Yeah Bara Best only a few puddles due! Thats why we have an amber warning! Quality forecast last night. Keep up the good work. Going to be hairy later! 

[bobbarley]

Met office have increased the chances of cold weather in January. For the first time this winter they have snow for my location on Thursday night

[Abyss]

The first Amber rain warning this Autumn/Winter for Northern Ireland.  Considering the flooding in the West from Desmond and two weeks prior to that it could easily be the third.

I am off the same opinion Bomber, I have been surprised at the lack of some warnings

[gary1365]

Winds certainly picked up. Roads were seriously bad here too last too I haven't been out anywhere today to see but I'm sure they're going to be worse by tomorrow morning. 

 

I don't watch the weather or news on TV but from what I've heard the bbc have seriously underplayed this storm.

Oul Frank starting to beef up a bit now! Interesting night ahead!

[ronan]

Upgrade for snow on the GFS for NYE. Surely we can bank this. Nice to see!

[BornFromTheVoid]

Just back from Clonmel. They're rushing to get the flood defenses up, but water is already coming up through the drains. Plenty of surface water around and some strong winds, but nothing we haven't already seen this Autumn/Winter.

[Weegaz]

Winds really picking up here now, does anyone know what time they are going to peak at?

No real rain here at the minute to talk of

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

The wind is not to bad here either, the rain is starting to pick up though....

[gary1365]

Wind is really picking up here the sister in laws back gate had blown down a while ago 2 doors down from me. My front gate is swinging on its hinges but I can't be bothered to go out and close it lol. The rain hasn't really arrived yet. 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Neiller you must have been on complaining to the BBC, Barra was very concerned looking tonight, giving out flood line numbers and everything lol

[Neiller22]

So the penny finally dropped on our Bara! Classic! Lights flickering away here st my folks house though they are 250 metres asl ! I'm half tanked but loving it. Roll on mid Jan! Still on course for my predicted cold stap! But it was a pure guess to be honest! 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Just watched the RTE news desperate stuff in the West of Ireland  Some talk of a sting low tomorrow bringing stronger winds (what ever that is) stay safe folk's 

[Neiller22]

Yes Pom. Looking rough again in the morn. Let's hope this wind blows away all the mild and snow next on the cards! I really do love winter. 

[bobbarley]

We lost power for about an hour earlier, hope no more blackouts!

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

I expect you will see some snow showers rattle through at your elevation ASL courtesy of a brisk westerly flow.
