Miraculous weather here in north Longford.

Cold but some sun and nice fresh breeze with no rain yet here today.

Jesus it was some b#t#h of a day, the biggest problem is it was from the east, .alot of sheds around here are open to the east and this rain went right through them and ill be surprised if there isnt alot sick calves after it.

Met eireann forecast is brutal, yr is showing sign of improvement after mid week don't know how reliable they are tho.

CloughCasey1 · 11-04-2016 07:03AM

We have absolutely no shelter from this east rain. Brutal morning in North Galway.

thay guy on fb said there was a blocking high on the way for the last week, I am still waiting........wheatenbriar on here is normally on the ball. Dont know how they are saying what May will be like when April is only started

Milked out · 11-04-2016 08:07AM

Foggy calm morning. Rain stopped here at about 2am I think, showers after that. If it could stay dry today and tonight may try them out for a few hours 2moro. Agree with the lads the east wind is a fcuker

WheatenBriar · 11-04-2016 08:24AM

Weather models are only good on detail up to 4 days ahead max
Thankfully as the days get longer,each dry day does more work at undoing the rain damage,so we've that to help?
This week is indeed looking like it will deliver dryer days to do that job but with the caveat that showers will be about so if you get them,it's a step backwards again
Growth looks like it's going to be terrible slow for a while due to a harsh northeasterly and the general trend towards north themed weather sources being dominant
That doesn't mean the wind won't be from the south at times but it can be cold from there too if it's source is actually north as its circulating so it's southerly in your place but it's actually circulating round a high pressure or low pressure somewhere with the air source originally way up north

Now I may go back to work,made eggs benedict this morning,kitchen is full of smoke :eek:

Ye are getting a taste of what we had in cork yesterday, slowly brightening up down here so I'll let the cows out for a few hours.

LinF · 11-04-2016 09:23AM

Raining and the poor sheep in the fields all look so miserable! Cows are all inside though.

patsy_mccabe · 11-04-2016 10:08AM

Water grass?

Dickie10 · 11-04-2016 11:30AM

i jave the grand total of 2 cows and 2 calves out , they were born in mid february and have a dry 20 acres to roam across. everrything else hasnt seen grass at all yet. the sheep have a lot of the grass pared down now and no resonse fom fertilizer yet, thank god we have plenty of silage, there wont be any cattle out here til at least saturday or early next week. the store cattleare being held up from getting out so it will be hard to finsh off grass id say

Wasn't it just.

Stinging cold and wet rain, yard flooded, kinsale flooded, cows in a dismal mood.

And this morning it's glorious.
