I got very wet walking to work this morning (on Merrion Road). It has since stopped but its so misty i can barely make out the sea.
In work here, they put up a little slideshow when windows starts up. Theyre usually safety advice things like what to do in case of fire and what not.
The current slideshow is safe barbequing tips.
Clearly taking the piss.
No ones laughing.
Dying a little inside maybe.

That would appear to be from the radar ,the same blob that passed through here in it's developing phase from 830am to 10am.
It's passage through the wicklow mts gave it more ummph!
Suns out here now - not for long with these humidities and source winds I'd imagine.

Snowbie

Rain stopped. Lots of standing water around here.
17.3mm so far.
