Well there it is now offically named in the Met Eireann forecast for tonight...

"Storm Jake will feed down a core of strong to gale force winds westerly overland tonight - stormy infact for coastal areas of the west and southwest. Organised bands of heavy showers moving down in the flow too, merging to longer spells of rain, sleet and snow - all with the added risk of thunder.. Snow accumulations are likely, especially later in the night for the northern half of the country, as well as for higher ground elsewhere. Cold, with lowest temperatures of -1 to +2 degrees Celsius, risk of frost and ice too."

That is one of the most appallingly badly written public forecasts I have read from anybody in a very long time.
