Bitter easterly wind. 1C. Cloud.

Oh ye have little faith.

What did I tell you about March delivering for snow?

I looked out the window this morning at snow and unlike you snow loves my react was well feck it anyway way how am I going to get to work in that!

However the drive was actually easier than yesterday morning! I never want another day like that so anything else is a bonus.

Beautiful clear skies and it was snowy but not icey so you never know I might convert to snowy person yet!

It's going to melt rapidly anyway this morning but hopefully kids will get a few snowballs in first.

I absolutely hate rain, for me it's the WORST weather condition by a mile. Add wind to it and if possible to hate rain more, well I hate it more. And I hate it more, more again if it comes with double digit temps in winter. Rain, wind and mild double temps = humid nightmare. I'll be straight on the Internet looking to see where I can emigrate to [lol]. I'm one of the few on here who loves the cold, hence for me cold rain is a bit more bearable. Cold gets very bad press. Just wrap up! Now fair enough cold can be heavy on heating bills and I'm very lucky that I have a warm, economical to heat, south facing house. So yep, give me lots of dry, cold weather til about April. And then give me a long hot, but dry summer. I don't ask for much, do I!😁

Back to this absolute muck today, lashing rain and freezing cold a total write off, shopping centre packed sure where else would you be going on a day like this?

If the EC is correct, you may get your final wish about a long hot and dry summer with a ridge of high pressure almost slap bang over top of the UK & Ireland (1976 and 1995-esque) 😉 just for fun, don't start getting sucked in by early false hopes 🤣

Poor, just like any other long range forecast. Purely just for fun 😉

We will miss those dry calm grey days now!

Is there a chance of more snow next week?

Very mild this morning here in Castlebar in a southerly airflow. Cloudy though and looking wet for the afternoon

Rotten day in Cork, 12 degrees, grey skies and relentless drizzle.

The difference in temperature today is unreal. When I looked out this morning dry but dull so I was all wrapped up for my walk.

I was sweating after about 10 mins and when sun came out, I had to take jacket off for a while!

Sun didn't last but it was so nice to have mild temperatures again, rain on the way though.

Well the problem is I'm a very cold creature so looking at weather app no real use to me🤣. The thing with walking is you do feel cold at the beginning but then warm up. I often bring 2 coats on a walk to cover ever eventuality.

The absolute worst thing is to ask my husband if its cold out before I head out because he will always say no as he never feels the cold!

So true Oscar Bravo, that was like our car park in work on Fri, everyone texting each other at crack if dawn to see if we would be in our not and then by time we were all going home not even a bit of ice left, never mind snow.

As my mother always says March of many weather.

No named storm in winter or to date in spring in Ireland. We haven't even come close to having a named storm this year. Anyone know the last time this happened since the naming system was introduced?

I’m down in the Canaries today and yesterday were a balmy 27 degrees glorious sunshine blue skies. Heaven.

Correct.

Yellow snow warning for parts of the country from tonight

no seriously...
