    They had sleds in Ken Black's today. Would I be tempting fate and Chione if I bought a couple now?

    Go for it, as long as you have the room to store it, then having a sled is always better than not having one. It'll definitely snow again - can't be more precise with the timing though I'm afraid.

    I have uncomfirmed reports of snow in Naas today. They were turning on the Christmas lights and a small snow shower started up. I can't tell if it is snow or someone on the roof making fake snow.

    Thought as much. He had a lot of people fooled. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Is there any hope of a cold snowy winter ahead?

    I understand that at the age of 15 you feel like you should be casting off childish things as you are all grow'd up now but give it a few years and you'll learn to love it again.

    Woke up early this morning and behold, lot's of frost. Quite a lot considering we live on the shore. Puddles and buckets of water were frozen overnight

    Recommendations for keeping warm in the snow.

    Official release this morning from the Department of Environment in relation to adverse weather and in particular snow.

    1: Wrap up well
    2: Wear sock or snow shoes
    3: Go to warm pub:
    4: Stay there and send the wife this post.

    :)

    If this came from the Department of Envoirment it must be legit, I'll go to the pub now and wait for the snow. Cheers for the heads-up :)

    With all that snow coming....

    So did any one buy themselves a "Wooden foldable Sledge" from Lidl?

    (Though in this part of the country "a sledge" is something quite different..:rolleyes:)

    UK MET OFFICE

    UK Outlook for Friday 23 Nov 2012 to Sunday 2 Dec 2012:

    Remaining unsettled as we head towards next weekend, with showers and occasional longer spells of rain affecting many parts of the UK, probably heaviest in the west. The best chance of some drier interludes towards the east. Often windy, with the risk of gales in exposed western parts. Generally fairly mild. There is a trend for conditions to become drier for many into next week, with rain becoming largely restricted to the far north and west. Temperatures returning to nearer normal or perhaps a little below, with the risk of overnight frosts. Towards the end of November and start of December, there is a good deal of uncertainty, but on balance, colder than average conditions are favoured, with an increased risk of frost and fog, and some wintry showers.

    UK Outlook for Monday 3 Dec 2012 to Monday 17 Dec 2012:

    As is usual, there are uncertainties in the forecast for this period. There are however, some signs of more settled conditions across much of the UK during the first part of December. So, although there are no strong indications of any particular weather type predominating, on balance, colder than average conditions are favoured, with an increased risk of frost and fog, as well as some wintry showers.

    I believe there will be snow in Ireland this month but I also believe you don't really want to hear where. :)

    I think our chances of seeing snow before the month is out are highly un-likely, fingers crossed for december :)

    MT forecast not so perfect!

    'FURTHER OUTLOOK ... Rather mild and unsettled, models are backing off earlier concepts of colder weather or easterly winds, this complex sprawling low pressure may be stubborn to break down.'

    Now looking like a cold end to November with snow and all...in Ireland even. :)

    Showing on the medium range ECM 32 model now.

    This was the model that first brought Hurricane Sandy to the US last month just as an aside.

    The GFS model is toying with a blocking high slithering into place as early as next monday in the most recent model run. Lest one ask the yellow bit blocks the atlantic from the blue bit.

    yep I think the end of November will see some snow in the North of Ireland and wintry showers over the rest.

    But I think December will start dry and frosty.

    Hope we get something even is it is cold frosty days but snow would be nice.

    Have 90% of my Christmas shopping done just in case we do get something but I doubt we will get a prolonged event.
