Welded a gate on saturday. Never did much welding before... Tonight will test it

Fairly windy but not alot of rain with it thank **** , hopefully it won't get much wetter or it will be a couple of weeks after when ground will be fit for slurry . We have another 3 weeks left before we will be in trouble but it could've been spread a few weeks ago in grand conditions

There was a Tweet about slurry earlier on, I was wondering would it be brown snow or brown rain they wanted given the weather.

It's a joke. Five weather warnings for a bit of snow and rain. Bit of wind now and the emergency crisis board are meeting. Its bloody winter. Will there be an address to the nation if we get sun this summer?

wont be a joke if someone gets killed ont he road by a falling tree, or debris, or floods. Its not a joke atall infact

There is a good chance we will get strong winds a few times a year, especially January. Now the fact the emergency council is sitting to discuss this now is a joke. What are they going to do about dangerous trees now? That should have been taken care off in the summer and that's when they should be sitting to plan for things like this.

Hopefully no one will get hurt though!

Ya thats true , but can people not uses the senses they were born with to realise these dangers instead of having to listen to coloured alerts. Soon people will be checking their iPhone to see what the weather is like outside rather than actually going out for a look

I've sheep to feed but any of the other work I've on the now very, very long "to do" list doesn't look like it'll be done tomorrow for weather and lack of money or materials issues. So I'm sleeping in, on a week day

Base price · 14-01-2015 10:52PM

Weather got rough here at about 8pm, sounded like someone was outside the house with a powerhose randomly spraying the windows - methinks Whelan

No rain now, the wind has died down a bit and it has got milder.
Saw a shooting star a few mins ago when I went to feed the dogs

Dead right

Nekarsulm · 14-01-2015 10:52PM

Quite wild here in cavan about 7 pm, quieter now. All these Orange alerts, and Yellow alerts and Red alerts, feck sake, since we changed to Kilometers per hour the forecasters have the people drove mad with 100 kph gusts. That and the tabloid press looking for a "shocker" of a headline.
Have the chainsaw ready, just in case!

I was listening to Gerald Flemming Met office on the 6 o'clock news and he was saying that it was up to individual school principles to decide if schools were to close of not. He also said that the wind speeds would not be as extreme as last years Feb storms.

The only issue around the school here is there are a fair few very tall trees in the yard right by the school. Other than that I don't see the issue to be honest.

In fairness H&S has to be a priority.
