Severe Weather My Arse

Sean Quagmire · 31-01-2014 06:46PM #1

Why are weathermen such useless numpties? How in this day and age is it so difficult to forecast weather correctly?
I'm looking out the window at the clearest skies I've seen in the last 4 months. In fact I've actually been checking the forecasts over the last few weeks to plan golf outings and stuff and I cannot recall the forecasts from Met Eireann ever being correct - not once! I'm off now to do a spot of gardening and sand down the decking for varnishing tomorrow. Hell I might even dry the clothes on the line over night.

You are living in the middle of nowhere.

Met Eireann provide forecasts for Ireland.

Weather is different in different places.

It's been lashing all day in Dublin. What ever bog hole you're from it doesn't cover the whole country.

It was cold too, were you frozen ?

Sean Quagmire · 31-01-2014 06:56PM

I'm from Dublin. It rained a bit this morning that's it. F*ckin barbecue weather out there at the minute

The Backwards Man · 31-01-2014 07:03PM

Another glorious day in Donegal too. Met Eireann doesn't cover Donegal though so their warnings don't apply to us.

We had farmland flooded today... probably 5 acres of ours and another 20-30 down stream from us...

Heavy rain in morning , but rest of day fine, was expecting it to be windy.

finix · 31-01-2014 07:07PM

Are you a Rabbit ? Is your hall door ''Roundy'' ? Is there little pellets just outside your door ? Are you on Salad tonight ?

Stavros Murphy · 31-01-2014 07:08PM

There's a foot of snow here in Kildare. Shocking stuff. Everythings white. Didn't see that coming.

edit - just mentioned this to the missus and she has confirmed there was a large bit of bogroll stuck to the bridge of me nose. I removed it and it seems there may not in fact have been any snow..

Diabhal Beag · 31-01-2014 07:08PM

It's building up nicely out whest. Eerily calm.

Karl Stein · 31-01-2014 07:08PM

How the hell did your arse get severely weathered?

Have you been renting out your bum?

I'm going to open all my windows tonight, the humidity is just too much, hope there's a light breeze to air the house!

Sorry to hear that.

Larianne · 31-01-2014 07:25PM

I nearly fell over with the gusts of winds this morning in Co. Galway.

The sea will probably cover it tonight though

I would do but your mother has the market sewn up.

BillyMitchel · 31-01-2014 07:48PM

Leaving the clothes out over night?

Are you a badass?

Nemeses · 31-01-2014 07:50PM

Ah sure best way to judge the weather is to look out the window in the morning.

Also, I don't have a TV

Ha, I'll remember this next time some wind blows over a lawn chair in Dublin and a thread is created in AH

Here in Galway it's actually quite calm atm but supposed to pick up and flood later/tomorrow.

Best forecast site ever, never fails to get it right.

biko · 31-01-2014 09:17PM

It started snowing here.

oppenheimer1 · 31-01-2014 09:21PM

Well they have a Level 3 - Seek Shelter alert on the weather forum, and they're not ones to over hype a damp squib.

My ex wife said the same thing many years ago, and look what happened her. There she was hanging up the washing on the line, and I told her a storm was a coming, and a nasty one at that. She took no notice of my ramblings, and there, just to the west was a mini tornado of which happened to hit her direct and sucked her up into the sky never to be seen again.

Be careful. It's called the calm before the storm.

Was your wife the "wicked witch of the East" by any chance?

If so, I know where she ended up

31-01-2014 09:25PM

Not severe, just crappy, cold & wet!

She was found in a large accumulation of precipitation on the north-west coast off donegal, and she's a coming back to work on us all, seek shelter from the north-west. She's a strong and powerful lady.
