Nice morning, middle of the day was crap, pretty wet. Looks to be shaping up to be a decent evening though.

Was a nice evening for a walk round to assess the results of the rain...
One field beside the road full of rubbish, came out of an under road culvert which rarely carries any water, must be 2-3 years since it ran out.. bloody mess:mad:

Out after a fox last night, I was forced home with the hail and sleet. My Dad is 77 years of age and said this morning he's never seen the ground here so wet. Rain? Does it do anything else :mad:

The next Full Moon is on the 24th Dec, so that will bring the next high tide.

Looks like there could be 2 serious storms next week(Tuesday and Thursday) - Good idea to check stuff like sheet-iron roofs,secure loose items around the yard etc.

Batton Down the hatches if you're in the south

THURSDAY and FRIDAY ... The major storm we discussed yesterday is now more likely to track across the south and this will at least reduce the likely impact of strong winds, forcing them more towards Cornwall and the Channel as well as parts of southern England and northern France ... however, parts of south and southeast Ireland could be clipped by these very strong winds even on this new track, and the track could shift back north, so the alert is simply downgraded _for now_ ... stay tuned, but I now see the probability of a severe storm in Ireland closer to 30% with 50% confidence in a moderate event and 20% reserved for a minor event of some kind.

We're on our third belt of snow in the last few hours here in Lovely Laois, the dirty wet stuff that doesn't stay, but makes everything cold, wet, and miserable.

Looks like a paperwork day
