raining a bit here , nothing of biblical proportions....yet

Aye,the picture is lightish rain today,showery tomorrow,some wintry butSunday into Monday is the hellish day with that 2 or 3 inches of rain and sleet with snow on hills which will get a covering
The northern extent of it is unsure yet,the northeast might escape the worst but down south Leinster,Munster and Connaught is where the biblical rain sleet and snow will be
It's all thanks to what's called an omega block up near Greenland kinking the jet stream south of Ireland and fast tracking very cold air west of Greenland down to us
Meanwhile a low pressure and its fronts tries to push north towards us,meets the cold air and explodes into very heavy rain as the warm and cold colliding enhances rain
We are on the borders of the two air masses so the northern edge of this is going to engage with enough cold to bring the high ground snow
If this was January,a set up like this would bury us all in the white stuff but longer days and stronger sun at this time of the year will limit snow to height
All in all a very unpleasant spell awaits

Saw my first Swallows today, they paid a brief visit before doing a swift U-turn and headed back to North Africa

Had a Cow like that and put a pair of shackles on her. Had them on for 3 months and now she's flying. She had a habit of throwing one leg way too far forward. Weather is terrible in cork not looking forward to putting cows into reseed at start of 2nd rotation Monday.

was a really nice day today

blue5000

Snow on the windscreen this morning, day was dry, got a few loads of slurry out, then hail shower at 6pm ish.

pedigree 6

Snow shower along the mountain here at 6pm. Parts of it still white.
The ground here is awful wet still. Was spreading fert and only for the 4wd i'd be stuck. Then the cows mucked up half a paddock with four cows bulling.
Have enough silage in front of them for tonight and tomorrow as expect them to be in tomorrow.

And nice tomorrow up your area,you'll be glad to know?
'Twas a lovely day here aswell,but I see the N11 closed tonight due to a 5 car accident in snow near Bray
That weather system I spoke about yesterday is tracking a bit further south but will affect south Leinster,Munster and south Connaught ,my area getting some maybe but possibly very little or none as we're on the northern most end of it in Wicklow,
It looks like cork and Kerry could have 3 inches of rain in less than 24hrs from it,starting late tonight,that's monsoonal down there,it's not exactly wanted is it :eek:
The snow risk is now confined to the mountain tops,really above 2000 feet briefly but that's no consolation
