    Jesus lads, I love snow as much as the next man :D, however I think its time to give up on snow now until winter 2011/2012.

    Mid teen temperatures due next week and we are then heading quickly towards April - oh God, I hope I have not launched a rant by snow lovers along the lines of "it can snow in April in Ireland" followed by links to pictures of snow in April in Ireland. Save it, don't wanna see it. Had about 2 foot of snow in Dublin last December, that was enough. Roll on Spring! :)

    Lucan village itself is in a valley so on calm evenings, it's very likely that Lucan experiences cold pooling whereby cold air sinks to the bottom of the valley (the village) and then sits there because it has nowhere to go.

    Pure guess though!

    I suppose the point is whether a weather station as important as Dublin Airport - which seems to be the city's main weather station (I wonder why not Phoenix Park?) - should be located in an area where cold pooling occurs.

    Is there any chance we could have a ban on threads about weather further than 7 days into the future? Because my hopes have been ruined many times, both in summer and winter.

    :(

    Agreed, this thread is pointless, theres no sign of any cold even out to 384 hours so what's anyone supposed to be discussing?

    Well the general idea would be that we'd stop posting and it would disappear off the front page, and that would be the end of it, but our discussion isn't exactly conducive to that happening!!!

    Never mind Spring, it was like summer today in Waterford, all the kiddies (including my little man) were in T-shirts at the park. A tad more chilly this evening though.

    The weather forecast is lovely - upto 17C next week, great weather to be out and to get work done.
    No pleasure with snow, not good for farming this time of year when we need a bit of warmth to get things going.

    Folks,


    It will be turning much milder towards the end of this week - temperatures could potentially hit the mid teens and it will be sunnier in a continental flow. Very pleasent for a while. Best to enjoy it while we have it because signs are a far colder period is imminent after that as high pressure retrogresses to the Northwest opening the Northeasterly floodgates once again. Snow and ice will become a problem again. But I think the warmer weather initially will be welcome and it really should be very nice with clear blue skies for a time. Weather we can all enjoy.

    No offence mate , but I will be giving your posts a wide berth going forward. Totally sensationalist and they indeed indicate more about your need for cold weather rather than anything actually based on reality :D. Temps due to reach mid teens over the coming week with a period of dry weather to occur and above average temps. Snow and ice will not become a problem again :)

    Heres Met uks outlook,mentioning a risk of Snow for North West of Uk in April. Maybe this is the cooling MT was hinting at.

    UK Outlook for Friday 25 Mar 2011 to Sunday 3 Apr 2011:

    Much of southern UK will enter the weekend dry with sunny spells. However, northern parts will be more unsettled with rain and some hill snow; the snow most likely in the northeast and possibly reaching lower levels here at first. Rain also moving into southern UK by the first weekend, leaving central and eastern Britain driest. Daytime temperatures will be near or above normal, however there is a continuing risk of overnight frosts where clear spells persist. Into the new working week, the cooler unsettled weather in the north should edge southeastwards; becoming less-marked as it does so, with southeastern Britain remaining mild and mostly dry. Into April, temperatures look to moderate somewhat, with snow increasingly limited to northern hills as more unsettled conditions arrive on a southwesterly wind.

    UK Outlook for Monday 4 Apr 2011 to Monday 18 Apr 2011:

    Initially, southern parts of the UK should continue to have some drier and brighter conditions, but unsettled weather further north is soon expected to spread to affect all areas. Rainfall is likely to be above average with a risk of sleet and snow across northwestern Britain, and this will render sunshine amounts slightly below normal. Temperatures should be around or slightly below normal at the start of the period but become rather cold with time.

    Although the days will be getting warmer as we go on, we could still see snow lieing for a short while.
    (Well us in Donegal anyways, yous down south I would say are safe enough)

    Looking like we're going to be in a low pressure sandwich come the end of the week. Just have to wait and see if the one from the north wins probably.

    I think this rather sensationalist thread has run its course. This week's looking far from cold, with snow and ice most definitely nowhere near to causing a problem.

    A very happy Equinox to all, at 2321 tonight to be precise.
    Turning colder later in the week as our high drifts further west but the dry theme continues as high pressure remains in control.
