Cold Spell January 9th to 16th 2016

Believe this or not.

In Sligo town this cold spell did not usurp the freezing night we had in October when a temperature of -0.5c was recorded. Could have been early November but dont remember because I thought we were in for one of the coldest Winters. Maybe February.

Current cold spell minimum on my station is 0.5c. Granted I think it may read slightly high but still await a minus 1.

Snow left in horseshoe. Sligo

Was pretty frosty up here in the NW last night, although it wasn't as bad this morning as I had feared listening to the weatehr forecast. They had mentioned -5c.

I am thinking thats the worst of the cold over now for a while?

Wicklow Mts today.

Snow is starting to melt here, the mud will soon be visable again, avalanches from the roof can scare the crap out of you, was nice while it lasted, thick low cloud with a little drizzle. 3.7 C

(S.E Sligo, high ground)

Hate to spoil the party....-7 currently here in Southern Poland, 18cm snow. Just in from floodlit skiing and sledging with the kids. This coming week temps as low as -20.

I'll post some pics when I get the chance to look through my phone.

Seems like this thread will have to die a death soon, apart from maybe some isolated frost tonight. Went up Djouce earlier on and it was very snowy/icy. Will leave one picture in here, the rest are over in the weather pictures forum.

My coldest day this Winter so far this Winter under very thick cloud. I still have a maximum temperature of only 3.5c and I got down to -6.2c last night.

What a difference 20km can make!

On this side of town we had a low last night +2.1C here, calm day with good sunny spells and an afternoon high of 8C, the highest for nine days.

The lawnmowers were out.

Average high the past seven days 5.3C; average low 1.9C which gives an average temp of 3.6C or 1.4C below average.

Still no air frost since 23rd November here despite three days on which snow fell and stayed on the ground, albeit only during hours of darkness.

cold spell almost seems like a distant past already it was so unremarkable for the majority of us. Damp, wet drizzely day and right now its almost a mild night, still damp and wet. Certainly won't get anything near a frost tonight. Temps currently 5+C almost nationwide.

Winter's certainly not over yet, I have a feeling we'll get another bite of the northern cherry soon enough.

hopefully within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Once the last week of February is at an end thats when the curtains fall down. March is always too little too late.

The variables in weather terms can be vast between the UK and Ireland.

Not really.why not post the current weather in France,Germany,Bulgaria? The point I am making is that posting the weather in the UK is hardly relevant to our weather.I,m not getting into an argument with you because I know I will only end up getting your thank o meter into skyhigh figures I bid you goodnight

After last nights freeze, a light layer of snow is covering everything to give that "icing sugar" look to the place.

It does indeed, pity it was only for some of the day, (ironically it was all gone by the time Eva+her sugar rant came on tv)

Yeah, that's the higher humidity Ireland. Cold weather in Canada would be dryer - most regions anyway, Vancouver has a similar climate to Ireland.

When the humidity is high during cold weather, the water vapour penetrates the pours of your skin and makes you feel colder.

This is even noticeable in Ireland. I'd much rather be outdoors when it's -8*C on a clear and frosty night than +8*C on a wet and windy night.

I don't know much on weather, but I've heard someone in Ontario the winters in Vancouver, could be very rough & could the humidity explain no snow on Dec 25?

It would appear that some people are not seeing user's sigs for some reason (where Oneiric has specified his location as Galway), I would suggest hovering over your username -> then control panel -> then edit options (in the bar on the lefthand side) and then look for "Show Signatures" which should have a tick next to it. Beyond that I am not sure what the problem is.

Thanks, i didn't know that, must be turned off by default?

A northwesterly rarely delivers much Snow except for obviously in the north.

We can but dream of December 2010 when most saw some lying snow

What an absolutely beautiful image! ðŸ˜

Here's a few images, inc one of Dec 2010, hopefully it's not too late to post

With no sub 0c temperatures this morning, I think we can safely say this 'cold spell' is over and the thread has run it's course!
