Winter 2012/2013... What are your predictions??

Sobanek

So, we all know how cold and snowy last year's winter was supposed to be, and it was... just cold.
Since they predict -20c this winter, do you think we'll get teh white stuff for Christmas? I actually like snow, so I don't mind

What are your predictions? Cold and snowy or cold and rainy?

Lots and lots of snow??

Irish logic dictates that if we are prepared for snow we'll get no snow. Everyone go buy grit salt and those stupid grips for your shoes to ward off bad weather.

Chuck Stone

It'll be like the summer winter of 69.

Moist and warm with a happy ending.

Wade in the Sea

I strongly suspect the weather outside will be frightful but the fire'll be so delightful, and since we've no place to go let snow let it snow let it snow.

Though it'll probably rain instead.

Remmy

I'd love a bit of snow but then for it to piss off when I need to get somewhere important.

I have 100 ton of salt - we will get feck all snow, I am a bad businessman. If I had none, we'd get a foot of the stuff.

It already came. Kept me up all night with the moaning and groaning. I think Spring was fingering it.

If it snows I'm gonna die. I seriously don't know how anyone who isn't unemployed or in school or college could look forward to snow! It's the devil I tell ye. Makes it impossible to get anywhere!

I predict snow.
The uk is set to get a terrible winter. We're only a few miles away from them.

Same distance when the sun shines but we never seem to get their good weather.

No, I am alone in making sure the men and women of Ireland continue to get fashionable clothing at great prices regardless of snow;) You owe me a debt you will never be aware of! Anyway, my new mind-frame is "Anti-fragile" for those who get that, so bring on the snow, I will laugh in the face of its white slipperyness. It will make me stronger.

I say it'll just be rain and wind. We've not even had much frost yet where I am.

Your centrally heated basement sex-dungeon is not representative of the rest of the country. Get out more.:D

Pherekydes

December the 20th will start off wet and windy. Around middday it will be fine and about 20 degrees. Later in the evening, snow will arrive and the temperature will plummet. Or the temperature will plummet and snow will arrive. I'm not sure. Just a typical winter's day. Somewhere.

December the 21st will start off normally enough, with breakfast. Then, around midday...

There won't be snow in Africa.

Yup sure did, actually i hate to break it to everyone but the peak of Mt Kilimanjaro is covered in snow all year round.

You lied to us Bob. You fuckin lied man.

I predict a riot

-20, you say? Sure then it'll be too cold for snow.

It can only "not" snow at absolute zero I am afraid. If we go there then you won't be worrying about it snowing or not.

DEFTLEFTHAND

The usual winter, mild enough 7-8 degree average with regular rainfall through out

starlit

I predict it be very mixed like November. It be mixture of being mild one day, raining another, blustery, and perhaps very cold but not sure if we'd get snow its possible depends how wet and cold it gets. If we do I don't think it be that bad.

We had a cool enough summer except the odd warm day here and there but then again it was a very mild Christmas last year so anything is possible this year as the years before that were pretty cold or wet. Each year was different in the degree of how the winter weather went though. Temperatures dropped dramatically two years ago but only lasted a few days.

A few weeks back it was very cold and the cool air came down as polar air from the north pole/the Arctic.

Hard to know. Just have to wait and see what happens! I'd expect it to be cold and probably either wet or dry but little snow. Not sure how much the temperatures will drop say it be no different to what we have had so far.

It still feels like autumn right now. I think it will be a late winter, so snow in January and Febuary.

It's nearly december and there hasn't been even a sniff of frost yet.
I remember slipping my arse off going to school most octobers. But then I'm so old that could have been the last ice age.

Yeah, another underwear soiling winter ahead for me. I live up a series of hills and last year was a nightmare trying to go anywhere early in the morning. I think I'll have to ditch the car and invest in some skis =\

Spring will follow, if we get through next month.

Huh, never knew that. I always heard wizened old people utter those wise words of weather forecasting while staring wistfully at the bitter cold sky; I wanted to believe they held the secrets to precipitation in their aged brains.

Turns out they were just talking through their @rse.

I think people say that because its colder when theres no clouds and no clouds means no snow.

Yakult

Scattered showers across the land, with some downpours being heavy in places. As you can see, this low pressure is coming from the Alantic, some heavy showers, light in places. Might be sunny some places but rain more. That's your weather from RTE, thank you and good night.

Absolutely full of sh1t the lot of them. How the hell does it snow in Canada or Russia when it's minus bloody 40 then if that's too cold to snow? Do they truck in vast consignments of snow from warmer climates and manually spread it all over the place?

Like anyone would look into a clear sky no matter what the temperature and make the cretinously obvious statement that it "won't snow" :pac:

Hippies!

End of November: Close & Wet
Beginning of December: Cold but too cold to snow.
Middle of December: Fierce close and wet (Panic that there will be no snow for xmas)
Xmas Period: Mmmmmm period.
That Horrible Aftertaste of Xmas: Sticky & Wet
New Years: Windy & Wet
January: Depressing Weather
Beginning of February: Wet
End of February: Bitterly cold and sleet, sure sign Spring is here.

Accuracy: 98%
