Great series of shots, and you got lighting etc. spot on...

Trogdor · 16-12-2006 12:04am

Went up the wicklow mountains to see if any aurora were about and found myself emersed in the mountains common winter wonderland state:D

. Here's some pictures:

Talk about your hazerdous driving conditions!! We encountered freezing fog, aswell as slushy roads

Some pictures of the sky, no aurora, just urban glow, although there probably will be later, but iv'e got to be up very early :mad:

A meteor shooting across the sky.

As always fantastic snaps Trogdor.Was it just a slight covering up there?

Trogdor · 16-12-2006 12:30am

It was around 2 to 3 inches i'd say but it didn't strech down from the sally gap much. I couldn't see where exactly it was deepest or how extensive it was because of the freezing fog and darkness but most of it seemed to be around kippure/sally gap area

Great pics and a nice snap of the meteor

Good stuff.
Theres a nice covering on croghan mt near me, this evening,it was snowing down to about 1500ft this afternoon.

Some great views today, here's a few attempts at trying to capture them
Firstly the sunsets, the first was last night and second and third are tonight, the fog made the sun appear very odd.

And then the fog

And some wildlife, they only seem to come out in the fog:P

P.S. sorry about all the pictures this page must be impossible to load for anyone without bb with all my pics clogging it up:(

Hal1 · 20-12-2006 10:03pm

Nice pics again Trogdor

. Regarding the pics sizes they are fine for me but not all users would agree. This site runs on phpbb and Im aware of a plugin that runs on phpbb which allows users to reduce image sizes down to thumbnail sizes, but Im not sure that its been implemented here. Maybe you could mentioned this in feedback to see if a mod can mention it to an admin.

Snowbie · 20-12-2006 10:25pm

Like the snap of the VP2,had to get that one in didnt you:D

If your concerned with the amount of bandwidth your pics are taking up on a page,try uploading them each as an attachment in "Go Advance".Otherwise keep posting them pics.

Trogdor · 29-12-2006 1:23am

Not pictures but i thought i'd post them here, a few videos i made with my new editing software which i got for chrimbo:D
A video of the storm on the 3 of December and another of timelapse convection i also redid my salzburg video and embedded them all in webpages which took some work but it was worth it

Takeshi_Kovacs · 20-01-2007 12:28am

Just had a quick gander at your site. Some very good shots there, i especially like the shot of the thunderstorm (taken from the winegates..)

Also the old photos are good show of what it was like when we actually got decent falls of snow..

Cool pics!! I was living in Greystones at the time. I must ask my parents if they have any photos - I'm nearly sure they do.

Ok, here are a few pictures of a snow day, the pics were taken here in Carlow town, but I cant put a year on them, taking into account the age of my little bro and the fact we had a car I'd guess it was either jan/feb 1995, or perhaps jan/feb '96. Do any of those times ring any bells as regards snow? I know the snow lasted for a couple of days, fell on a Friday night/early hours of a Saturday morning, and was still about the following day.

Anyhoo, the pics (apologies to those on dial up, I couldnt attach the files)

Snow on our car

In the park, while over there there was a thunder shower of snow! The heaviest shower of snow I have ever seen, it was mad!

Up on a hill during that heavy shower. We rolled a massive ball of snow over in the park too, but I cant find any pics of it, darn!

Me and my little bro, unfortunately for both of us, this was the last half decent snowman we ever made.........so far

nacho libre · 20-01-2007 6:32pm

Great shots! It reminds me of playing in the snow with my brothers too.Ah great times:)
Thanks for uploading the photos.

Trogdor · 21-01-2007 5:45pm

I can confirm that it's snowing on Kippure:D:D. WAsn't actually much snow around the sally gap so we decided to take a walk into the cloud on Kippure after about 5 minutes we were into blizzard conditions but it was little snow grains which really stung. my thermometre was reading -9C:eek: :eek: but that was probably windchill. We walked right to the top and on the way back down it really started to get going, couldn't see more than about 10 metres in front of you and it was starting to drift. Have a few pictures but not many will post in a while, video soon aswell:D.

In seapoint court, by the harbour:)
EDIT: here they are

And as conditions continued to worsen

Trogdor · 22-01-2007 5:53am

4:00am hail cover.

Hal1 · 22-01-2007 6:09am

This snowfall seems to be boomeranging around dublin missing us altogether, maybe that will change:(. Nice pics though would like to see a vid as I cant see myself driving up to kippure in my humble 1ltr.

SpitfireIV · 22-01-2007 9:09am

Seems to have stopped now....:( darn! Ah well, wasnt expecting that, so it was nice, anyhoo, a quick pic....

CrowdedHouse · 22-01-2007 9:20am

Still snow here

From the landing window :

nacho libre · 22-01-2007 1:47pm

Awesome pictures Trogdor! Can i go with you up the mountains next time?;)

arctictree · 22-01-2007 8:21pm

Some pics from the blizzard at 8am this morning. Pics aren't great but you get the idea! I think the temp was 0.7 and the wind was howling. Had to fix part of the shed roof and my hands were frozen!!

Here's the video

Didn't get quite as good footage as i thought i had and the battery died before we reached the top but anyway.

28-01-2007 1:18pm

Good stuff-you have similar taste in music to Bren

Thats not a blizzard though, the visibility is too good.It's just a blustery snow shower by the looks of things.

You know those pics of Bray you posted on your site from the 80's? They were the result of a blizzard!
Imagine what it was like on that road to Kippure when it was like that down at sea level in Bray

Yeh, not a blizzard there, but as i said the battery died before we got to the top and it really got going:( . I can only imagine what it would have been like on the kippure road in 82 or 87. Did the meltwaters ever cause alot of trouble after the really snowy spells?

28-01-2007 2:22pm

not really as far as I can remember.

You probably saw my attached photos in the wintry precip thread also taken last week on croghan mt.

The drifts up there in '82 were to the tree tops ie 35 to 40 ft.I know the road to Kippure was completely blocked for over 2 weeks! so you wouldnt have got up there without a chopper.
