whats the weather like in your area?

Looking at the weather forum just now they're talking about another damaging storm possibility on the 26th/27th.

Seems to be a bit of uncertainty yet over what's going to happen tomorrow evening/Tuesday morning.

That wind this morning would blow the horns off a bull and was bitter cold to match

freedominacup · 22-12-2013 03:27PM

Skinning cold here this morning, though I'm a bit of a southern pansy, most of ye would probably just call it fresh. I had 10 or a dozen slates blown off during the week and one of the neighbours who used to do a good bit of roofing came around to sort it for me. Two hours up in the man box on the loader freezing his ass off and I had a job to persuade him to take a few quid for doing the job. He'd be described in some places as a blow in, it's a pity the wind isn't a bit more active blowing lads like him in. A real grafter and well stuck into local organisations.

That was my fear, losing slates off the roof

Conmaicne Mara · 22-12-2013 05:40PM

5 degrees on the car just before dark, colder now I'd say, lots of hail, not as windy as the last few days but it's still blowing.

biddy2013 · 22-12-2013 06:25PM

ABlur · 22-12-2013 06:30PM

Will walk farm in morning check for any downed trees at least all stock in.

Mac Taylor · 22-12-2013 08:27PM

Shocking day here. Thunder and lighting on and off all day intertwined with hail showers that would cut you. Freezing at the moment.

RobertKK · 22-12-2013 08:43PM

Had some snow earlier today, cold and worse to come by the looks of things.

q85dw7osi4lebg · 22-12-2013 08:55PM

Same here, don't want to go anywhere but have to to docs with herself for a checkup s no choice

freedominacup · 23-12-2013 11:27AM

Raining like f all morning as bad a wind as any other day so far. The sister came into Rosslare on the 6.00 ferry this morning. She was in Waterford before 7.30 so they can't have been delayed much. Everything got fed this morning but it wasn't pretty, more of a case of ye'll take what yer given than worrying about what weight of what went into feeder.

Marooned75 · 23-12-2013 01:28PM

Windy with the odd shower here,mild with it

hugo29 · 23-12-2013 04:33PM

Feck all rain and just breezy here till hour ago, looks like wind is picking up now and could be a rough one,

onyerbikepat · 23-12-2013 07:48PM

Atmospheric Pressure tonight at 7.30. I've never seen it as low. Big winds on the way.:(

Pressure is in inches mercury, which is equivalent to 950 milibar. Agrees with what Met Eireann are saying too (956 milibar)

Conmaicne Mara · 23-12-2013 07:51PM

Yep, according to MT Craniums area description we'll be right in the firing line here. Just a pity it's happening at night, I would like to have gotten some photos in the daylight of the waves, maybe in the morning.

Conmaicne Mara · 23-12-2013 08:56PM

I believe the storm has arrived here, wind has certainly risen.

whats the weather like in your area?
