    Theyre better off finding a nice warm pub on Friday. The reeks in bad weather aren't a good idea.

    Safe decision probably although my comment was tongue in cheek.

    Oil running out here too n none of them available to deliver for at least a week. Was going to ask for 300 euro worth. Prob only get a litre.

    Dont need that windchill. My son was frozen last night so we put on heat for an hour. Will have to buy hot water bottles for weekend.

    Snow in West n Northwest but itl mostly avoid Sligo town. As always.

    80km/h gusts already here on the far SE coast.

    It's going to be a long couple of days with gusts getting stronger and no ease in sight until late Friday according to the latest charts.

    If it does snow tomorrow night i will be thinking of M.T. Whether you want snow or not, we can all agree that we greatly miss the input he would give us about this period of weather.

    Wild morning here on the Kerry coast, 5.6mm, rain sounding all the louder from the driving wind, 10.4C and weather station giving a real feel temp of 5.6C. Thankfully slept last night after the rough night before.

    Models all look about the same, some showing strong winds possible in the early hours of Fri for a time. Will see how much snow falls. Probably settling for a time on higher ground more so W, NW, N and fairly short lived lower down, would imagine there could be some heavy localised hail showers giving temporary difficult conditions.

    Surprised there isn't far more posts in here considering how bad last night was.

    Touching sustained 90km/h gusts in parts of the coastal W and 80km/h equivalents in the coastal E.

    It’s crazy how little the government care about flood warnings / flood protections. People who live on flood plains are left to fend for themselves, gutless government.

    For another thread but if we were to build a new town would our engineers recommend using flood plains?

    Yes, I know engineers were overruled by brown envelops in the past, but absenting local politics from a purely engineering point of view a lot of current towns would be condemned.

    That squall line passed through here (SW Laois) around 8.45 or so, wow there some downpour of driving rain from it. Looks like another round of really heavy rain currently over parts of Munster tracking north east.

    Several flights diverted incoming to Cork. They're off to Shannon.

    Wonder if Keir Starmers flight will get in later!
