Barney hates you
He hates me
Took my power
and broke my PC

My old desktop that I use won't start since Barney took the power when in use. Power back about 5 minutes.
It is 8 years old but still...

Winds are dying down.

Oak Park Carlow saw a gust of 125kmh between 4pm and 5pm which matches what the station recorded during Storm Darwin in February 2014, my station saw a top gust of 92.6kmh at 4:53pm which is below the 109km/h I recorded during Storm Darwin.

Speak Now

Avoided the worst of it in Waterford, didn't even get a gust over 45 knots.

Went out with my anemometer to the local park a few minutes ago. Gust: 27knots; Avg: 15knots. East Anglia (Inland). I am guessing peak in the next two to three hours here?

Max 56 knots Dublin airport now.

Kilcullen is as quiet as it never happened now.

Only the roof (well, part of it), and a lack of mobile signal reminds me of what has happened this evening.

Could be worse I guess...

Cycled home from Dun Laoghaire to Shankill between 4 and 4.30 via the top of Killiney Hill and Vico Road.
The sea was a mess.
Very happy to have gotten home before the worst of it.

Pretty calm (relatively speaking) in Dun Laoghaire now. Was as full on as I can remember for a while between 4pm and 7pm.

Along with a webcam for snow watching

Wind has picked up again here (East Anglia). Not going out again though as there are too many trees with large branches down. Local weather stations reporting gusts >45mph atm.

Footage from the headlines on Wales today on BBC 1 there show waves over topping a ferry presumably at Holyhead

Pretty sure there is a station up there, the data just isn't publicly available.
