    It struck me as odd too! We'll have to put it down as a Siobhan Ryan-ism :)

    It's peculiarly Irish thing alright. The other day in work i referred to the rain outside as a "leaky sky". Don't know how i came up with that but it was the best way of describing the infrequent drops of rain that were falling.

    We're some country for language,we have a whole lingo all of our own!:)

    Weepy weather = no snow. That's how I'd define it?

    To weep is to cry, so maybe it means lots of rain. :)
    It made me lol when I just seen it on the weather forecast.

    Weepy weather means damp dank weather with loads of condensation on any unheated inside walls. Hence weepy !

    I have some outbuildings and in certain weather conditions the floors weep, basically without any rain or water getting near it becomes wet.
    My parents would say the floor was weeping.

    As Kristopherus said it is a build up of condensation.
