    Awful day in Offaly drizzle and cloudy all day but as joanna donnelly said a few days ago on the weather she had good news after Saturday it will be mild but never mentioned it will be mild and grey and wet,it was a 100 times nicer when it was cold and bright and dry

    I know. The forecasters always talk about mild weather in winter as if it is something we all want and enjoy!

    It usually brings cloud and rain, so it’s not something I am excited for.

    Have been informed the Dublin and Wicklow gaps are only passable with extreme care with treacherous conditions up there

    Meanwhile in north Donegal there’s a stiff breeze and it’s fierce mild. The walls are still standing mind

    Temperatures got up to 5c here today, while the snow and frost is gone the ground still hasnt thawed fully.
    One from the frozen nearby pond yesterday evening.
    Its a pity it didn't freeze again last night as it would've been a great place to go again today and also have a look at the frozen lakes nearby.

    About 4 degrees in cork city. Snow on the paths outside my house is finally beginning to melt after being there since Wednesday... very slowly at that! Mad

    Some of us, do when the choice is being frozen and blown off our feet..

    Mild is grand and we are made waterproof! Happy here... ;)

    The wind is singing after a lengthy silence.

    I think it changed direction in the night as something that was rattling loudly stopped ( see how scientific we are out here!)

    West Mayo offshore.

    So glad the wind and drizzle is back, said nobody, ever. At least there is some decent rain to look forward to later on.

    But some are thankful that the bitter cold and ice have gone … and yes I am glad the weather has changed. Very glad! It was lovely listening to the wind in the night.

    And whatever our feelings will not change the weather. It is what it is . And it will change again.

    I appreciate it is all relative to your own circumstances, and location. With small kids and especially with no school I'll take dry and cold any day.

    Thank you and yes I totally understand. Kids need to be out!

    My real point is always that as we cannot change the weather we may as well adapt and make the best of it.
    We take what we get. Regardless of location etc.

    I am a refugee from the Outer Orkney Islands , and came to Ireland as I said at the time to get some sun on my old bones before I die. There was precious little up there and as for the winters. Four hours daylight at most and weeks of constant wet and wind summer and winter alike, . The three day gale of up to 124 MILES an hour is something I will never forget. ( that is on official record) Nothing we get here compares.

    And I love the soft, gentle days like today.

    Each to his/her own. Which is as well!

    And an even shorter spell of cooler temperatures with you maybe seeing double digit temperatures on Wednesday.

    Tomorrow’s cold airmass for Ulster is up in the North of Scotland.

    Too saturated for snow but will be crisp and cool.

    Everyone now just wants to be famous at any expense. "Look at me, I got quoted! I'm going to keep putting any old rubbish out there to now to build my followers even more!"

    Even Recreto is whoring himself out on the Severe Weather Europe page, which itself is another clickbait frenzy.

    People back slapping themselves and saying cold is nailed on over on netweather.
    The scatter in the postage stamps shows its anything but nailed on.
