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.

Mortelaro · 09-11-2019 11:41pm

Max gust of 70kmh at my station in Arklow today
Now that felt cold

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

I'm below by a good bit!

pauldry · 10-11-2019 12:09am

57mm in Sligo about half our total.

A lot of sun this month after first 4 days of zero but also a lot of rain too.

pad199207 · 10-11-2019 12:54am

85mm so far for this week in Kildare

TTLF · 10-11-2019 1:27am

Where did this sudden heavy outburst of rain come from in Dublin tonight? Didn’t see it coming lol been raining for about 2 hours now

Graces7 · 10-11-2019 1:28am

The wind has eased off and the background noise of the tide crashing the rocks on the shore at the end of the field behind me is loud.

"Whatever next, " as an old friend used to say.

Storm 10 · 10-11-2019 2:25am

Never seen rain clinging to the East Coast like it has been for the last few days

Graces7 · 10-11-2019 9:37am

Bitterly bitterly cold. Merciless blue sky! met,ie says just above freezing, and a keen little breeze.

Sky has blue ambitions.

Been out for turf and certainly bracing

All seems much colder than this time last year; was still going for early walks then.

JanuarySnowstor · 10-11-2019 11:08am

There's a real chance of something wintry across the South and Southeast Wednesday evening and night. Uppers and thickness are just the right side of marginal. Primarily a high ground situation but one to watch....I was going to say it may catch a few unawares but I see fake media ia already warning of snow armageddon lol!!

Had 3 people tell me last night that "Met Éireann" are saying it'll snow next week. One fella pulled up his proof, an Irish mirror article. That was enough about that!

pad199207 · 10-11-2019 1:14pm

Beautiful sunshine with a low of -1c

iamwhoiam · 10-11-2019 1:21pm

Lovely day out on the pier in Dun Laoire . Sun is shining and rain is forgotten for now

SleetAndSnow · 10-11-2019 1:28pm

Getting cloudier as the day moves on in cork city, rain expected later. Chilly enough too.

JCX BXC · 10-11-2019 1:35pm

Overcast and 4.5c in West Clare. Very chilly afternoon

Graces7 · 10-11-2019 1:36pm

A dark and leaden sky here now; oppressive, as if anything could fall soon..bitterly cold still.

Hope all the old folk are keeping warm.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 10-11-2019 2:47pm

5 degrees but bright and calm. North East. Good walking weather. May light the fire soon, before the chill sets in.

Looks like a cool week ahead.

Storm 10 · 10-11-2019 3:10pm

According to the radar it should be lashing rain in Galway but it's not raining at all

Oscar Bravo · 10-11-2019 3:56pm

A dull dark cold day here in Castlebar. Stove lit

Same out here with the addition now of heavy hard rain.. west mayo offshore

Oneiric 3 · 10-11-2019 4:20pm

Barely touching 4 degrees here yet does not feel unpleasant out at all. Sky has that dark but nice pre-blizzard look about it.

Oscar Bravo · 10-11-2019 4:28pm

Just 2 degrees at Knock airport at the moment

The very peak got some snow cover last night after the really intense heavy rain over S. Dublin, maybe it was evaporate cooling?

Didn't get any from Kippure. But its White at the Top.

Wednesday Possible Ninja Snow Event.

Dublin Wicklow Mountains could get a Hammering from this low if it stalls like last weeks Lows.

appledrop · 10-11-2019 6:51pm

Well winter is well + truly here. In fairness it has been very mild so far up until this week. We are out in park every weekend + you would be wrapped up but never cold + I was starting to wonder why I had so many heavy wintery clothes in wardrobe+ I would do a clear out.

Ha ha well that's all changed this weekend. Freezing cold+ biting winds so now I know why I have them.

Hope it doesn't snow. I hate it + hassle of trying to get to work in treacherous conditions. Only like it if its blizzard conditions like 2 years ago + everywhere closed!

pad199207 · 10-11-2019 7:12pm

Moderate to Heavy Rain in Kildare now

Elmer Blooker · 10-11-2019 7:13pm

That Netweather radar is a joke! It should raining be in my parts for over an hour now - it hasn't arrived yet!
The Met E radar is accurate and the rain should arrive very soon.

Same here in Laois , heavy the eases off a bit .

Graces7 · 10-11-2019 7:18pm

Four of the cats are still out and there is no way in this gale I can get the door open even if they seek in. They will be snug enough in the shed or old cottage .. truly wild now

pad199207 · 10-11-2019 7:34pm

Bucketing down in Kildare now. Already 3mm in the gauge

Naggdefy · 10-11-2019 7:35pm

Bullseye over NI:D

Mortelaro · 10-11-2019 8:08pm

Raining with the past hour or so in Arklow
Total for the day 4mm

Sure is, I'm just after driving through and got caught out badly. Blizzard conditions with heavy driving snow and next to no visibility, a lot of snow on the road but just about passable, lucky we didn't get stuck.

Storm 10 · 10-11-2019 8:27pm

Lashing rain in Galway although you would not know looking at the radar very cold temp 7 degrees in strong wind

Pangea · 10-11-2019 8:29pm

Meenaroy just now

pouring rain again at Dunshaughlin, there really hasn't been many dry hours between Halloween and today, it's mostly being pouring with rain at some stage every day or night.

SleetAndSnow · 10-11-2019 8:42pm

Raining in cork city, some strong winds too with it.

appledrop · 10-11-2019 9:02pm

Surprise ,surprise the rain is back again in North County Dublin.

Is this what it's like to live in West of Ireland? I wouldn't last 5 mins.

So sick of it raining constantly since Halloween.

Ah well back to Netflix. Unbelievable is well worth a watch if anyone looking for a recommendation!

pad199207 · 10-11-2019 9:15pm

Has lashed down in Kildare this evening, another 10mm in the gauge
