    One more thing I'm organising in advance...a pair of portable chargers for my phone. I can then set up a WiFi hotspot for any other devices in the house at the time. I've ensured all laundry is done. Tied down the galvanised turfshed roof!


    Didn't snow follow Ophelia, the next day? Bit early now but this is very early for a proper storm too.

    Please read the thread. The main effects will be FRIDAY morning, not Thursday morning. And no, there won't be countrywide disruptions, if any.

    What annoyed me about that is that the storm was about 100km from the south east coast and Met E was telling people in Mayo and Donegal to stay in their homes??? Was just a very lazy blanket forecast.

    Just took the day off. Friend of mine in the know said this is going to be the biggest storm ever to hit Ireland. Many cows will fly off and his neighbor Dorothy is looking worried
