    Any regular snow expected on high ground after the graupel?

    Thinking of Wicklow mountains in particular - did they or will they get graupel?

    Not your ornery onager

    As per usual, any percip worth its weight is going either north or south of me. Anyone in North Clare/South Galway? Looks like quite a deluge there.

    This is live view of my bird feeders in D16.
    all hanging by string so a good wind strength gauge.
    Im seeing a few floaty bits of precip so sleety!

    Oh, the audio is dublin airport op's / all marine channels also , so can get interesting at times.
    You will get all the coastguard weather alerts etc.

    Just an ordinary light breeze here (8 knot mean) Connemara clearly has a completely different climate to us!

    Good evening all. Long time no see. Nice to see so many familiar names still about 😊. It's cold but calm so far in my neck of the woods (Sligo).

    A couple of window flexers during the heavier rain, with any luck it will move the trampoline back to where it was before Doris.

    Gust of 74 km/h here near Tralee just now, big convective gusts and hail showers.

    Big gust just blew the roof of the chicken coop ... Managed to get it back on with a few rocks on top

    I do have 6 hens now who are in need of counseling

    The ARPEGE 18z rolling out. Showing not as windy as the earlier run perhaps for Galway in the early hours, but still quite windy IMO. Clare looks to be getting some strong wind for a couple of hours after midnight.

    That's terrible news, I remember driving in similar conditions one day and I literally had to pull the car in and stop blind whilst hoping for the best.
