    Where's Nettle Soup ? need some humor around here

    I am busy writing poisonous hate mail to Joanna for not giving me a sign that she was reading my posts on Boards.

    Very excited about Emma v Beast and I really hope the west gets some fallout.

    Starting to rain in Waterford - ferry bank side of the river....

    I was out in it all day driving for work. I genuinely can't understand what the fuss has been. You just assess what's going on around you and act accordingly taking as few risks as possible; whilst at the same time being prepared and organised.

    Other countries don't make as much of a fuss and noise....... They just get on with it. Only ones carrying on as usual and without fuss appear to be farmers.

    Wonder did he mean March?

    Plus what's the criteria? How many stations?

    March 1965 had some ice days for Ireland.

    Possibly?

    Criteria is temp not over -0.1c for a 24 hour period - midnight to midnight.

    Any station that gets that records an ice day.

    What depth of snow?

    I measured 10 inches out the back. It's drifting so it's hard to get an accurate measurement. Some drifts 15/16 inches. Some even more. Winds been heavy all day.

    Snow was big enough earlier but as the winds picked up more it's got really tiny.

    Okay, I kind of resent being called a troll just for saying there's freezing rain... Here's a picture:

    OQwwk1W.jpg

    It's extremely smooth and slippery, and practically invisible without the camera flash.

    I can only imagine how dangerous this is to walk/drive in (it's practically invisible without the camera flash), so I thought it was worth posting about...

    I'm sure it will turn to snow later. I'm not looking to dash people's hopes here.

    I went against the panic buying and stocked up expecting to get the shops tomorrow.


    If the warning has been extended would it be safe to assume all shops will follow suit? And would assume they won't be open at 6pm!

    Food I'm good for but the wine situation will be dire by tomorrow!!

    Go Siobhan !!!! Weather now on RTE

    Your thoughts on Newbridge tonight? Hasn't stopped snowing all day, and with those drifts its getting up to 3/4 feet in places, will this storm hit us straight on? Because we will literally be snowed in

    Hasn’t stopped snowing all day in Longford but not too sure if the forecasts tend to include us as “midlands” being the most northwestern of Leinster counties !

    Light flurries of fine snow falling here in South Tipperary, near Clonmel. Temperature seems to dropping slightly again.

    Roads around the estate are dodgy with snow from last night/this morning. No major wind as of yet

    Was incorrect earlier, is definitely snow as the roads are white again and we're clear a couple of hours ago

    Honest mistake though and initially did seem more rain/ sleet like than snow

    Sometimes I can be wrong

    Mad. At airport 3km away, it's snow. Also snow here in Malahide.

    Maybe freezing rain?

    Ive never seen Siobhan on the RTE forecast. Never watch it as I get the daily forecast from M.T. but dear god it,I thought she was near hysterical,if I was an elderly person I would be scared witless. Very strange way of presenting the forecast. That of course is my own opinion.
