    Just received a delivery from a garden supply company for an order placed a week ago. On Saturday. In this storm. Impressive, the local delivery services don't do this well. This was shipped by 'fastway.ie,' from the northwest to the Dingle peninsula.

    Storm no longer red.

    Is Galway and Clare ok?

    We are in for a severe evening in Sligo I'd imagine.

    120kph gusts and trees down and 2000 customers without power. That's my guess.

    It’s not really nationwide though with the worst predicted for Galway and Clare and it’s playing out that way.
    If the dubs were getting a hammering the place would be hopping

    Getting an earful off relatives for saying orange wind alert would be justified this time. It hasn't been, at least in the Midlands and south. They are simply saying they'll if ignore any warnings now as crying wolf from met Eireann and the naming of storms is also a joke. The whole warning system needs looking at.

    I am on the kildare Laois border and definitely some gusts over the last two hours have warranted an orange warning , a good number of trees down around kildare county.

    Considering this was the first storm this winter to hit us '' head on'' it hasn't faired out so bad. Definitely wasn't an orange level alert here in Carlow. Rain hasn't been heavy and I've seen worse winds when no warnings were in existence. I hope we never get an actual really bad storm as I think people are just paying less attention nowadays as the storms are never as bad as predicted.

    It's been bad here in West Roscommon. Apparently a good dust of snow in Longford. But fine is Westmeath. Some people will always moan about the warnings. Hard to get it spot on.

    We'll see, may get heavier for a while later? Definitely not ORANGE in SE so far anyway - I'd generally ignore the Yellow warnings as a waste of time. Basically to tell numpties to bring a raincoat. But would be more wary around their Orange standard, but seen far with stronger winds than this in SE and with little or no coloured warning. That's the issue with them - too blunt. Met Eireann should go back to synoptic charts and a description of same, letting people make up their own minds.

    Sryanbruen posted a comparison of past storms some weeks ago, using Max gusts as the benchmark, and clearly (apart from Darwin) recent storms are definitely weaker. The eighties and nineties had some ferocious storms, much worse than the ones we've had over the past decade or more, and that is borne out by the facts.

    Yes, steady wet snow here near Mountmellick for the past hour.

    Can't say the winds are the worst by any means, in terms of gusts or sustained winds, but combined with the driving rain/sleet/snow, and the intense cold of it, it would be a brutal day to be monitoring floodwater , flood defences or even just herding cattle or lambing.

    No doubt about it, a very tough day out, statistics be damned.

    Some fairly bad disruption at Dublin Airport. More the wind direction than strength, from 210-220 degrees so a significant crosswind component for all runways. Lots of go arounds and cancelled approaches. Gusting to 44kts.

    Currently light to moderate rain with some sleet. Radar seems to show nothing but more of the same behind that followed by just light rain later.

    Not a million miles away, but same in Cork City. There's the odd bit of blustery wind and an occasional mild gust, but so far, nothing dramatic.
