    Sorry if I’m a bit late to this but I’m going to just stick with the Met Éireann stations and say that the low will -8.1°C and the station will be... Mount Dillon.

    We’re all talking with some measure of amazement at the temperatures. I attended a funeral in the west of Ireland in December 2010 where the temperature outside during the morning mass was -8 °C. Thank FOOK we didn’t have to go to the graveyard that day (cremation) as I was NOT properly attired. :D

    Just gone -7.5c here in Durrow as I get out the set of frosty keys to pad-lock this thread until... (um, whenever I get up) and re-open her for comments and evaluation of a very interesting night of extremely low temperatures across this fair Isle.

    Good luck to all with their predictions, and at least a little fun was had in these testing times.

    Enjoy the remainder of the night, and please God there are no burst pipes at yours come dawn.

    -9.1 at Danno's location, -8.5 somewhere else within 50 km, I don't know the co-op network in much detail, but among the official stations, -7.4 at Oak Park.

    Looking good MTC - a few observations still to pour over.

    A -9.1c was recorded in Crerouge in Meath County. :eek: (https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IGALTR1)
    A -9.0c was recorded in Garrymore on the Laois-Offaly Border (http://www.garrymoreweather.com/) :eek:

    Just back from a long walk, footpaths are like glass up town. Checked the car temp this morning and showing -8c, not sure how accurate it is.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,219 ✭✭✭Gaoth Laidir


    Of the official stations, -8.2 °C at Dunsany and Mullingar was the lowest.

  • Registered Users Posts: 202 ✭✭CirrusBusiness


    -8.7c Navan
    -8.3c Thomastown


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,718 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    I undershot the number, but I knew Dunsany would be the extreme value for last night.

    I was so close to getting the temperature right! But not the station. :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,985 ✭✭✭BLIZZARD7


    Was that Casements lowest recorded temp since 2010?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,836 ✭✭✭pauldry


    Pathetic. -8.2c. Is that all you've got weather.

    Weather: No. Tune in later this month for part 2 of this competition

    -8°c is not to be sniffed at in Ireland


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,836 ✭✭✭pauldry


    Its -4c in Moore Park at 9 pm. Shame milder airs coming in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,836 ✭✭✭pauldry


    Wait a sec. Its -5c there now. Will it beat allcomers? 100/1 but interesting


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,280 ✭✭✭✭M.T. Cranium


    Looks like I did okay with the extreme but there are probably guesses with lower total error in terms of 1-2-3 as my third in particular was 1.6 out. Anything that happens at Oak Park tonight would not qualify, the contest says "overnight low Jan 8-9" which has long since closed by any standard.

    Yep, lowest since Christmas Day 2010. Which was its lowest ever at -15.7.

    Well done MTC! I hope you like your, erm - virtual trophy! :pac: :D

    Until next time (Cold Spell III - 2020/21)

    I think I overthought it a bit too much, wondering how dewpoints would react, etc. Or maybe I actually underthought it! :rolleyes:
