Billy the Squid, many thanks for alleviating my curiosity (I missed the broadcast) and giving me a much-needed laugh for the day. Everyone's description was spot-on!

Now, what's this about Jean's outfit the other night?:eek: Anyone got a screen shot of that one, or what night was it on and I'll check out the RTÉ player...

oldmillgal · 07-01-2010 10:31pm

GavinH · 07-01-2010 10:32pm

Pavements look lethal on the news. Remember watching Bear Grills (Man Vs Wild on Discovery) before (could have been the one set in West of Ireland) where putting a pair of socks on over your shoes gives you great grip on slippy surfaces. Could be only option!

jenzz · 07-01-2010 10:33pm

You had better not be apologising for anything..

ninebeanrows · 07-01-2010 10:33pm

Well folks try and live with this messy thread structure for the next few hours, will have a fresh clean thread by midnight.

Meanwhile chance of snow showers along east coast next few hours, light but chance of a few.

WolfeIRE · 07-01-2010 10:33pm

Episode of twin peaks just started at the end of the enws there

d'Oracle · 07-01-2010 10:34pm

I'm scared.

Gotta get food tomorrow.

thetonynator · 07-01-2010 10:35pm

Snow tomorrow and sunday and monday for me:D:D:D

Rougies · 07-01-2010 10:35pm

I'm beginning to like Gerry Murphy as a forecaster

WolfeIRE · 07-01-2010 10:35pm

WD Gerry My. Snow for Sunday and Monday:D:D:D

eskimocat · 07-01-2010 10:36pm

Gerrys on... nothing much changed since the 6pm, still talking about more of the east and Sundays chances for more hail sleet and snow again in the east and ... frost featuring heavily elsewhere..

What ever about outfit on Jean the other night, did you see the thing she was wearing on Xmas day broadcast - I couldn't actually watch the weather, it was a silver thing and it was bate into her:o desperate bad.

So snow on Sunday night then?

thetonynator · 07-01-2010 10:38pm

Snow:D Thanks Gerry, not one mention of rain, just hail sleet and snow

jenzz · 07-01-2010 10:38pm

i didnt see news there ( was too busy treking back from feckin Tesco)

What snow is due to me ???

As for Tesco:

No Bread
No cheddar ( only white)
No pizza ( the only one the kids will eat)
ONly 2 packets of Oxtail soup in the shop
No pink milk

Judging by the bodies in the place everyone has ran out or everyone is stocking up..... Place looked like had been ransacked

leahyl · 07-01-2010 10:38pm

Oh my god that was a wonderful, wonderful forecast from Mr. Murphy there!! BRING IT ON!:D

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that wasn't what he said........he said SIGNIFICANT SNOW lol

pistolpetes11 · 07-01-2010 10:39pm

Well for me Gerry called Sundays/Mondays event again ,

Thats it, Batten down the hatches , were doomed , all of us not just the east but mainly the east

:D

On a more realistic note , if it does come off most of the country should see snow from it , even the snow barren lands of Waterford/Cork

When real cold becomes entrenched for so long it becomes quite powerful, synoptically speaking.

Certainly there will probably be a moderation in temperatures, in terms of the diurnal range etc, but there is no clear unanimous signal tonight for an immediate end to this phase on Monday, from what I can see anyway.

SA

How powerful is powerful? How long could the cold if it is being sustained from the east fight off the Atlantic weather?

No surprise, the deliverys all come in artics, and an artic on ice . . . .not a pretty site!!!

Rougies · 07-01-2010 10:41pm

Prime Time should be very interesting... all about this country's inability to react to severe weather.

Bog Butter · 07-01-2010 10:41pm

significant snowfall in the east + scarcity of grit + exisiting lying slow + continuing freezing tempetures = chaos

I reckon we'll see the army on the streets and roads next week if this event happens. When we are old and decrepit we could be reminising of the big freeze and snow of 2009/2010.

hotwhiskey · 07-01-2010 10:42pm

Primetime the Gom is on about the weather

LookingFor · 07-01-2010 10:43pm

Tesco is having shortages? For reals?

The roads aren't THAT bad. People are using them. Surely tesco deliveries can too?

I joking said on this the other night me & wolfe will be here in 2027 reminiscing of the winter of 2009/2010.... We certainly will..... My dad ( farmer) said this is the worst spell he has seen since 81.... no thaw.... Every other snow had melted by time we got back from school following afternoon.....
