Shocking day here. Thunder and lighting on and off all day intertwined with hail showers that would cut you. Freezing at the moment.

RobertKK

Had some snow earlier today, cold and worse to come by the looks of things.

Same here, don't want to go anywhere but have to to docs with herself for a checkup s no choice

Raining like f all morning as bad a wind as any other day so far. The sister came into Rosslare on the 6.00 ferry this morning. She was in Waterford before 7.30 so they can't have been delayed much. Everything got fed this morning but it wasn't pretty, more of a case of ye'll take what yer given than worrying about what weight of what went into feeder.

Atmospheric Pressure tonight at 7.30. I've never seen it as low. Big winds on the way.:(

Pressure is in inches mercury, which is equivalent to 950 milibar. Agrees with what Met Eireann are saying too (956 milibar)

Conmaicne Mara

Yep, according to MT Craniums area description we'll be right in the firing line here. Just a pity it's happening at night, I would like to have gotten some photos in the daylight of the waves, maybe in the morning.

Conmaicne Mara

I believe the storm has arrived here, wind has certainly risen.

Sharpshooter82

Rain here but nothing too serious from what I believe is happening in other parts of the country, winds ain't too bad either so far but I think it's the middle of the night it's all supposed to start

Conmaicne Mara

If anything the wind has eased here from earlier on.

False hope or the eye of the storm maybe

Marooned75

Wind has really picked up in last half hour never seen barometer as low here

Mac Taylor

Fairly rough here at the moment. Not looking too hot either until late afternoon. Lucky enough no major travelling here, wouldn't fancy being on the roads tomorrow. Take it easy tomorrow.

awaywithyou

Some storm outside now.....

moy83

Wind and showers of rain all night here

Sharpshooter82

The last storm was over hyped on here, would take the usual precautions with roofs and loose material but other than that I'd wait and see.
