The quality's not the best, it was snowing heavier than the first photo lets on.

Lovely pictures artictree, you have a better eye for the camera than me , thats for sure!!

I've taken about 100 snaps so far and about to head out for some more as its probably going to melt pretty fast one it stops snowing.

Pheewww.........rough morning here in Carlow town as you can see:

)

Ah no, here we go, here is the extent of the snow down here......laugh if you will

If you look REALLY hard, you can actually see snow!!

And there it is..............ahhh, snowdays, dont you just luv 'em! :rolleyes:

Takeshi_Kovacs · 08-02-2007 6:40pm

Great stuff Longfield and Arctictree. Fantastic photos for us rain dwellers to chew on( and grumble about, those jammy bastards up the country.. grr) Hopefully it will stay cold enough for ye to get a few snaps of the snow, if it clears up a bit.

I have to say, i had forgotten how much snow we are actually capable of receiving here in Ireland (in the right conditions of course). The last few times it has 'snowed' here, that i can remember, it was more akin to Croppyboys two greeny shots..

Trogdor · 08-02-2007 7:19pm

Here's my few from the wicklow mountains unfortunately it was starting to melt already:(

arctictree · 08-02-2007 8:30pm

Some pics from 8pm.

My patio. The snow depth measurements were taken on that table:

Current snow depth, 8pm:

Milktrolley · 09-02-2007 12:09am

Killeshin Hills, taken from the car as my Dad was driving. That's why the quality isn't great. It was taken at around 5pm this evening - plenty of snow across the Laois border as seen here and on top of Mount Leinster.

Supercell · 11-02-2007 6:10pm

Drove up to Sally Gap today. won't be doing that again in a hurry - car sledged much the way down

Took the road from Roundwood to Sallygap wich was passable if driving carefully, then made the wrong decision and took the turnoff at the top to descend via Enniskerry.

Road was absolutely lethal, took it in first gear for most parts only passed one 4x4 guy going upwards and met about 4 cars deciding that they were not going to make it up and turning back (and one stuck French driver)- I certainly wouldnt have made it to the top driving upwards .

Scary but exciting drive to say the least..

Heres a couple of snaps taken near the highest point of the drive.

I will not be doing that again unless its in a 4x4 with a sleeping bag and a few days rations in the boot.

Beautiful view, picture doesnt come close to haw amazing this looks

View to the south - little did I know the road got far far worse this way!

Trogdor · 11-02-2007 9:12pm

Great pics Longfield
Yeh, we tried it yesterday in our ford galaxy:o . We were going uphill and we made it pretty close to where you took those pics but as you said the road conditions really detoriated the main problem was finding somewhere to turn with all the other 4x4's coming down. I think six passed going down forcing us into the ditch quite a few times:( . But anyway we got turned around near where you took those photos and made it back. It was certainly scary though and the fog was down aswell yesterday and it was nearly dark(around 18:30).

Trogdor · 05-03-2007 6:47pm

Another vid i put together today of yesterdays high easterly winds and spring tides. Enjoy.

Just a quick reminder of what march can deliver
March 2nd 05 localised hail shower left a covering which hit only bray and shankill with any sort of accumulation. The snow man wanted confidentiality and did not want his face snow around the globe:p

Wicklow mountains March 1st 05

Icicles march 6th 06 wicklow mountains

Snow falling in Bray March 16th 06. Paddy's day was bitter with a raw easterly i remember it chillin my face off on Bray seafront

Snow on the wicklow mountains 19th and 23rd of March 06

arctictree · 14-03-2007 9:11pm

In the spirit if the current discussions! Here are some pictures taken the morning after the 'big snow' of February 8th 2007! These were shot at 8am. Temps had gone below freezing overnight and the previous evenings thaw had turned to icicles.

My lonely weather station in all the snow:

Still lots of snow in the forest:

We need to make our gutters strong here in Roundwood! Its hard to see in the pic but there are lots of icicles hanging off my roof and that is a lot of snow about to drop:

lucernarian · 18-03-2007 9:07am

Linkies to this morning's snow. The first one is good as it get across the sheer volume of snow and the windspeed.

The second one is some collected snow outside.

We are getting quite a bit sticking here in Tipp but its not enough...its just going to melt right away:mad:

Dampsquid · 18-03-2007 11:24pm

Recent heavy snow shower in Monasterevin

lucernarian · 18-03-2007 11:41pm

Impressive snow sticking there. It's sticking to the roads as much as the grass. I'll upload some more tomorrow of the scenery here:)

kleefarr · 19-03-2007 8:34am

Not much more than we had last night before I went to bed. But there are a few promising clouds in the sky!

Hello everyone, some more photos of the Paddy's weekend snow. All these were taken on Monday morning.

This is the same patch of ground as in the photograph of the branch and grass I linked earlier, except with snow:)
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u123/desperate_days/HPIM0273.jpg

This one's an eerie photo of the 9 AM sun over a nearby hill:
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u123/desperate_days/DoDeDooDoo.jpg

This one was the last picture I took before heading back, as the snow was becoming very heavy. It's taken in the direction of the Boyne Cable Bridge in a field near the house, though naturally the bridge is obscured:
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u123/desperate_days/Lone.jpg

I like this one, though it's not of anything in particular. Taken at the top of the hill, you can make out some snow powder being blown by the strong gusts at the top.

Let me know what you all think. I froze my ass off for some of those:p

arctictree · 21-03-2007 7:51pm

Some nice pics there TBC esp the last one. This event was all about luck I think. The heavy night showers seemed to pass us by here in Wicklow!

Trogdor · 05-04-2007 8:34pm

Have there been any reports of fires in the Wicklow mountains? Saw this earlier, taken from winegates, near the back of Bray head looking roughly West.

Trogdor · 07-04-2007 1:46pm

Was up the mountains yesterda, testing out my new lense and counted 8 seperate fires when up there. Here's pics of one

Snowbie · 07-04-2007 2:22pm

Supercell · 07-04-2007 3:03pm

Snowbie, better call the fire brigade, your new house is on fire!!:p

Trogdor · 13-05-2007 8:47pm

Here's a few pics of tonights sunset with the wavey clouds, altocumulus castellues i think, maybe someone else knows

The sunset was amazing and these pics really don't do it justice but i managed to get one or two reasonable ones.

Edit:Thought i'd add in one of yesterdays convection aswell in B&W

Lovely pics there trogdor. On the way to school this morning i saw similar looking clouds way out towards the irish sea, they lloked amazing in the early morning sun

Hal1 · 08-06-2007 7:57pm

Some amazing shots of a TS forming, day turns to night basically.

Trogdor · 12-06-2007 6:38am

Hal1 · 12-06-2007 12:16pm

Amazing shots of that CB well done again

highdef · 12-06-2007 8:29pm

Here's a few pics taken from Blackhorse Luas stop around 18:15 this evening as a large cell had just skimmed past to the north

And here is the view looking southeast(ish) when I got home

Damomanye · 12-06-2007 8:33pm

Living in Limerick im watching these very dark scary clouds that have rolled in from the south west.

Im no expert but this one in the photo attached looks like a giant anvil.could be wrong

highdef · 12-06-2007 8:57pm

Beautiful shots there Trogdor!!!

Trogdor · 12-06-2007 9:34pm

Damomanye ,
Your cloud is a cumulonimbus, when it goes as high as it can it will fan out giving i mushroom like shape, that's the anvil(cumulonimbus incus)

I found this gallery of weather pics, mainly TS's. The site belongs to some french photograher very impressive with some really detailled up close shots. Well worth a look
