Big Freeze Discussion / Heavy snow & Blizzards continue - 02/12/2010

chucknorris · 2010-12-02 07:38:29

I'll kick this one off this morning :) Blanchardstown packed with snow. The IOM shadow is still lurking. PS: Tomorrow could be interesting too if what Met Eireann say may happen - westerly systems hitting cold air.

I think we should all remember this is November and that we are witnessing something special.

ahhh finally i get my dose of the Big freeze thread! I couldnt connect last night, i didnt know what was going on :mad:

Bray got plenty yesterday but not much last night i think. I got the bus to work (Blackrock) and although it was slow, it was pretty smooth ride. I got to work in time. Roads nearly empty
The rain today radar shows no snow for Dublin CC, South Dublin or North Wicklow for now.
Lets hope we get some later!:D

I'm in Dublin 13 near Howth. We're in the IOM shadow. Clear skies above us.
I can see a massive streamer to the north. Just to my north and slightly out to sea there is clearly visible large snowstorm.

Not knowing where you live I'd suggest Milletts or Great Outdoors for a good pair of walking shoes or boots. Just make sure you buy nice thick socks as well.

More snow in Waterford overnight. Footprints I made in the garden are gone again, must have been a heavy fall.

Jaysus, I woke up in Maynooth only to get shocked by an additional 4-5 inches that fell overnight. I was not expecting that. Going by the radar there's more to come over the next few hours as Maynooth is in a shooting line of the streamers north of the IOM shadow and they keep bubbling up.

Now, lads, I'm from Poland and such amounts of snow are not unusual for me, but this is slowly starting to get serious even from my point of view. Somehow I can't imagine the rest of the winter looking like that, I think we will see a lot of snow over the next months but not accumulations like today/tomorrow.

My wife took a train to Connolly in the morning and spent 3 hours in it as it got stopped for an hour in Leixlip and another at Broomsbridge.

EDIT: just started bucketing down again!

A pair of hiking boots and two pairs of good wooly socks have been great for me.

hehe sorry, I'm just bitter (no pun intended:)) , I'm one of the Isle of Man
Shadow victims.

But in general is good to 'encourage' people to include their location when
giving information about conditions etc..
