Quick weather report.

Started raining about 2 hr's ago. Slowly starting to sleet with small hail
mixed in.

Is this the start of it?

Not quite, Dermot. I suggest it's one of those many beefy showers coming in off
the West coast. I think we need to wait for Sunday evening and overnight before
the truly cold air starts to move southward.

Watch the winds turn more to the N or NW. As it stand now they are predominantly
westerly.
(Well, westerly here in Dublin at least!)

Nice bright, dry but blustery day here right now. Temp 7c.

I'd agree Joe - the air has cooled quite a bit today, but is still a
westerly which has crossed the Atlantic from Canada. It will be, as you
say, later tomorrow before the Arctic air moves down.

Sleds at the ready here Mike!

The brother was asking me before Christmas what he'd buy my kids and I said
sleds.
"Sleds!?...sure we don't see snow anymore!", says he.
"Watch this space!", I said.

....I'm now waiting and watching. Here's to some of that Irish sea action on
Monday night and into Tuesday although I'm a little concerned that the wind
might not go NE enough for me.

I hope you'll be posting photos on your site when it starts getting very
interesting up there in Coleraine!!

Enjoy.

We'll keep it slightly to W of N so that those polar lows can hit me !
