Hailstones-while I was in the middle of moving cows! Neither they or I was too impressed!! They hurt!!! And I had looked at the sky five mins before and decided to move them while the sky was clear ðŸ˜¡

Hailstones to day reminded me when I left school my father was sowing beet massy ferguson 135 with a bit of a cab I was in the comfort of a ford 7000 rotavating the hailstones came kept at it got twenty ton of beet per acre the following winter.

_Brian · 02-04-2019 9:59pm

We had more hail there about 8:30, just rain now.

keepalive213 · 03-04-2019 9:36am

6 degrees here with a north wind that would shave you.

There is a bit of a theory that snow or hail is able to trap the atmospheric nitrogen and possibly a few more elements (boron) in a solid form to the ground.
It seemingly doesn't work as well with rain as it vaporizes off the falling rain drop before it hits the ground.
The atmosphere is 78% nitrogen.

High bike · 03-04-2019 9:21pm

Showing 9% here this evening but felt more like 2 or 3 and a northwesterly wind that would cut u in 2,supposed to pick up after tomorrow

Neddyusa · 03-04-2019 9:55pm

F*$kn Baltic, icy rain with a bitter North wind.
Would have brought in ewes with small lambs for night if I'd seen forecast to be so bad.

MfMan · 04-04-2019 11:00am

First swallow spotted this morning. Any others?

_Brian · 04-04-2019 11:04am

Horrible morning.
4am trip to Dublin, two accidents on motorway from hail and sleet showers.

It’s clear now but bitterly cold.

Ah they're lovely, have 4/5 now on the one house. Very distinct call.

I says · 04-04-2019 2:13pm

Sun is out now but still cold with a north easterly blowing. We had a hail shower earlier will leave putting out the rest of the fert till the weekend.

Mortelaro · 04-04-2019 2:28pm

Cool but quite pleasant here atm, good breeze blowing but was out fencing and very mild compared to the forecasts.

Parishlad · 04-04-2019 4:22pm

Savage shower of hailstones just fell here. Was a lovely day up till then.

Horrid here,rain and hail showers and just 3c :eek: Hill tops are gone white
Some more of this tomorrow

Some signals in the models, indicating high pressure blocking the Atlantic
This often means an easterly wind could set up
That might not be too bad actually as the continent is getting milder and has been relatively mild
It could also mean northerly,NO THANKS

It's a bit far for my tractor to be pulling you out

Meanwhile on my note of mild easterlies,I've jinxed it
For fcuks sake,GFS models this evening, one week away,very Cold and wintry
That's up at 5000ft but it wouldn't be warm at sea level
Hopefully they are wrong

Very frosty morning here -3 this morning at 5.50

keepalive213 · 05-04-2019 9:26am

Cold and windy, the next person to blame riabhach days is goin on the list ðŸ˜¬ðŸ˜¬ðŸ˜¬

_Brian · 05-04-2019 11:45am

Cold start again here... Huge amount of cold rain yesterday evening and most of the night..

Reggie. · 05-04-2019 5:56pm

Let a few springing cows out to my calving paddock. Love calving cows outside.

Mortelaro · 05-04-2019 7:47pm

Wet evening here

Mac Taylor · 05-04-2019 8:02pm

We could do with rain

. The ground is bone dry funny enough north of us have had plenty of showers etc, it’s like we have a micro climate thanks to galway bay and the burren.

Took mine all back in, much too wet and cold here to have freshly born calves out half the night.

SuperTortoise · 06-04-2019 5:10pm

Cold start this morning up until 11am, turned out a lovely evening, even let out a few cows, 1st week in April and letting out cows... what is this madness!

CHOPS01 · 07-04-2019 10:35am

Glorious morning in SE Clare. Good for man and beast !

I says · 08-04-2019 9:42am

A dull misty day here

keepalive213 · 09-04-2019 10:27pm

Sunny and calm here all day, field's are dry enough to let out cattle 3 weeks earlier than usual.
No rain of any consequence promised for the next 7 days, drought 2019!

Lady Haywire · 09-04-2019 11:34pm

I'm loving this weather. Almost as much as these!!
Prob pay for it when trying to get silage though....:(

whelan2 · 11-04-2019 9:23pm

Very frosty here early this morning. Put out fertiliser on silage ground. Cows had grazed it in January and again in March. Last spring we never got to graze it at all. Still a bit wet in places. Going to roll some of it in next few days

_Brian · 12-04-2019 12:15pm

Dry and overcast here in Cavan.
7c but it feels cooler, or more likely I’m getting softer.

Joe Daly · 12-04-2019 9:20pm

Cold and dry reminds me of the time the sugar beet was sown this type of harsh weather didn't suit it, it would cut it out of the ground .

SuperTortoise · 12-04-2019 10:43pm

Good dry week here in the NW, turned cold this evening, had to put the full winter clobber on.
Bit of a mixed bag for the next week i think.

Buford T. Justice XIX · 13-04-2019 1:12pm

Bitter cold here atm, strong dry easterly wind that would skin you. Rain forecast for here tomorrow which should ease the cold and get a bit of growth started again.

+1 on that and growth has stopped here for the last 2 weeks the place is like I’d sheep in on it.

Same wind here this morning, was fairly cold at the sidelines at football this morning

_Brian · 13-04-2019 2:50pm

Cold and blustery all morning here.. Great drying on the ground..

Problem is every bloody door ya open is snatched outa your hand..

Buford T. Justice XIX · 13-04-2019 9:35pm

There's an Orange rainfall warning in place for Cork and Waterford tonight, folks, so be careful if you have to be driving tonight.

kk.man · 13-04-2019 10:45pm

I spread bag manure this morning and didn't realise that there was a Orange weather alert for rain. Still dry here but brezzy.

Must get the radio fixed in the tractor!

Not at all. Spread 4 bags 2 weeks ago and have it grazed bare since and going to blacken it with slurry on Monday and cut in June. Not in teagasc manual but most of those boys have no land or clue.

Serious rain overnight and it remains fairly windy tbh. Grass growth gone back. Brings to mind the story of the old Brindle Cow who boasted that nothing the month of March could do - would harm her. So March borrowed into part of April - redoubled her fury and killed and skinned the poor old cow.

It's not so much here in the midlands, only 3mm overnight, are you in the west.
Temperatures are supposed to be 19 degrees by friday here and then we'll be worrying about controlling grass

You'd want to be careful doing that too with such a high quantity of fert
We had s cow here a few years ago found dead
The vet did a post mortem and found she'd eaten a lump of fertiliser

Dry so far here in south Wicklow, but going by the radar only by the skin of our teeth
At just 6c,that wind would cut you up

davidk1394 · 14-04-2019 11:01am

Raining here all night. Strong gusts of wind. Hopefully it stays raining for the day. Need every bit of it

Gawddawggonnit · 14-04-2019 11:18am

Went to -4* last night. Huge risk of frost blast to wwheat and wbarley ears plus pod blast on wosr...

Old saying here that if it’s cold and dry today, we’re in for another 9mts of it! Lovely.

Waffletraktor · 14-04-2019 11:37am

Dry and mild weather late single early double digits no wind. Need 50+mm rain soon.
