The wind and rain has finally arrived for me, nothing bad yet...getting there.

When did the regional threads open again? I must have missed it.

I'm definitely ready for the winter ramping again. That's definitely sleet/partially melted hailstones you've got there. The cause of the temperature drops and wintriness is most likely to be strong downdraughts within the showers/rain band, thus colder air filtering down to lower levels quite quickly. MetO actually have N/W areas of Ireland under heavy hail symbols. You could class this as the first wintry spell to come to our shores of the Autumn and Winter.

Serious flooding on the roads around here, I have been out clearing the ditches as the drains are overflowing at the minute, I have never ever had it as bad as this before. I just wish it would bugger of to the east and drain away.

Congrats on the first wintry weather Ronandrinks.gif

Good to see you back Watcher - although not very good cough cough watching by you if you didn't notice the regional trend has been opened since Marchacute.gif

The Wife tells me it was snowing in Omagh, no sign of it in Pomeroy which is a bit strange!!

LOL just got a leaflet through the post from the road service about its winter service, never seen that before do they know something we don't....

Yeah, bad watching on my behalf lol.

Suddenly got very intense here, horizontal rain, gusting winds, car alarms going off. I even have a first, water being blown vertical into the air in little droplets. Strange noise also, almost like a vaccum cleaner is sucking on someones face lol.

I dread to think why the car alarm sounds like it's getting closer.....is it flying? Wind a little calmer now, rain has also become less intense but still moderate.

I won't ask what you get up to at the weekend!!

And I don't know why I am excited to say this but its sleety here now as well!!

Hope you don't live a low levels folks, if you get this rain there is a good danger of flooding especially in prone areas

That's all she wrote here, winds have died down 75%, raining normally (ie boring wetness) and the squall has passed. 5 minutes of Glory, but it was worth it. I'm in a low lying area, but don't think flooding will be an issue here as the rain hasn't been as consistent and heavy as other areas.
