Very heavy here in Annamoe, very scary drive home this evening, thank God for ABS is all i'll say, some very big pools of water accross the roads here , car sailed more than anything else accross a few of them on the way home!

I can hear the rain pelting down outside the house on both sides of the house( from inside) , tis a bit wild (loving it!).

Oh wait untill it snows up there!

If you get snowed in,Paulo Tulio lives in Annamoe, so I'm sure he'll sort out Dinner for ye.

It's a €100 for a taxi from annamoe to Dublin airport by the way under the new "metered system" .I overheard that from Paulo as he was dining at a table 2ft away from me last week...

Anyhow
the totals up to 35.8mm here now and the rate is 3mm/hr

It's gone very windy gusting to near 30mph at ground level again.

Thanks Snowbie

There's a nice big green area outside my kitchen window here, gonna ask the landlord if they would mind me plonking a Vantage weather station there, nothing ventured nothing gained eh.

Snowbie

True longfield,interesting to see temperatures at a decent elevation compared to the rest of us.
Any idea how high your up?

Think its only about 230 metres or so, but am surrounded by much higher peaks that rise rather steeply close to me, Annamoe I suspect is a bit of a frost hollow.

Its consistently about 2c colder here than at work which is in Loughlinstown on the car thermometer so would imagine am just over the temperature borderline for a typical 2-3C at sea level sleety event in winter at sea level.

I'll post some piccys of the area in the coming weeks, its pretty nice imho if you are a bit of a nature lover.

Temp has been rising steadily from about 7:30, it's now back up to 7.4C, humidity is falling, which is sending the dewpoint down with it, dewpoint now down to 2.4C.
Edit: just noticed why the temp started to rise, a feckin sea breeeze has come up, or land breeze or something , because the wind direction has shifted to ESE and it was SW

Snowbie

Every 150 meters you go up,temp decrease by 1c.So your about 1.5c to 1.75c colder than at sea level for example.
