    Bright, dry morning here. A bit of a nip in the air but a very nice day.

    There was a lot of water here the last few days and a lot of pools of water in the fields.

    I went for a walk around the land this morning to get some fresh air in the lungs.

    Still can't get over how good the land and grass is for the time of year. Another time the grass would be yellow.

    The forecast is giving a 50/50 chance of colder weather for next week. While I like cold weather sometimes. This time of year your attention would be on preparing for turnout and getting wire and fences right before calving starts. So I hope it doesn't materialize.

    Powerful morning here. Woeful mild last night replaced by a frost around daybreak. Talk of a nice frost tonight.

    Was heading home from a family do at my Mam's house last night 1.30 and the roads were dodgy. The gritters must have been out before dawn as you could see the grit on the road when I left to head to Longford.
    Beautiful day here and it was bright until nearly 5pm. Looks like a frosty night with clear skies.

    Brace yourselves!
    Jan 1 to 3 will be bitter cold with a chance of snow in coastal counties then benign weather for the rest of the week

    The following weekend looks now increasingly even colder with more widespread wintry/snow showers

    As for January,a day or two ago,I summarised my thoughts HERE

    Since I posted that the usual indicators for very cold weather have got stronger not weaker
    There's a frightening amount of very bitter cold up to our north and east and with high pressure in the Atlantic,the risk of weather drifting in from the east or North is higher and if it comes,you'll know all about it
    So be prepared,if it happens
    Hopefully not!!

    FYP.:)

    Grass is still growing here and soil temperature has increased as well.
    Soil temp is 7c at Johnstown castle and 8.6c in belmullet, Co.Mayo.

    Looks like rain New Years Eve night/New Years morning and then a brief 2 day cold spell.
    This apocalyptic cold spell for January looks like being pushed back further into the future. But the weather is going to cool down from what it is here now but nothing serious yet (can change of course).

    Someone must be praying.:D

    The southern versions are utterly rip offs and a lot less stronger than the northern/UK own brands. I always stock up afew boxes of them, and other over the counter medicines when I'm in the UK.

    I do occasionally when I'm on the road otherwise I seldom listen to the radio or watch the TV. Sorta got to like him when he was with Ivan on the morning slot. However I become apocalyptic when I hear Hook. I like listening to Sarah Carey on Saturdays when I get the chance. Other than that its RTE 1 (Morning Ireland & Drive Time), Moncrieff, Lyric FM, Spin, or CD's.

    Some change overnight...

    Was as mild last night, was out to the car in my t-shirt and you wouldn't feel the cold...

    Then lashing heavy rain for a while around midnight...

    And this morning, lovely blue skies but much colder and a wind that'd skin you...

    Well 2016 was a great year weather wise.:)
    It was drier and warmer than average.

    (For the annual summary. Go to the months and click on annual.)
    And check out the rainfall Longterm average %.
    Mace Head in galway only got 78% of normal annual rainfall.

    Don't forget last November was the brightest November in Ireland in many years.
    November is usually the darkest month of the year due to the sun being low on the horizon and the difficulty of the light getting through the moisture and cloud in the atmosphere. But this November that moisture and cloud was missing due to the high pressure systems over us and to the south west of us.
    So more light than a normal November.

    You could include December in this as well as mostly same conditions as November.

    But take this evening as an example you can see the long shadows from the high level cloud to the south west of Ireland.

    This was absent last November and December.

    Just a heads up,first proper polar outbreak is coming Thursday to Saturday
    Some especially in Ulster Connaught north Leinster including whelan2 and west Munster will have settled snow are you ready?
    Everywhere will have frost lasting all day Friday probably
    Today's farming forecast will hint at it

    Beyond that even deeper cold from the east about a week later is a low possibility stay tuned

    Yup,next 48hrs is as expected except now much of Munster is likely to see snow showers even on low ground from about noon tomorrow north into Laois possibly
    A spell of rain and sleet down there turning to wet snow on hills before that clears to the showers
    Ulster Connaught and north Leinster is likely to see showers all day tomorrow and into the evening mostly snow away from coasts
    It will readily settle there worst on high ground
    A sleety mix near coasts
    Likely to be a hard freeze Thursday night even in the wind and especially Friday night so lying snow will stay
    Sunday should see a big thaw
    That's the current thinking

    There is only a small risk of an easterly (ten times colder) towards next weekend at this stage
    Weather models aren't to be trusted at the moment that far out at the moment,there's very low confidence today amongst Met forecasters of a return of that more severe cold right now
