    kicked off here in a big way. the digital tv signal is flickering. The wind is howling around the house and the rain is belting off the window.

    It's very eerie the way it goes all quiet....then the rain/hail starts pelting the window again and the howl of that wind when it picks up.....

    Seems to go mad every now and then? (not me, the wind)

    Yesterday the boiler packed in, couldn't get a plumber, gambled on buying a new burner for 190 euro, fitted it myself, actually easy as it was only one pipe, and three wires, and one nut to fix it into place. Thankfully it worked, it was freezing here today.

    On some website they were saying its the storm of the century. It's not very impressive seeing as how this century only started 8years ago.

    We're feeling some effects of it in Galway.

    I'm getting images of the scene of Bruce Almighty when he uses the wind for his own gain!:D

    This storm was going to be the most entertaining thing to happen to the Irish since we got to the quarters in the world cup back in the nineties, but nothing, I've bloodly seen more wind come out of a persons buttocks, We don't ask for much, now I was promised to see a storm by Rte and I expect to see one!

    Indeed. I love listening to storms. Have the window open here so I can hear it all night and there's hardly a breeze (South Dublin). Very disappointed.

    I'm really excited... but so far I'm seeing nothing. Hearing a few gusts of wind every now and then but I'm pretty dissapointed overall.
    Come on stormy!
    Guarunteed when a brick blows through my window I won't be so mouthy.

    wouldnt the large amount of rain and cloud cover make it warmer rather than colder?

    clouds = no frost
    no frost = warmth
