Eastcoastryan

Snowing heavily again in Bray, settling on the ground. Just had 2 huge claps of thunder too! I have never seen weather like this, it's actually freaky! Hopefully others on here will get to experience it too!!

Some nice stuff pushing into south dublin and wicklow now. Lucky gits.:p

If only the wind would turn a bit more easterly there would be a nice hammering to most of Dublin...

thunder, lightning and hailstones in dun laoghaire. i was only hoping for snow! what a surprise to get such a blue flash of lightning

that's the second time i've seen blue lightning mentioned here tonight, do you mind my asking what the difference is between blue & white (other than just the colour obviously!). does it need different circumstances to be blue?

please forgive my ignorance!

Usually when there is lightning and snow (thundersnow) the lightning or the flash looks blue.

Mr.Boots

Ok Did the inportant test...open window and listen for water running in drains and gutters......nothing!!!!! and still pelting down!!!

ninebeanrows

This is torturous i am seeing lightning and hearing thunder from a Thundersnow stream 3 miles to my south:eek:

Iancar29

In bed ... On this on my phone .. And still gettin flashes of lightning through the window! It's only brilliant! , to lazy tough to get up and wait standing looking out .

Can't believe there's white on that radar image! First time i seen white in a long time!

It's shocking tough , I been waiting for this all week and the first of it all decodes to hot SE Dublin and below... Ah well, another day 2moro!

I've seen blue flashes maybe 7 or 8 times over the last two nights. I drive allot and its bright enough to catch my attention any part of the sky. Its quite weird to be honest, first time I've seen lightning like that without any form of precipitation.

Artfu1Dodger

I know its a killer but patience is the key.:)

Saganist

Whats the name of the type of lightening goin on the east coast ?

over 2 inches now and rising here in Arklow.
Complete utter white out,its like a fog of big flakes.
The tree branches and hedges are weighted down

Not

Either that, or we need IOM to go wander off somewhere for a while :pac:
Frustrating, as feared its all passing just to the south of me (south Dublin) almost within shouting distance.

Welsh Wizard

Another huge flash in Greystones , wing has got up a bit, sounds like it's lashing out but it's snowy grauple.

Another t & l there

Welsh Wizard
