Bad here now. Heavy showers and thunder and lightening very close. Some power lines down around the place. Herself was collecting from indoor soccer and had to make a 7 mile detour instead of a 2 mile trip.

I don't think anybody is really surprised by this weather tonight.
It was forecasted with extreme caution by Met Eireann after all.
I'm in the southeast and people changed their plans here because of the forecast.

Oooh, but then you have the idiots complaing about too many weather warnings and sure it's not that bad where I live etc.
Do they think the weather spreads evenly around the country like butter on toast?
Christ ther was one lad on the weather forum complaining about "the tought police" stopping them parking on the prom in Galway...... Duh, they are not stopping your thoughts, just trying to save themselves a job rescuing you...

Evelyn was on the news tonight warning about high seas and for people to stay away from the coast tomorrow.
Now you or me would say good advice Evelyn I'll do exactly that. But then there's another type of person hearing that and think I must go down to the coast tomorrow putting the emergency services in harms way.:rolleyes:

They haven't the interest to listen (or too lazy) to the News/read a paper. then blame someone else that they're not informed,........ I know all about that

No, this was the old dairy in the old parlour. It is/was handy for storing sheep stuff and for shearing.

Not so much for storing wool anymore:(

The new shed doesn't even move in the wind, thank god.

foxy farmer

Wind after rising unbelievably fast in last 10 mins. Here we go again.

Reggie.

Very windy this morning. All calm now but cold. Very frosty weather on the way it seems

Say my name

Dry today and dry tomorrow.
I'd say that'll be last of the dry for a good while now.
With the extreme cold in North America it's bound to start up a strong jet stream overhead.
See ye in March when it might stop raining.

Here's what i think is going to happen and there's signs of it in the forecast.

Cold in North America drives a jet stream.
Jet stream gets curved up by an Atlantic low or a weak high pressure in Europe into the arctic. That brings warmth from the Atlantic and displaces cold and curves that cold into Europe which strengthens high pressure in Europe. However the jet stream is still strong driven by the temperature difference between N.A. and the warm north Atlantic. So this jet stream races across the Atlantic but is blocked by this strengthening HP in Europe and is driven into the arctic. But between the two, Ireland will be stuck between the two forces and we'll have a southwesterly track of air over us with mild and wet with an occasional storm thrown in for fun.
Obviously the west and north of Ireland will get more rain than the rest of Ireland because they're worth it.

As my neighbour used to say long ago, you could be 2/3's right.
