    Here today was a little windy, but nothing compared to last night.

    Depends where you are! Wide variation … Same as you here until a sudden loud squall a few minutes ago. Wait and see time..Quiet again now..

    I would suggest that in future the 'Level X Weather Warning' banner should go on the chat thread, then that would be where these type of comments will gravitate to. Anyone in the technical thread will already know all about the warning.

    I think that it didn't help that the existing chat thread became the technical one. It might of been better to start a new technical thread. Plus the last storm only had one combined thread.

    Also people think that such comments are observations.

    They are observations.

    If the thread needs to be refined, the term 'technical' needs to be properly defined.

    As long as people don’t understand simple terms such as “technical discussion “ this will continue .

    I don’t think the thread title says “observations “ take a look

    Thread titles should be very simple, leaving out the date and other stuff that takes up valuable space and dilutes the message.

    Storm Ciara TECHNICAL DISCUSSION ONLY

    Technical only threads will never work. Every page has a bit of banter. You're not robots, lads and ladies. You should be glad to hear that.

    Heavy squall around 10am in South Dublin this morning with a bit of hail added in.
    Blew a lot of crap down my side passage which blocked my drain, only noticed when the water started flowing into my utility room.
    6 inches of standing water in the side passage, 2+ in the garage.
    Not the start I wanted to my morning :-|

    Fingers crossed this snow comes (if it’s coming) before I get too far away tomorrow.

    We had 2 brief power outages earlier tonight in the Ballysimon and Ballyneety areas of Co. Limerick. The first one shortly after 8.30 Pm and the second one about 9.15Pm. Outages last no more than 10 minutes. There was some severe gusts at the time.

    What mode of transport?

    For flights, it's up to the pilot and the airports whether the flight can depart safely (plane and airfield have to be operational). Can't see weather impacting either right now.

    Also - these questions should be elsewhere. Technical discussions on this thread. Mods - feel free to move.

    As regards the Tech thread v the Chat thread:

    I understand it's a very tricky one to moderate, but I think Mods are cherry picking which posts to move to chat. Chatter isn't moved when it comes from the seasoned weather posters. I think that's wrong. If they really want a pure technical thread then let them have exactly that, just technical data. Move All other posts, not just the ones that annoy the amateur weather enthusiasts.
    The posters here are all weather enthusiasts, Graces7 is as deserving of that title as anyone else on this forum. She posts regularly, lyrically and graphically about weather conditions as she sees them. She should be held up as an elder and an elite of the weather forum rather than being relegated to a 'chat' thread.

    The boards weather experts are always welcomed to the chat thread. Unfortunately the reverse isn't true.
