Lots of snow in Dublin city centre. The whole place looks beautiful (for once).

Still waiting in Blanchardstown
Im like a big kid waiting up for santa clause.


I did expect Dublin to get snow this year. As we all remember new years night and even in feb 2009 it was bad too. Didnt expect it this soon.


Am i the only one freezing my ass off at the moment?

Well I grew up in florida and having seen plenty of lightning of many varieties I'd wager it was lightning. Not all lightning is the typical forked, bolt to the ground. Some of it is just flash, pop, aka Heat Lightning. And then theres even rarer (ive never seen it) ball lightning:

20 seconds or so in.

And Red Sprite and Bkue Jet lightning

And more commonly to equatorial regions, heat lightning: http://www.viddler.com/explore/zeroslashj/videos/3/

Here's a frame by frame look at a video I took of the lightning earlier. The whole sky lit up for this one and it was by far not the biggest bolt..

We had a beautiful thunder and lightning storm last night! It was somewhere out in the Irish Sea

Those pics are amazing... Had an early night & managed to sleep thru all the drama -so thanks for that!

W.Shakes-Beer

Well, have to say I had a ****e nights sleep. Mainly because I was enjoying the flashes and bangs (giggidy).

At one point I was awoken (im in an attic) and the whole house actually shook. Im hoping for more of this, have the Video camera battery on charge as I speak.
