    Lots of big snow flakes mixed in with the rain now and tonnes of Denis hitting the windows.

    How much of a risk? Just brought my car down my driveway from the top of the road. Don't want to be stuck here again!

    My BBQ and Gas bottle just took flight.....it was secured with rope and plastic sheeting to shield it for the winter.

    I'm going out after it lads....wish me luck. :D

    Why did you tie Pascal Sheehy to your BBQ?......:D

    Just watched a pallet fly past the window (West Mayo)....I had a couple of concrete blocks on it....God knows where they went....:(

    The wind has ramped up in the past 40 minutes in Portlaoise. Howling and nasty.

    Possibly a stupid question, but no harm in asking -

    If Dublin gets as bad as people are saying, I presume I should not leave my workplace at my normal finish time? I have a fifteen minute walk along a main road, a fifteen minute bus journey and another 15 min walk along a busy main road to do to get home.

    Few weeks ago when the wind was bad, I was blown into the road.

    Should I just wait it out in work? Is there an estimate time as to when it'll calm down in Dublin? Want to make sure I get home safely!

    Still under-calling it. Connacht at Orange and look at Mace reports for 2 pm!!

    I've been a bit of a weather fanatic for years, and have to say the wind in south carlow for the past hour is as bad as I have ever experienced. Must be horrendous for people living on higher, more exposed ground.

    BBC NI weather said risk of snow especially in Western/Northern areas more so for higher ground but risk remains for lower areas as the night progresses
