The calm before the storm

It seems Northern Ireland is going to be in for some pretty fierce storms tomorrow, so I guess this is the calm before the storm.  Where I am we are expecting winds of around 50mph and gusts of 80mph.  The whole island is under a red alert and schools will be closed.

Tomorrow will be a day for inside the house, so perhaps my BlipFoto will be the barometer reading!!  Photograph today is some winter sun at the hardware shop!
