How dare you say I was exaggerating about the severe cold in Dublin! :D

I want a full public apology after you have read the following Irish Times article that confirms that Casement Aerodrome, DUBLIN, recorded a severely cold temperature of -15.7oC on Christmas Day 2010.

Well I am waiting for the apology.......................;)

Also didn't the Greenland express come from Greenland last year :pac: (NW).

More or less. There was little, if any occurrence of the 'beast from the east' last winter. Most of the easterly flows were maritime sourced, from either the arctic north or northeast.

I do agree with you on the eastern counties better placed for the real kinda snow derekon but I have to correct you on your exaggeration of -15c recorded in Dublin, yep you certainly got the snow !

The GFS has just picked up the split polar vortex. (allbeit in a different time period).Stick with the ECM. Things about to get very interesting with the weather;)

Norwayviking

About time!!!

Bring it on, anything seasonal will do at this stage.

This mornings ECM backs off a little from the (much) colder tone, to my eye anyway, there is pretty good agreement again between it and the GFS.

Cool, mild, cool, mild, cool, mild, cool, mild is the order of the day for the forseeable future by the looks of it methinks.

Why do you all want very low temperatures ?

Because it's supposed to be winter, a few weeks of cold and snowy weather and then bring on the spring, it's the same in summer we all well most of us want warm sunny weather.

Thanks for coming back to me but I would be quite happy with mild all the way.

Does mild excite you?
Extreme cold excites most posters here in winter.
Ditto with extreme heat/thunder in summer etc
This is a weather enthusiasts forum,what do you expect people to be excited about here? Mickey mouse?

The answer to your question is elementary ...if you don't dig weather or dig something else,there are 100's of other fora on boards.ie,you'll find something thing I'm sure some people here equally won't understand.

Joe10000

Well Blackius the forum is weather and the title is about the possibility of cold weather next week, there was no suggestion of any exclusivity when I started following this thread. I simply asked why everyone seems to want cold weather and I got a polite answer without any attitude, thanks anyway.

Well now you know what to expect on weather discussion fora...
You appear to imply by not liking my answer that I have attitude
How quaint

Anyhow,check any weather forum in the world and we the enthusiasts display the exact same characteristics ...as do I suspect a significant silent minority outside of these places.
The east versus west gets better snow being an example of the way people go on about it when pushed.
Actually I suspect Letterkenny on average sees more snow than Dublin city in a year but probably considerably less than the sally gap.

Joe10000, too many here think weather has to be extreme to be discussed.

Min

Farmers though are excited by weather that isn't too extreme.

I want my milk collected so I am not a fan of snow or ice as it could be costly, or floods or drought for field conditions in the spring/summer/autumn period.

I don't want storms to blow down the sheds either.

But I love the weather and we have to take what we get, as Joe Bastardi says, it is the only weather you got.

Apology graciously accepted :)

Always remember that Dublin is in a prime position for snow when an easterly or north easterly wind hits Ireland. Think "lake effect" snow from the Irish Sea and you will understand what I mean

Well , a temperature of -15.7oC is pretty low by any standards! I understand places in Mayo and Tyrone dipped to around -17.8oC so in fairness Dublin was not far behind and don't forget that Dublin received bucketloads more snow than Galway!!! :D:D:D:D

I'm sorry lads, but i and probably many others are really wasting time loading this thread on my phone, everything is going way off topic. PLEASE can we all just stick to the rules? Only the regulars seem to be trying to keep on the point.
/rant over.


So looks like we may see some hill snow in the NW regions next tuesday and wednesday.
850 temps no good for anything at low levels though. I personally just want some frosty temperatures back..

darkman2

This continues to evolve. Sunday night looks interesting now with wintry showers into Western areas and some snow and wet wintry stuff. A bit from column A and a bit from column B. Let's call it "snuff":D




Back later..

BRING IT ON!

Bring it on indeed, but I have heard it all before. There was a major weather warning in November wasnt there, big studio setup, the winking weatherman, the whole shebang, get your salt, get your winter tyres, get your show grips...yet it has felt like July for the past week or two.

How the actual f**ck can they get it so wrong? Are they for seerdious?

My winter tyres work fine in the 12 degree heat, thank you very much weatherman!

To be fair Dublin got less snow than many other parts of England.

Regarding prospects of it turning colder, the mild storm and rain here is horrendous, I'd love to see a bit of frost and blue sky. Just for a break if nothing else. This weather is dismal if you live on the Atlantic coast.

The best we can hope with that setup darkman is a snowline of around 200-300 metres in the north and west, with some hail for everyone else. A huge Atlantic track will butcher the boundary layer of its cold. For the rest of the week it's back to a westerly mix of mild and not so mild, i.e. very Januaryesque.

SLP and T850 (00Z ECMWF)

Really not looking good for proper sustained cold so with the Atlantic fully in charge of our weather for the foreseeable future :mad:

This thread, so far, is having uncomfortable sleep and taking rice-balls. :cool:

The UK met forecast for the next 30 days is a mixture of mild, unsettled weather with cold interludes but nothing extreme.

True.
I think your milk collections are safe enough for the foreseeable though unless you are over quota
