    if frozen food thaws out u cant re freeze.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,403 ✭✭✭Castlekeeper


    If you'd put it out in the yard last night and it would have been frozen solid this morning 😃

    It depends on what it is I suppose, meat would be the main one that you'd have to watch.

    Be a fair bad freezer that would defrost in a day if you don't open the lid



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,541 ✭✭✭Tileman


    I think Reggie freezer was out for 2 days.
    anyway he can make up his own mind. Ii was thinking more about a fridge freezer not a chest freezer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,110 ✭✭✭Dickie10


    great next 8 days of weather coming not a drop of rain

    The Christmas days are promised breezy but dry, a welcome change if only temporary.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,369 ✭✭✭davidk1394


    -4 on the dash and a good breeze blowing that is making it feel a lot colder



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,955 ✭✭✭straight


    Snowmageddon followed by a hard freeze here. No power or water for 2.5 days. Only farmers on the roads. Children off school for a week and loving it. Myself or my parents/neighbours never saw snow like it. Alot of rooves collapsed and gutters torn off. Lucky it didn't hit the east coast or we would have all heard about it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,646 ✭✭✭MfMan


    Getting away really light here in N Galway. No snow, no very hard frosts, water not frozen, tractors starting etc. Hopefully the next 24 hours will see an end to it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭green daries

    Thankfully we only got a dusting of snow on Tuesday night. Temperature was -4.3 on Tues night and -5.2 last night and a water pipe to one of the sheds was frozen. We got it running outside where it comes up from underground to an outside drinker in the calf paddock so I just let the suckler cows out to it for a drink yesterday and again today. They can make their way back into the yard when they want. A run of the land leveller later on in the Spring should sort out the hoof poaching marks.

    Same here

    Full blanket of snow Sunday, lost power for one day, I know some people that are day 5 without power or water.

    Esb have offered a meal,phone charging points & ability to top up thermos flasks in the nearby hotels.

    Dunno how this works as the only way I can get to nearby village is by tractor.

    2 of us here doin runs to a town for pharmacy medications & food deliveries

    Had to get a loading shovel to clear a by road for an ambulance 3 days ago, elderly man fell & on the floor overnight

    Generally it's fine as long as we have power.

    30cm of snow everywhere with the top inch now frozen solid



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,541 ✭✭✭Tileman


    stil frozen solid here.
    kids off school all week. Water frozen in shed for cattle.
    had to relent and start feeding sheep nuts in the field. They looked ok and had access to hay and energy buckets but didn’t want them going back.
    gabe them bales of silage today as well.
    at least I got to move a group of bales out of a field without a mark being left in the field.
    Deinately the worst spell here since 2011 the year of the big freeze.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 470 ✭✭RockOrBog


    3 nights of frost here but thawing during the day, it's not too bad if the hose pipe still works. Fire down and feet up



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,965 ✭✭✭50HX


    Bright blue skies, 13c

    IIt's Like a day in early April

    Mad stuff



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,953 ✭✭✭Bleating Lamb


    In comparison to the relatively extreme snow and ice conditions suffered by people in the South-East recently,we escaped heavy snow in the NW but the side roads in particular were like ice skating rinks for 3 or 4 days.

    Was great to get a rare spell of dry windy weather last week as it meant land got a chance to soak out after the melting snow had left it sodden.

    Looking like heavy rain coming from Thursday on so enjoy the next few dry days all🙂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,441 ✭✭✭zetecescort


    Strong winds due at the end of the week too

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,579 ✭✭✭✭patsy_mccabe


    According to Windy.com 150 km/hr winds to hit Loop Head, West Clare at 5am Friday. Lovely.

    Winds above 117 km/hr are classified as Hurricanes on the Beaufort Scale.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 465 ✭✭Danny healy ray


    should we start to evaluate back from the coast in land like hurricane in florida

    we alway pull trailers across the open end of sheds here to break the blast. Or in alleyways where the wind channels.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 465 ✭✭Danny healy ray


    there is a crowd in America that have there own jet for chasing hurricanes and the after matt for there you channel there in shannon this evening I hear I think we're all fecked here



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,581 ✭✭✭✭Say my name


    There's been a near record transatlantic speed set by a commercial airliner crossing the Atlantic. In the next few hours they are guessing the record could be broken.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 354 ✭✭The Rabbi


    All the planes heading to America from Europe are going north of Scotland and turning west averaging 450 kts.The ones coming east are doing 580 kts



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,017 ✭✭✭Odelay


    Anyone notice stock or wildlife doing anything unusual in advance of this storm? Sea gulls heading inland, ducks flying backwards or dogs building shelters?😯 Haven't noticed anything unusual here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,828 ✭✭✭Jb1989


    The woman, was in good form earlier when I was talking to her, that's unusual...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 11,753 ✭✭✭✭Base price


    That gave me a good laugh which was badly needed and much appreciated after this feckin flu that I'm still struggling with.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 470 ✭✭RockOrBog


    I see lots of seagulls coming in off the ocean earlier, the cattle are acting out of sorts and gathering in corners. They definitely know something.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 11,753 ✭✭✭✭Base price


    A flock of whooper swans (15 or 16) passed over here yesterday midday heading North. I've seen them before over the years flying North so maybe they are heading home?

    With any storm approaching Ireland I always try to keep an eye on the buoy reports from the Marine Institute/Met Eireann. During storm Ophelia one of the buoy's off the South East (M5) recorded a wave height of 17.8m which was a record at the time.

    Hopefully our fishermen/women are back in port and any on the high seas have diverted to safer areas.
