Don't say that buddy. Precip wasn't due till 2200hrs and temp will still be lower, i think you'll have one more crack before the warm airmass comes in, the beefy precip aint arrived yet.

That's mad!

Rain just started here and rain it is.

Enjoy the snow in Santry:eek:

highdef · 03-12-2008 9:35pm

Enjoyment over. Its plain old rain again now. The odd bit of sleetyness but doubt that'll last. Was not expecting to see snow flakes!!!

arctictree · 03-12-2008 9:36pm

If SC is not getting snow there is no hope for me at all. :mad:

It's doubtfull that he is.
I've just done a drive up the road and only met very wet snow at 1000ft asl.
Below that it was a very sleety rain.

Temp and dp here are rising rapidly
Now 4.1c and dp 2.7c

I suspect that even at that 1000ft mtn gate,it's rapidly changing to rain now.

Wertz · 03-12-2008 10:13pm

V. Heavy icy rain in Dundalk currently..started about an hour ago...bloody freezing too, 34F on the dashboard.

Deep Easterly · 03-12-2008 11:34pm

Very loud rain outside now. Deadly.

nacho libre · 03-12-2008 11:46pm

watching the bbc weather was very frustrating:mad::mad:
we need to move Ireland up to where Scotland is.

crappy rain now with a temperature of 5.3 c

Danno · 03-12-2008 11:54pm

It is frustrating allright Nacho, but the trend of weather so far this winter (still only 3 days old) is very encouraging. The ability of the cold to dig in so early this year certainly bodes well for the remaining three months of the season. The cold of the north is impressive and in just two weeks we should see the continent freeze as well. When that happens we will have plenty of potential. A sacndy high IMHO looks very very possible for the latter third of December with a re-run of Christmas 95 on the cards... watch this space.
