  1. Some decent storms over NI at the mo, slowly coming this way. Very rare I think for storms over there to make a crossing over to here but think there maybe is a chance tonight. The current rain over here has a v high cloud base and its v warm and muggy for here. Maybe someone could give a bit more insight into whats going on and either boost or dash my hopes?!

    You're right there Joey, fantastic storm passed over us for about an hour, plenty of Lightning and cloud rotation too, passed NE though, not sure if you are inline or not. It really built out of nothing and intensified, I got very excited about the cloud rotation but it moved off on its merry way taking the rotation with it into the distance. Some pics:

  2. Did any of you guys break your all time records last night?

    My all time record is -10C and I'm very very surprised to see Ireland cop such cold!

    Yep, I did (since I have been recording for the past few years). Overnight low was -8.5C last night Stephen, the previous night was -7.2C which was my record and breaking it the very next evening was quite an achievement!

  3. Spent the night out with Mrs Dazza last night at her Christmas party in Antrim (Dunsilly Hotel), woke up to 4 - 5 inches snow, fantastic. Drove home to Stewartstown this morning and we only had about and inch, how disappointing!

    Must also add, it has been a long time since I have seen a snow plough on the NI roads, but I managed to see 3, yes 3, on the stretch of the M2 from Antrim to Randalstown this morning (and for those whho don't know the road it is a strach of about 4 - 5 miles).

  4. A great series which goes down well in the Dazza household (well I enjoy it), I have a lot of respect for Josh but love it when you see Sean's frustration when Josh sends him the wrong way, and that Reed, well he gets it spot on time and time again. Love it, roll on S3.

  5. I don't know, I'm off here for circa 6 months and all hell breaks loose! In all honesty, good luck to you all, having been on here for a number of years and witnessed the comings and goings, highs and lows, you all have your work cut out. I am sure you'll all continue to keep things ship shape.

  6. Very heavy shower here at the moment, showers throughout the day so far have been infrequent. The sun is blistering in between so with the mix nothing has settled as yet.

    Still, it remains early!

    Mrs Dazza is away in Spain at a conference at the mo and will be flying back into Dublin tomorrow evening.

    I would be greatful if anyone could give me the heads up from the airport North during tomorrow afternoon so I can let her know how things are (she is driving back up).

    Cheers.

  7. It's been absolutely hammering it down for the last hour and 20mins, my Weather Station has recorded rainfall of 20.7mm during that period. Not seen anything like it for a long, long time, the main road is flooded and the rain is making a nice swimming pool in the gravel at the front of the house, nice!

    Currently 11.7 Degrees, Overcast and Raining (Heavy) with no signs of subsiding as I write.

    Edited: for poor spelling and corrected before OON got to it.

  8. I agree with what John and John say here.

    Home weather stations are really there for showing current conditions and for recording data on an ongoing basis and for future reference.

    The forum is a great place to pick up ideas of future weather conditions from the Pro's and Am's and you could always sign up to NW Extra as well for a small sum and you'll find much more data here than a home weather station could ever collect (apart from Oon's of course).
