    Looks like a very wet day on the cards for the NE as the front stalls and pivots.

    Same here near Tralee heavy rain overnight and got quite windy gusting to 63 km/h

    Big showers going through his morning, last one with hail in it. Some bright sky at times but loads of showery looking clouds steaming in off the sea.

    AWS says 8mm but i think it might be more than that, must check the gauge for leaves!

    8.1C atm

    Just been out to get turf in. It is stacked against the north ocean facing gable end of the old cottage.

    The wind has ice on its breath and takes the breath from us. The ocean is a mass of whipped up white struggling might.

    A glorious beauty and power. But not the weather to be outside.

    Thanks for reminding me of this..just googled Frank Kelly's 12 days of Christmas and had a listen. Hadn't heard it in years. Cheered me up on a cold wet day in West Limerick. Mind you, in between showers there's blue skies and sunshine.

    You're welcome Grace, I always enjoy your posts and command of language. Fair play to you living so remote. A forum like this is a nice connection for you. My 86 year old mam lives alone in hilly country,often snowed in so I have an idea how things get tougher by the year.

    Thanks and yes to all you say. We get so much more weather out here than anywhere else....

    I am fine; I have good supply lines now and good folk here. The first winter I was here I had no ESB and I think they thought I would quit. Heard one neighbour tell another, " We realised that this one isn't soft but a but tough!" Best compliment I ever had..

    Give my wishes to your mam!

    Meanwhile that last heavy shower was hail here... Some very ominous clouds scudding in now. No good with tech stuff but observation and experience..

    No problem Grace. Sometimes us younger folk (I'm 43) lose sight of the fact that weather that mightn't unduly stress us at a younger age is a different kettle of fish as you get older. I know on occassion I might get a bit dismissive and brusque, without really thinking. So apologies for any time I've done so.

    I just see my mam, sometimes without heat on when I head home, and the heat leaves her body so much more quickly than 20 years ago.

    Weather today in Laois is windy and raw. Plenty of showers. Back home yesterday it maxed around 3.5C so certainly a feel of early winter. Reminds me of November 1996.

    Well its official winter today in North County Dublin brrrrrrrrr.

    A wind that would cut you in two all day, freezing + lashing rain from afternoon onwards. Miserable.

    Thankfully it's a cosy Saturday night at home.

    Some interesting rainfall stats for this month:

    Dublin Airport has had 59.3mm of rain up to yesterday so far this month, 17.6mm than all of October.

    Also wetter than January and February this year combined, more than two times the rainfall in January and about double February's rainfall.

    This figure is also higher than May and July's rainfall.

    Similar story with Phoenix Park and Casement.

    The Dublin stations are at or above the totals for last year already.
