    YOU DID WHAT! lol..

    Woke here a while ago to a bitter northerly screaming its intention to blow the house down... NAH! But it may postpone the ferry..

    So much depends on the direction; as an old lady up north used to say ,the "airt" of the wind. Up there easterly was the bad one. Here it is northeasterly, due today

    Bitter cold. When I opened the door all five cats streamed in like a furry tide... Before even putting water on to heat I opened 2 tins of catfood…

    We are helpless to stop the weather.... Banshee howling now ….. shivers!

    Out in Greystones. The wind howling a fair bit and a bit of rain. I thought it was sleet for a moment because it was being swirling around in the winds. Many layers of clothes needed with that mix of wind and rain. :o

    A bit of slush on the bottom of the car windscreens this morning is all I have seen near Roundwood. It was still too dark when I left to see the mountains.

    It feels more like winter than autumn this November. it is easy to forgive Docarch.

    Please check out my varied content on YouTube.com/@jpmarn. That’s includes some weather.

    Just spoke to a forecaster in ME.
    To continue cold for the next week with more snow for Carlow/laois

    It's a high pressure area in Glasnevin :D

    OK that is IT! I am hibernating!

    Just fought a dramatic incoming storm to get my shopping and coal in from the drive. Watching the sheer … power of the battling clouds in the distance, rainbows , sheeting rain as I took boxes in... JUST got the last one in before the real tempest hit. I kept looking towards it to see if I was going to beat it

    And now; hard hard rain and hail on the roof and sudden gusts.

    Life is never ever dull out here. That was a magnificent display!

    But another week of this ….OH MY !

    Mod Note: Please keep pictures to an acceptable size . If you are using pics from phones remember that these can be very large, eg 4160 by 3120 and too large for the forum, a typical weather chart from Meteociel would be 768 by 768 and the excellent shot by sppokwoman above is 500 by 333.

    It is important to resize pics before posting them , this can be done on sites like Imgur.

    Thanks
