Truly horrible day in the mid west. Murky wet and cold

Horrible day here, morning wasn't too bad but good God it's gone downhill since.


Last Friday morning we had the worst thunder and lightening I've seen or heard. The youngest fella ran from his room like a scalded cat!!


It only lasted 10-15 minutes but it was like the house was shaking if that makes sense.
Every socket in the house lit up, thankfully the only damage was to the perimeter fence for the dog and the land line phone. A lot of houses had their internet etc knocked out and one TV blew off the wall.


I only heard of one animal being injured, a poor horse frightened out of its wits ran head first into a wall.


Power was out for about 5 hours,


All in all we were all very lucky.

Rained heavily here all day in Sligo.Was dosing ewes for Fluke as land is beyond describing as saturated:(

Just passed a lad with a haybob turning straw in a field. Longest dry spell we've seen around here since July.

That straw hardly worth much at this stage

Might be slightly better than no straw

A neighbour of mine had a shed damaged by the hurricane. Blamed it on not having straw baled and in to close off the southern side of shed. He had nearly 14 acres to bale. He's still optimistic on getting bales off it. Reckons it would be less hassle than trying to scatter the rows and trying to plough it down next spring.

50 hrs straight was the longest spell of dry weather since we had a thunder storm back in july. Mighty weather in May. First cut started in first week of May. Some lads had pits filled before July.

putting out lime on 20 acres tomorrow. should be fairly dry

Sunny morning here but around 1°C. Helping a fella clean out straw bedded sheds with the Davy brown. No back window or side door. Ooh lord the cold

Snowing. Hoping for a text that football is off

Ground just 70-80% white here now.

Seems to be freezing as it falls. Sticking to gates and everything it touches.

_Brian

1cm of snow out, was hoping for more but it looks marvellous

A sugar coating here in South Wicklow ,another shower a few minutes ago

Saturday night into Sunday is looking very snowy in parts of the midlands and north but not in my area where it’s going to be rain I’d imagine
It’s a weather front on an area of low pressure so where it stays as snow,there’ll be a lot of it

Ankle deep!

Floki

I presume everyone knows about the impending apocalypse with snowfall?

Looking at the British met office forecast on YouTube it seems it could affect the midlands and north.

It's cold but dry . I'm sitting in a hall waiting for the young lad to do his first grading in judo and the teeth are damn near clattering !

I don't think so. She was hatched in good enough time but a poor weak clutch it was, she was the only survivor and it took her a long time to start thriving.

Frosty overnight here, still snow lying around. Tomorrow's forecast looks like it could add to that. Whether it's snow or rain we're getting we could do without it!

Frosty, -2 or so, earlier in south Wicklow just outside Aughrim. I was out for my morning run and saw some hardy lads picking veg in farmland soon after 8am. Brussels sprouts or other Christmas fare perhaps. Fare play to them.
