    I know we live in Ireland + I know it rains a lot but this is getting ridiculous!

    Basically it's been raining heavily since Halloween in North County Dublin.We also now have the dark evenings so its utterly crap.

    No wonder people in Ireland suffer with SAD.

    Dramatically breathtakingly lovely morning out here. It was just coming full light as I and my cats headed out for an early walk. The eastern sky a translucent rosy glow before the sun had cleared the mountains. In every direction a ring of light surrounding banked clouds amidships.

    Bitterly cold … sharp, sweet air and utter deep silence. A time to revel in and rest in.

    Sun gone about an hour in North Kildare. Still clear overhead and to the east so temperatures are currently falling fast. The rapid drop should slow down once the blanket of cloud arrives although it doesn't look like a continuous later out west.

    With all the weather fronts rolling in lately the wind has been pretty tame with jet pushing them further south than usual. I just wonder how much longer this will last for. I can see something more vigorous arrive in the not so distant future maybe.

    ECM and AROME showing the approaching front possibly producing some wintry precipitation over high ground in Northern counties in the early hours of Sat morning. Mountains in Wales should get a bit of a pasting from the this.

    Left Ballymote and it was 5c. Very close to feeling snow and it was bright then. Ballymote is one of the cold spots in Ireland. If anywhere snows tonight itl be there but not Sligo and probably not there either. Lol

    Chance of snow tonight

    Sligo town Snow chance
    Ballymote 10 per cent
    Ben Bulben 40 per cent
    Neiphen Mor 65 per cent

    Same here near Tralee heavy rain overnight and got quite windy gusting to 63 km/h

    Big showers going through his morning, last one with hail in it. Some bright sky at times but loads of showery looking clouds steaming in off the sea.

    AWS says 8mm but i think it might be more than that, must check the gauge for leaves!

    8.1C atm

    Just been out to get turf in. It is stacked against the north ocean facing gable end of the old cottage.

    The wind has ice on its breath and takes the breath from us. The ocean is a mass of whipped up white struggling might.

    A glorious beauty and power. But not the weather to be outside.

    Thanks for reminding me of this..just googled Frank Kelly's 12 days of Christmas and had a listen. Hadn't heard it in years. Cheered me up on a cold wet day in West Limerick. Mind you, in between showers there's blue skies and sunshine.

    You're welcome Grace, I always enjoy your posts and command of language. Fair play to you living so remote. A forum like this is a nice connection for you. My 86 year old mam lives alone in hilly country,often snowed in so I have an idea how things get tougher by the year.

    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..
