    This month will have been 5 years on from the beast from the east. Fun times.

    Absolutely not. Coldest airmass since 1991. Coldest for the time of year since 1785. The term has been used for years before 2018 but now every easterly has to be a beast from the east instead of just an easterly 🙄

    5 years since much of Leinster and Munster has seen a measurable snowfall other than transitional dustings. Last time I've seen more than 2cm of snow was on Paddys day 2018. This gap in proper cold and snowy weather is getting towards the huge snow drought of the 2001 to 2008 period.

    Each winter that passes without a snowflake my expectations for the following winter lower. Hopefully we will get another beast from the east style event before I get too old to enjoy it as I'll be retiring in 2040. Winters are flying in one after another now very quickly with nothing to show for them.

    I was reading through plenty of old threads and a lot of your comments were in regards to how little snow there was from 2001-2008. That must have been a painful stretch as a snow lover. 2000s such a bland decade.

    Despite temperatures at 10c here today, it feels quite bitter out in the wind. Or is that just me getting old?

    No you're right, it does feel cold and it did yesterday. Don't forget that 10C with zero windchill added is the threshold for adult hyperthermia. Real feel is something like 4C where I am this afternoon in 60 km/h winds.

    This guy in particular explains things very well. You can sense his passion for meteorology by his tone. One of the best IMO.

    A pub run special. There could be some heartbreak tomorrow over on Netweather if it slides towards the other models, which is still the most likely outcome

    Don’t know why they get their hopes up constantly, it’s very strange carry on. Nice to look at but not to be taken seriously at this time scale.

    The pub run has zero support from all the other GFS members, it's on it's own.

    A brisk bright day with LIFE in its fresh breath... Fingers numbed! But oh the zest and sheer loveliness of it. Never the same vista for more than a few minutes...

    Pretty intense anticyclone today, widespread values in excess of 1045mb earlier. Since at least 1964 perhaps, I haven't seen such high pressure in the month of February in Ireland. The highest value at a synoptic station on synops earlier was 1047.7mb at Oak Park whilst Durrow had 1048.2mb. For context, the Irish February mean sea level pressure record is 1049.1mb at Mullingar on 7th February 1964.

    An absolutely peach of a day here in NCD.

    Not so much as a whiff of a breeze, great few hours spent our in the park.

    Seen the 1st daffodil of spring today!

    Well even though it’s fierce boring for weather enthusiasts at the moment I have to say the dry, sunny weather is very welcome. A great drying period over the next week or so.

    Bring on days like this every day I'd say, this is perfect.

    Your weather and climate site doesn't have a domain attached?

    Apologies, I cancelled it as I was no longer happy with the site and looking for a way to overhaul it before I give public access again and forgot to remove from signature. In the meantime, lots of stats in the Irish Weather Statistics thread or the usual occasional posts I do when something of statistical interest pops up.

    These last few weeks remind me very much of last winter - just hope we don't pay for it with a prolonged cold spring like last year....

    Yes, very useful stats. I have literally never seen my ancient barometer at as high a level as it was yesterday, so I check here and sure enough Syran has the answer!

    Prolonged cold? Last spring was one of the warmest on record. Surely you mean spring 2021, after the relatively mild March.

    If it wasn't for the cold spell at the start of December and the deluge pattern of the second half of December this winter is almost a copy of last winter. Mostly mild and dry (since early January and will last into first half of February).
