Billy the Squid, many thanks for alleviating my curiosity (I missed the broadcast) and giving me a much-needed laugh for the day. Everyone's description was spot-on!

Now, what's this about Jean's outfit the other night?:eek: Anyone got a screen shot of that one, or what night was it on and I'll check out the RTÉ player...

Pissed myself laughing when I saw him also..all I could think of was this:

Pavements look lethal on the news. Remember watching Bear Grills (Man Vs Wild on Discovery) before (could have been the one set in West of Ireland) where putting a pair of socks on over your shoes gives you great grip on slippy surfaces. Could be only option!

You had better not be apologising for anything..

Well folks try and live with this messy thread structure for the next few hours, will have a fresh clean thread by midnight.

Meanwhile chance of snow showers along east coast next few hours, light but chance of a few.

Episode of twin peaks just started at the end of the enws there

I'm beginning to like Gerry Murphy as a forecaster

WolfeIRE

WD Gerry My. Snow for Sunday and Monday:D:D:D

eskimocat

Gerrys on... nothing much changed since the 6pm, still talking about more of the east and Sundays chances for more hail sleet and snow again in the east and ... frost featuring heavily elsewhere..

What ever about outfit on Jean the other night, did you see the thing she was wearing on Xmas day broadcast - I couldn't actually watch the weather, it was a silver thing and it was bate into her:o desperate bad.

So snow on Sunday night then?

thetonynator

Snow:D Thanks Gerry, not one mention of rain, just hail sleet and snow

jenzz

i didnt see news there ( was too busy treking back from feckin Tesco)

What snow is due to me ???


As for Tesco:

No Bread
No cheddar ( only white)
No pizza ( the only one the kids will eat)
ONly 2 packets of Oxtail soup in the shop
No pink milk

Judging by the bodies in the place everyone has ran out or everyone is stocking up..... Place looked like had been ransacked

Oh my god that was a wonderful, wonderful forecast from Mr. Murphy there!! BRING IT ON!:D

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that wasn't what he said........he said SIGNIFICANT SNOW lol

pistolpetes11

Well for me Gerry called Sundays/Mondays event again ,

Thats it, Batten down the hatches , were doomed , all of us not just the east but mainly the east :D

On a more realistic note , if it does come off most of the country should see snow from it , even the snow barren lands of Waterford/Cork

We knew you would love it when we saw it. You name was mentioned here.

And a final word from Paul Cunningham before the thread is closed?

When real cold becomes entrenched for so long it becomes quite powerful, synoptically speaking.

Certainly there will probably be a moderation in temperatures, in terms of the diurnal range etc, but there is no clear unanimous signal tonight for an immediate end to this phase on Monday, from what I can see anyway.

SA

How powerful is powerful? How long could the cold if it is being sustained from the east fight off the Atlantic weather?

No surprise, the deliverys all come in artics, and an artic on ice . . . .not a pretty site!!!

Prime Time should be very interesting... all about this country's inability to react to severe weather.

Bog Butter

significant snowfall in the east + scarcity of grit + exisiting lying slow + continuing freezing tempetures = chaos

I reckon we'll see the army on the streets and roads next week if this event happens. When we are old and decrepit we could be reminising of the big freeze and snow of 2009/2010.

Primetime the Gom is on about the weather
