Rabies · 07-02-2007 11:30AM

Terry · 07-02-2007 11:31AM

nothing on the mountains?

all we got was a few flakes that barely covered the ground.

scojones · 07-02-2007 03:05PM

It's snowing here, yay. Very lightly mind you.

ClareBear · 07-02-2007 03:15PM

I want snow!!!

Maynooth isn't that far out, I demand some snow!

cornbb · 07-02-2007 03:19PM

There are a few half-assed flakes falling in Galway. Pretty and all, but my house is out of heating oil so I'm not looking forward to sleeping with my scarf on again tonight

Dutchology · 07-02-2007 03:32PM

No snow here... Well what do you expect from the tight arsed clouds in Cavan?

ninebeanrows · 07-02-2007 03:38PM

I expect most of ya's will be seeing some snow tonight.. especially thos in leinster and the Midlands... Dubliners should wake up to a good covering 2-4inches..

Red Hand · 07-02-2007 03:50PM

Well, round now, it should be ankle to shin deep in Mid-West USA. And In Dubland we get only a soup-skin thick layer of sleet on the ground. Grrrrrrr!

Just started snowing here in north east Galway.

free2fly · 07-02-2007 06:15PM

We should have 24+ inches by this time of the winter. We've only had 1.8 inches so far. But I'm not complaining! I hate the snow!! :mad:

Really? Thats odd, I was in Ranelagh at 8 this morning and there wasn't a speck of it.

Usually I love the snow, providing I've nowhere to be or if its something I don't have to necessarily attend. At the moment I'm working 9-5 and walk 35 mins to work so really hope it doesn't snow much (and I'm not waiting around for a bus, especially during the times its snowing as the traffic is an absolute nightmare), its bad enough that the pavement is quite slippy these mornings.

I know! thats whats made me all confused! like 2 cars had a good amount of snow on em! mabey he came from the northside, as it snowed there this morning!

Ah, did you mean it wasn't snowing on your way to school today? (You said it was in Ranelagh in the above post).

Yeah, saw a few cars covered in snow myself on my way through Ranelagh/Donnybrook/Ballsbridge, just presumed they came from the Northside or out of Dublin as there was little or no snow on the Southside last night...hopefully it'll stay that way too!

I like the fresh mornings, though they are a bit nippy, but if I've to slide across the slush all the way to work I won't be happy.

Saruman · 07-02-2007 09:31PM

I did not see any snow this morning until i got to Finglas! None in the midlands though i heard we will get it tonight.
Like Ruu said in the midwest US its pretty heavy!! On the other side of Lake Michigan my inlaws said that Holland Michigan has such a bad snow storm that places are closing down and people are being told not to drive! Which for Holland means it must be bad since every time im there in winter its constant snow and its not inches deep its in feet!! They get snow called "lake effect" which means its very nice soft snow caused by Lake Michigan.

embee · 07-02-2007 10:19PM

I am willing the snow to come to Co Louth with every fibre of my being. I love it.

Rb · 07-02-2007 11:59PM

Lol, Munster is the only place forecasted not to get snow

According to the weather forecast, its going to be 5-10cms of snow tomorrow...how much would warrant the day off work?

Thrill · 08-02-2007 12:06AM

It's lashing rain here in cork at the moment. I doubt we'll get a sniff of snow.:(

Knowing Ireland, about two cms...We aren't exactly prepared for "extreme" weather...curse our climate's mildness!!

Yeah its p1ssing here too, apparently its going to turn to "heavy snow", but being Ireland it'll hit our lovely wet pavements, turn to slush and the pavements tomorrow will be hell to walk on...and I've to trek to work at 8 am

Wouldn't surprise me. Interestingly enough, it seems to be freezing everywhere (Ireland, UK, US etc) despite it being "spring".

I think we all know the weather here sucks, we get half arsed winters without proper snow, and half arsed summers without proper heat/sunshine (despite the fact that we do get a *bit* of nice weather)...hopefully global warming will sort that out

Not by anyone I know! that would make august in the autumn!

wikipedia is your friend:

Time period of winter

Astronomically, it starts with the winter solstice (around December 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and June 21 in the Southern Hemisphere), and ends with the spring equinox (around March 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and September 21 in the Southern Hemisphere). In meteorology, it is by convention counted instead as the whole months of June, July and August in the Southern Hemisphere and December, January and February in the Northern Hemisphere.

Basq · 08-02-2007 12:49AM

The snow right now in Sligo is really coming down.... think i might take the day off tomorrow.

Took a picture of what i see out my window right now - click here!

hyuk hyuk! Just kidding - not a bit of snow here!

Night all

randylonghorn · 08-02-2007 01:22AM

Dude, even in Sligo taking pictures of your neighbour's teenage daughter getting ready for bed is out of order.

At least label it NSFW, ffs!

lemon_of_old · 08-02-2007 01:29AM

Hah! Just started to snow in Sligo after all. Sligo has it all - snow AND teenage girls getting ready for bed.
