You're on the wrong side of the mountains

Very little drizzle here.

Also very little rain, snow, frost, thunder, hail, graupel, fog, wind or sunshine!

The Ultimate Meh?

well next winter can only be better, even if next winter is another mild winter it's still bound to throw in a few 24 hour northerly topplers which were even non-existant this winter. So were bound to see a bit more wintryness next winter even if it doesnt amount to much.

Winter 2011/12 was quite mild and dry, especially coming after three cold winters in a row. Met Eireann’s report for the season states that the winter was also much cloudier than average. Sunshine figures are not recorded at our South Laois County station in Durrow owing to nearby buildings and hedgerows – so the National Service provider’s data is used here. Also, note that the winter months used in Ireland are December, January and February for meteorological reasons as opposed to the more familiar ancient Gaelic calendar of November, December and January which is still popular in modern culture...

Winter 2011 / 12 wasn't boring at all. Here are the extreme weather events that took place during this Winter (see if you remember any):

- Hurricane Bawbag (8 Dec)
- Cyclone Hergen (12-13 Dec)
- Warmest Christmas Day on record
- Cyclone Ulli (3 Jan)
- Cyclone Andrea (4 Jan)
- Summer-like temperatures on February 23rd

Overall the Winter was very dull (dullest for decades in places) (it evened things out though as the Winters of 2009/10 and 2010/11 were exceptionally sunny), mild and relatively dry.
