    A spring low tide should be way out. 100 metres from the shore. Wind is pushing water into the bay. River at the end of the beach adding to it. Could be nasty at 4 o clock when its back near high tide.

    Very interesting, never knew that! Thanks!

    Who gets to name the storm? I assumed it was just our name for it? Do the UK call it whatever name we pick?

    Ireland, UK and Netherlands agree on the names between them based on suggestions from the public

    impressive white horses in Dublin bay this morning, not much water coming over the wall in sandymount at high tide.

    Should we have a separate thread for the snow/ice warning? I know it’s nothing too severe but we have had threads for less now that met Éireann have given it credence.

    Wind chill is ferocious. And squalls so it will be calm then take off again.

    Just got a Whatapp from a friend flying into Gatwick on a flight that landed 20 minutes ago. He said it was terrifying and the guy is a regular flyer. Grown men and women in genuine fear as the plane made the approach to the runway. Seems to be brutal over there.
