    Drove past Dublin airport during that shower. Etihad a330 landed right into it. Crazy they were given clearance to do so. I'd say new pants around for the pilots.

    It's the pilots' decision whether to land or not, not the tower's. Obviously no problem for them or they would have gone around. Nothing to see here.

    I hear you. but the conditions changed so dramatically in an instant. I'd put my mortgage on that the pilot got a shock on touchdown , lightning flashed 5 second after .

    I'll send you on bank details for that, or a cheque will do? :pac:

    A332 can land in zero visibility. Going around for a light snow shower that they would have been able to see on radar is about equivalent to suggesting a car should jam on the brakes because of a small puddle.

    Must admit it's been a lot more sleet and wet snow than I thought. Certainly no lying snow as of yet anyway. Intensity of the showers lacking. Met Eireann were forecasting thunderstorms not sure where they seen that in charts?

    And they also mentioned isolated thunderstorms. Certainly was isolated because there was no thunder where I live, 5km away from the airport.

    Id say definitely so. The force of the hail, combined with the gusts can cause rapidly deteriorating road conditions.

    What's nauseating is this type of comment from the same ole people over and over. It seems nobody from Dublin is allowed to post anymore...

    These aircraft are rated for Cat III b landings, that's runway visibility of between 50-200m which is primarily for taxiing safety. At typical approach speed anything less than 1km is essentially zero visibility.

    it must be indicative of an equally repetitive opposing narrative.

    Your rebuttal is equally as repetitive & predictable.

    Same ole,same ole,eh Gaoth. ;)

    Some central areas could have dustings this evening. Dew points are pretty low and showers likely to stay going until later tonight.

    Haha take a look at today’s SFERICS before you make such a poorly informed comment.

    Prolonged spell of fairly heavy snow in Letterkenny, settling on the grass but not amounting to much elsewhere
