    Whats the betting that the video clip of the lorry being blown over on an exposed road in a gale in February in the west of Ireland will be played to death in the media as it will be the only storm related incident to show? Or a few branches on the ground?

    What are the chances of this passing Kildare fully by 7pm?

    West of Athlone, now frequent heavy squalls of sleet with temperatures 1.5C, pressure 970 and still falling.
    Well sheltered here so max wind gusts only 40kmh

    Back to the storm

    Starting to rain here in North Cork, very steady gusts. No scary gusts yet like the last 2 storms.

    What do you mean fully?

    The wind will be dying but it's not as if the storm is just going to stop either, it'll still be gusty.

    Don’t have time to go through the last few pages rite now but will be going back through the thread to issues cards and bans as what I’ve seen is totally unacceptable from grown adults .

    It’s seems the untimely passing of Caroline Flack is lost on some , be kind or say nothing at all

    Dark here in South Tipp, wind gusting away. Had some snow earlier but rain now. Hoping the power doesn't go

    A few vigorous gusts in mid-Clare, but nothing unusual to be honest. Regard it is as a standard winter storm, the red warning surely only applies to immediate vicinity of coast. Around midday, the local shops were clogged with people rushing to buy "emergency" provisions. Met Éireann need to doctor their warnings system to exclude county boundaries, accuracy as number one priority.

    Been fairly sustained here in North Galway but not as bad as some of the other storms we've had in recent months. We'll see what the tail of this one brings though.

    Seems to have blown itself out here. Still breezy but more quietly so.

    If I hadn't given my anemometer away to another poster here I could have popped down for a manual reading :)

    Up here just west of Ennis we are mostly ticking over in the 30-40mph mark and then hefty gusts in the 50-60mph range.
    Highest gust so far was 64mph and that was at 10am this morning strangely! Feels much windier now than before noon

    Just did my drive, as far as Liscannor now.
    This place is epic, cars shaking.
    Pebbles flying through the air.
    Up high along the cliffs of moher its car shakingly serious.
    Back to Doolin ypu couldn't walk into the wind.
    The swells huge from Black head down.
    There's a ship sheltering outside, its rocking.

    There was a sleet blizzard between Corofin and Ballyvaughan.

    I think it could be winding down soon.

    Your quote was probably not really intended to be in that post, did one of them quote you? I wouldn't take that as directed at you, just some accident of the multi-quote perhaps?

    Horrible day, in terms of cold and sleety snowy wet precipitation. Windy but nothing we haven't seen before. Not worth a yellow (wind) warning here in the Midlands TBH. The rain sleet and snow accumulation is of concern however on top of all the previous inundations.

    Have to say that it was no way as bad as I expected in Galway the worst was during a squall line passed around midday when the wind was gusting to around 70mph it's been just a normal strong gale since, I felt sorry for all the people working in shops waiting at bus stops after finishing early, there were no busses as they had all stopped and they were drenched with the rain.
