A thread for posting interesting (or pretty) weather related pictures.

Anything you might have taken yourself would be cool or pictures you've found on the modern interweb that you liked.

Blurb to accompany it would be nice but optional.

I am looking to get a nice print for my new living room. I have found some nice ones on art.com but their postage rates are a rip off if you're outside of the US. Anyone know of any sites where you can get good pictures, specifically of lightening.

Thanks

19-08-2003 12:30pm

Yeah I came across a few the other day.
i'll have a look in my history.

One was a private site but with a commercial section and some excelent lightning photo's.
Will p.m when I find it.

the last three arent working.

mike65 · 09-09-2003 5:37pm

Strange...I can see them.

Mike.

The cloud shots loaded fast as {pun...pun...} lightning thanks to i stream but I can't see the last three either

Is it possible mike, your browser is going direct to your pc for the last three??

pity me likes lightning as long as i'm not on the receiving end.
Thankfully the tree that go hit last year beside the house here is taller than the aeial so we heard the massive explosion and of course the lights went out , but the house is still standing.
Windows too quite a pounding tho :eek:

mm
p.s
Flew in a 747 out of Kuala Lumpor (sp) on the way to sydney in a massive Thunderstorm a few years ago.
Lots of fantastic cloud to cloud lightning as the plane bounced around:ninja:

me repeats... must organise a boards event to tornado alley in the states

Nope, geocities wont let you externally link to jpgs.

Try again squire!

DapperGent · 10-09-2003 10:39pm

If you copy the shortcuts and paste them into a browser window they should work.

eirebhoy · 27-12-2003 8:47pm

I think this is a superb photo.

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 10-01-2004 2:56pm

"Oh the weather outside is frightening"...
here in New York its currently 5 deg Farenheit!!!!!

Just a cool pic of the East River from my apartment (76th St.). Its so cold theres steam coming off the water. Never felt cold like it.

eirebhoy · 10-01-2004 5:16pm

Is there peope actually going for a swim outdoors in New York?

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 10-01-2004 5:29pm

I think the East River is the most polluted River on the East Coast, so notwithstanding the artic weather, you'd be taking your life in your hands!!

Its a very busy waterway as well- I think people though do swim up near Randalls Island, where the GAA are going to build their new stadium.

10-01-2004 5:45pm

Thats a great pic!

When the temps, go to -20 or below in celcius, the hairs on the inside of your nostrils actually freeze and go stiff.
The coldest I've experienced is about -24 c in livigno the ski resort in italy in 1999.
I remember we were drinking wine with our dinner at dusk in the beer garden and a film of ice appeared on top of the wine.

Anytime a door was opened too a gush of steam appeared out of nowhere.

With that kind of cold, the next big weather system that arrives is going to dump a lot of snow in new york, even if it is bringing milder air with it.

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 25-01-2004 5:30pm

Just a quick Update, we now have ice on the East River. Its 8 deg Farenheit as I write

Not much of a improvement and although the temps will go up this week theres snow predicted for Tuesday.

I laugh when I listen to the radio on the web and all the lightweights saying its cold in the motherland!! Well its Bone chilling here //me shudders//

Dublin mountains, from Killakee Road, last Friday am, with my new digital camera.

b20uvkft6m5xwg · 10-02-2004 6:37pm

Thats up near three rock mountain is it?

Used to go running up there. Its a great Lung Loosener!!

DMC · 10-02-2004 6:53pm

Tis, there is a car park behind me, also used for nocturnal activities of young people to test their shocks!

Three Rock is to the right of the picture, but not in view.

You can get to here from Rathfarnham, on the way to the Sally Gap in the Wicklow Mountains. You pass Kippure transmitter too. Nice route.

ando · 04-07-2004 2:03am

going through my old digital pics and found this one, taught it was good enough to post. I took the pic cause I felt the dark cloud cover gave an atmosphere to the area

at the back of the sugerloaf mountain looking close to the direction of 3rock

I see a head in the clouds in P3270318
:-)

mike65 · 18-08-2004 4:13pm

Yeah I can just see that, yesterday afternoon there were some spectacular columns of white fluffy clouds to the north west of Waterford, wish I'd had my camera to hand.

Do you watch Farscape ? Doesn't it look like "Pilot" ??

scallionman · 24-08-2004 12:24pm

Did you get rained on in Cork City yesterday (23/08/2004)? If so it was possibly this fellow shot at approx 13:15 yesterday from Mahon looking north west.

ando · 19-10-2004 11:54pm

this is the kinda cloud cover that I enjoy

mike65 · 20-10-2004 12:27pm

yeah nice pic, low heavy cloud which always looks great as the suns rays get "beneath" it.

Mike.

Villain · 28-02-2005 3:06pm

Just outside tullow during the big snow of 2005

ando · 15-05-2005 5:00pm

I was in Howth Harbour last week and saw a low cloud roll over the hill behind the harbour...

highdef · 16-05-2005 11:36am

Yeah, the amount of times it's foggy in Howth is astonishing due to its location sticking out into the Irish sea. Moist southerlies or southeasterlies readily condense and form some really thick fog once you get above about 300 feet. I reckon it's the foggiest location in Dublin.

Danno · 04-12-2005 3:40pm

Lovely photo from Durrow, County Laois by Peter Dunne.

Date: November 25th 2005

ando · 04-12-2005 8:08pm

very nice Danno

18-01-2006 8:02pm

This is central park at around lunch time on sunday.
My hands were freezing, it was 23f or -4 to -5 c or so and the wind was strong

Roughly 2 inches of snow there which was a big change for them as thursday was 17c!

Taken with a camera phone so apologies for the quality.
The crunch of snow under my feet was nice though
