of a day so far in comparison to what's gone and what's reportedly coming, windy yet. Mart was fairly deserted this morning.

I know, they are built well to be fair but at the same time you never know. I must re sheet one of the sheds soon.

moy83

Its rotten this morning , still dark and lashing rain and hailstones on and off

biddy2013

Sharpshooter82

Raining here this morning

Conmaicne Mara

Hailstones, showers, wind, and that's without me having stirred out yet.

Conmaicne Mara

Looking at the weather forum just now they're talking about another damaging storm possibility on the 26th/27th.

Seems to be a bit of uncertainty yet over what's going to happen tomorrow evening/Tuesday morning.

Sharpshooter82

That wind this morning would blow the horns off a bull and was bitter cold to match

freedominacup

Skinning cold here this morning, though I'm a bit of a southern pansy, most of ye would probably just call it fresh. I had 10 or a dozen slates blown off during the week and one of the neighbours who used to do a good bit of roofing came around to sort it for me. Two hours up in the man box on the loader freezing his ass off and I had a job to persuade him to take a few quid for doing the job. He'd be described in some places as a blow in, it's a pity the wind isn't a bit more active blowing lads like him in. A real grafter and well stuck into local organisations.

Conmaicne Mara

5 degrees on the car just before dark, colder now I'd say, lots of hail, not as windy as the last few days but it's still blowing.
