    The last thing I do before I go to bed is check your forecast for the day ahead. Don't bother anymore with Met Eireann. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic new year ahead : )

    the word legend tends to be thrown around willy nilly, but it definitely applies in this man's case.

    Yeah but Adam Sandler has made enough crummy movies for one lifetime, doncha think?

    The part that would really be dramatic was when I found out about the O'Donnell business, my parents (bless them) had paused the explanation at Peter. Imagine finding out that ye're Irish (alright perhaps Irish) at the age of twenty-two.

    As you can see, I haven't done much with it. Prob'ly need to be there too.

    Happy Christmas and many thanks to MT and the regular contributors to this forum. The forecasting on this forum is consistently excellent thanks to your input.

    I do a lot of recreational flying and this forum is a superb resource to have when flight planning. On many occasions I have wanted to go flying but erred on the side of caution due to forecasts from this forum, no doubt it's kept me a little safer over the last few years.

    Cheers:)

    Aviation, marine and recreational (climbing, sailing etc) users should promise me and others who contribute forecast ideas around here that they will never fall into a sense of false security and that they won't use this source to the exclusion of official weather information designed for their user groups. We honestly aren't set up to maintain a continuous watch, nor is anyone posting here (including me) a qualified meteorologist in the legal sense. Some of us have figured out how to make forecasts, and some of you think we do it reasonably well, but that all together would mean butkus in a court of law if somebody gets blown off a mountain peak or lands on the motorway and scares a busload of nuns (who then sue Boards because that's what nuns do).

    And thus ends my Christmas story.

    Let me join the chorus: happy Christmas MT. I always enjoy reading your forecasts. It's one of the first things I do in the morning. :D

    I have considered myself as somewhat of a stateless person throughout my adult life, and not that keen on replacing the missing Canadian identity with either of the more obvious choices in practical terms, American or British,

    Based on the comments you made, I would hazard a guess that getting an Irish passport would not be difficult, if that appeals as an alternative.

    Thanks for the excellent work on the forecasts, they are indeed a regular required reading.

    All I need now is a break in the weather so I can get my weather station back up on its pole, but with the way winds are right now, climbing ladders on to the roof is not exactly appealing a whole bunch.......................

    Have a good Christmas and New Year

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    A very Happy Christmas MT and best wishes for the New Year, the first thing i do, every morning is read your forecast with my coffee... wouldn't dream of starting my day any other way!! :)

    Happy Christmas, MT!

    I wouldn't be on boards so much if it wasn't for your daily forecast.. So thank you so very much - 'tis a great way of being sure what boots/coat are needed before venturing out to meet the day.

    Santa will be glad of some calmer winds tomorrow night.. I have it on good authority he's been checking out your updates :D

    Just want to add my thanks for a years worth of forecasts. I work outdoors so it great to have an idea of what's coming and sometimes be able to dodge it......:D

    Greatly appreciated, and let me return the sentiment, Merry Christmas to all weather forum readers, posters, lurkers, major contributors and moderators. Did I miss anybody?

    I raise a glass to you all (one for everyone, have to stay quite sober looking at the charts), to this wonderful forum and to your wonderful country. If ever a foreigner came to appreciate Ireland, it was me, from my early days reading Irish literature and history, to the present time celebrating the fact that I have come to know so many Irish people.
