Just little patches of it Nacho, not much at all.

The molten lava seems to have melted it.

if there is -40 upper air and the northerly is potent, a lot of the country will end up seeing snow eventually, even areas that usually have a snowshield from a northerly. those charts if they were to stay as shown, are ripe for a polar low too. the great thing about a polar low is it could lead to a heavy fall of snow as far south as Bantry

your just teasing us now nacho :D

Not a good sign with next week's cold spell coming

The National Roads Authority (NRA) has directed local authorities to conserve salt stocks. The treatment of roads will be restricted to Motorways, National Primary and National Secondary roads. Regional and local roads will not be treated until further notice. http://www.irishweatheronline.com/2010/12/treatment-of-roads-reviewed-as-salt.html

Lets hope they get there act together, its turning into a joke at this stage, after last year you would think they would stock up just in case.
If we get a cold spell during the xmas period I have a feeling no road will be treated, and some of us have to work

Because i'm a wheelchair user and am ****ing sick to the teeth of the ****ing stuff. And I've spent a ****ing fortune on taxis over the past week and a half, and am not sure if I can claim any of it back!!! And I've lost half a week's annual leave that I could really do with into the bargain.:mad:

Ok , for someone who has no clue about the weather except for what I see outside my window, could someone give:

The best case scenario and the worst case scenario.

Its just my estate is extremely dangerous, in Clare so got hardly any snow but roads were bad, so should I stock up?

Should I get all the pressies and food shopping done this weekend?

I know this isnt exactly a science question but I have kids and dont want to be stuck for anything!!!!!!

Temperature looks like being cold enough for a prolonged peroid but that doesnt necessarily mean snow. Lots of other factors needed.

My own amateur view is that the really cold/snow comes from the east ? So we are in for another Siberian frontal assault ?

We hardly got snow the last time but the ice was the problem, how low do you think the temps will go, Im more worried about the frost and trying to drive.

Complaining about the weather isnt going to change anything.

Try getting around in the snow/ice in a wheelchair. :mad:

Of course the cold spell is an inconvenience to many but this is a place for discussion of the weather not the inability of our infrastructure to deal with it.:)

i feel your pain... school opened back up on Monday & the road & path still iced over a lot of snow. Met a mam & her baby in a buggy & her 9 year old in his little wheelchair. Oh God love her - the struggle.. So I told him to throw it into gear & id push.... Some ordeal I can tell you .

Good on ya. Personally, I prefer to push myself around, unless its someone I know and can trust. When I came home from work today, I had a go at pushing myself in the remaining snow/ice on the footpath outside. I'd say I managed about 3 feet before I almost went a**e over head!!!

I feel for you but coming on here typing profanities and complaining about the weather is not going to do you any good.
Take a joke next time instead of throwing curse words at the keyboard!
