It wasn't snow, it was rain, just weird rain that was getting blown about in the wind. I was blowing in my window and hitting me. I'd know if it was snow, it would have been colder.

Red Hand

Blue skies, fluffy white clouds, and-is that the sun?:eek: It looks like the sun is out here in Cork! Hurrah!


Thank God for not living in Dublin at the mo...either its snowing there, or there is mass hallucinations taking place-both of which are disturbing

Hailstones here, so strong that if you went outside, they'd kill you. Fact.

Its Thunder, it makes a sound, you can't see thunder so why do people always look?

Because there could be lightning which is always cool to see.

Yeah, but by the time you hear the thunder, the flash of lightning has already happened.

Thats why people look out the window in the hope of seeing it

Blush_01

The office was mental when the thunder was doing its thang, so we barely noticed, although when the boss realised that it was thunder rather than a printer being knocked off a desk she freaked out a bit. Strange!

MooseJam

thunder and lightning very very frightning

Peewee_lane

In OP's defence, as I stood at the bus stop at Lower Baggot Street, after it stopped 'raining' I looked at the ground and couldnt believe that it looked like sleet, definitely not like rain had just fell. In OP's defence, thunder and lightening occurs with freezing in the sky, etc so there might have been a severely cold patch up there that caused a little mix of rain and snow shower.

Definitely, I've loved watching it since I was a kid. I like looking at pictures of it too.

That wasn't snow, it was soft hail. Van's windscreen was covered in it when I came out of work. Usually falls at the leading edge of a t-storm. It forms in warmer air than normal hail so it's less dense, and when it accumulates it ends up looking like semi-melted snow.

Thats EXACTLY what I was trying to say!

Now now, thought I'd told you before not to believe everything you see on TV, just because the TV is on the blink doesn't mean that it's actually snowing outside.:p

Just as well that massive bolt of lightning didn't hit that passing police car in the first video then, eh? Otherwise he could have found himself back 22 years!

Great Scott, Marty..... ummmm..... I mean The_B_Man!*
