This is going to be very tough on farmers, particularly as the growth of grass has been so delayed. If this turns out as bad as Weathercheck suggests then there will be huge numbers of livestock lost.

Coles,

On a positive note if it comes it wont last long at this time of year... in other regards, this past - and what I see as a more natural - winter could be a good thing in that it may be a bumper year for crops, etc, considering that in in recent years our winters have been more wet and mild.

I'm sure when the grass does grow, it will with a vengence, I think the recent cold has probably been good for nature.

delw · 30-03-2010 12:37am

light rain at mo

patneve2 · 30-03-2010 12:40am

I personally do not care about the hardships snow causes...why? I don't drive, I'm not a farmer and I'm a selfish bast*rd.

I just find that it calms the mind and is pretty.:cool:

Those same parts want one last snow day before the summer

Meanwhile snow is starting to stick here:D

Listen go over to the Airsoft forum and start annoying them because they like to shoot each , or the football forum because they like to play with balls or even the antiques forum cause they like old stuff .

This is a forum for weather enthusiasts whom are bound to like weather extremes , to put it simply if you dont like what you see then dont come in here .

Otherwise join in with the banter and drop the attitude

It won't have to last long to kill any sheep or lambs up on the hills, but I accept your point.

nacho libre · 30-03-2010 12:55am

still raining at a steady rate here:(

danni2 · 30-03-2010 12:56am

Well It's very nice outside now, moderate to heavy snow falling and sticking very well to grass and cars and now the tarmac is starting to accumulate as well:)

i am not a selfish bastard so i do not qualify to view this thread?

patneve2 · 30-03-2010 12:57am

yes, much cooler than someone who comes on a weather forum and is puzzled on why people 'love snow'. You obviously have your own interests too and the fact that I have a passion about weather (and snow in particular) blinds me from the fact that it causes hardship...same goes for people who like volcanoes and volcanic eruptions and a million other examples.

Of course , even if you were you would be welcome , but if you expect people not to like extreme weather in here then ..........

Look, if your going to quote me at least TRY to do so accurately ..
Where did i say anything about people who "love snow"?

I asked two simple questions, neither of which have been answered properly....

AllGunsBlazing · 30-03-2010 1:09am

If it does come down hard at least we wont have the same panick over the schools like last time.

They are off for the Easter break already aren't they?

obsession with snow, sorry.
what two questions, ask and I will answer as truthfully as possible.

Supercell · 30-03-2010 1:10am

You're wrecking my snow buzz.

Yet again, i never stated that i "expect people not to like extreme weather in here"
i just asked a simple question with regards to peoples fascination with snow on here.
I'm beginning to see the way bogus forecasts are created in here,

Rite I will put it to you like this , I am not going to go to a pro drift event or even a motor show and ask the people there what's there fascination with there motors even though the car is just meant to get you from A to B, its not a toy !

I never said you stated that but coming into a weather forum and questioning peoples fascination with the weather at hand (snow) and then calling the thread a lame duck, now your calling the forecasts bogus ??? its only asking for hassle .

For the record , as long as I have been using the weather forum the forecasts have been on par with the full time professional MET Eireann and above them in a lot of cases .

snow ghost · 30-03-2010 1:23am

barney,

Some people look forward to snow just as some people look forward to sun in summer, no great mystery about it, especially not on a weather forum... snow has been enchanting people for centuries and every year millions of tourists go off in search of it in the Alps, etc.

barney 20v · 30-03-2010 1:26am

8 c here and dry as a witches tit...
Probably not the correct Terminology but sure,,,,,,,

The wind is REALLY picking up here now in the last 5 minutes- I had a really major gust a few minutes ago... tis getting pretty wild out there! :eek:

Nacho, do you think there is any chance of Mayo seeing much snow???

congo_90 · 30-03-2010 1:47am

No more snow! I just fixed up al the plumbing, damaged walls and paint in the house not too long ago! I don't want to be up at 4am cursing the builders shoddy/ corrupt insulation standards again. Nor slipping on my ass on snow!

Supercell · 30-03-2010 1:48am

Cooler air making its ways eastwards, temperature falling rapidly now.

owenc · 30-03-2010 1:48am

It's 1c out and windy and still sleeting I thought the colder uppers wouldve been in by now.. The hills above must be drenced in snow Is worrying for tomorrow though might be sleet all day!

lol.. I am perfectly entitled to be on this thread.. Asking a pertinent question and then defending myself from being mis-quoted is not against the charter!
I have even tried to make a contribution to this "thread" with my up to the minute weather report!

If i have done anything wrong then please do feel free to pm a mod.....
Until then please try to stop forcing me from this thread.

snow ghost · 30-03-2010 1:53am

That ever increasing wind has a menacing air to it, there could be structural damage - be safe everyone... oiche mhaith.

MUSEIST · 30-03-2010 1:55am

Bring it on.

owenc · 30-03-2010 2:30am

Yep - looking at the latest temps around the country its apparent that they have fallen of a cliff in East Leinster in the last hour or so:eek: - an "interesting" 24-48 hrs ahead for sure:)

Birdnuts · 30-03-2010 3:13am

And we now have heavy wet snow with a temp of 1C - Amazing to think only a few hours ago the temp was pushing 12C:eek:

Stevek101 · 30-03-2010 3:16am

2C here in Dublin CC and heavy rain... I would even be happy with a bit of wet snow!

If failing to understand why people are wishing for something which places strain on everyday life and has the potential to claim lives makes me a fool then "GOSH" i must be..
I followed the threads about the jan snow fall with fascination ...this thread however is a lame duck imho .

Crossing the street has the potential to claim lives! Those things you mention are a by-product of snow. Most of us just love the sight of it falling, the sound it makes and it's magical properties (ahem...)Wether we wish for it or not, if it's going to snow, then damn it it's going to snow.

Birdnuts · 30-03-2010 5:15am

Snowing steadily with about 1cm on then ground all ready:)

H2UMrsRobinson · 30-03-2010 5:46am

Well bless my soul, tis snowing already in D3. Which is practically sea level and about 500m from the coast so anything possible today I'd say.
