The Big Freeze ( Sunday 10th January )

ninebeanrows · 2010-01-10 00:24:07

Big falls of snow have been hitting much of Dublin this evening. 8cm of lying snow here with bigger drifts, best snow i have had for probably ever. Snow expected to become more widespread across Ireland during the morning and afternoon. Take care and make the most of a very rare event.

I'm going to live in hope of this weather happening on Tuesday, http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209

I don't know why the BBC are going against just about everyone else by predicting snow.

Lashing rain....

Time to shut this thread down perhaps? The freeze of Jan '10 is now history.
We've now had two easterlies this winter that promised so much but in the end they were both miserable affairs.(all the snow we got were in the form of convective showers) I'm now convinced that I'll never see a 1980s easterly again.:mad:

One of the more interesting sites I have come across in a while is the above showing flights over Europe. It was interesting to see the drop in activity when dublin and cork airports closed.

Instead of just saying thanks at the bottom of your post i wanted to thank you personally for this website, i've been looking for a site like this for years now as we get alot of air traffic over Waterford and i was always wondering where they were going. Cheers WolfeIRE
