    Couple of facts:

    1) The eagle was spot on with his forecast the other night - mainly rain
    2) The beeb came out poorly out of this, also myself and some others on here
    3) Eventhough very if not extremely cold for next 7 days it looks very dry
    4) A widespread snow event is very unlikely for the forseeable.

    If severe frost and ice light your fire, you'll be in heaven - me will just chill and wonder how we always seem to avois the 's' word

    Hi all.

    Just checking in after a manic day. Had to bring wife for check up today as she is 4 days overdue. took 90 mins to travel 45 min journey because of snow here. They ended up keeping her in tonight and going to induce her first thing in the morn. All is fine with mommy and baby thank God.

    Got home this eve and saw that the 4 inch snow was still sitting pretty. just light snow here. Hope you are well. Happy for all the easties who are going to get snow:)

    Wolfe

    congratulations to you and your wife. i figured it had to be something fairly important that kept you away from the forum today:)

    Just wondering if anyone has any long range forecast for Dublin. I'm heading back from Donegal on Sunday afternoon, to an apartment that has very poor heating... In september we had to put extra blankets on our bed, now it's probably like the artic!!

    Also, has anyone known in recent years has snow lay on the southside of Dublin, ie Rathmines/Terenure region?? I can't for the life of me remember when was the last time we had a good snowfall!!:D

    I've an idea...why don't we all go off skiing or on an Icelandic adventure for a week of nothing but snow and beer every year so we get our fix of snow and just forget about hoping and wishing for it here?? That has all rhymed unintentionally:pac:

    I must have been home on holidays then, thats why I missed it!
    For some reason I was always under the apprenhension that snow generally wouldn't lie in the city...more like slushy stuff, not like the snow we had up here last weekend!! Go Grace7!!:D

    The radar's showing the precipitation band starting to retreat southwards from Ulster in the last 2 hours. No sign of it intensifying as it does, in fact might be dissipating a little... :mad:

    Still lashing down wet snow here, as can be seen above about 4 cm of pure slush on the ground. Driving conditions on the local roads must be lethal.
