Mr Benevolent

Anyone notice the sky in Dublin today? Not a single cloud. Very unusual, and very beautiful. Perfect visibility too.

Cold and cloudy. But no snow.

dm09

-3.3c ATM , Calm, Clear Skies

highdef

Just jumped from 1.7 to 2c. Thats at about 15m above ground level, however. Despite the relatively high temps, there has been frost visible on the tarmac since about 6pm so the ground really is frozen solid.

Snowbie

Clear, cold and frosty.
-0.9C
Wind Calm.

Snowbie

Stalled at -1.5C

I get the impression that i'm talking to myself.:eek:
Just because the rest of you are above 0C doesn't mean you don't have to post:D

My Ice continues:P

0.0c here Snowbie, but that is so trivial compared to recent nights I didn't think it was worth talking about.

My hosting provider is a bit sick at the moment, so I can't see how low it is :mad:

Aha your ice melts, my ice grows

-1.2C

can't sleep:(

highdef

Can't sleep here either - Bad case of genetically inherited insomnia since the weekend - +0.8c here. so you're 2c warmer than me, and I'm normally the colder one!!! Moving back home to Baldoyle at the end of the month so out temps should be similar then, although in this case I'll be nearer the sea and at slightly lower elevation so I'll probably be warmer than you!!!

highdef

2.1c here now. Funnily enough, just up the road and within site of my apt, it's about 5c lower than me at -3c!!! Casement is +3c. With such huge variations in temperatures over such short distances, you'd expect some sort of convection. I know humidity is very high and all that but I am less than 2km from the airport terminal building and yet temps are apparently about 5c different!!! Maybe me being 15m height above ground level is making a difference. As I mentioned earlier, the tarmac at ground level (obviously at ground level!) has been covered in frost since about 6pm so maybe there is an inversion going on with the very light winds......interesting....what do you think, Snowbie???

DOCARCH

+1.3c here now (with cloud) after dropping to -2.4c overnight.

After a very sleepless night, i will do my best to answer. A S'ly wind blowing some maritime air over where you are i'd say. The AP was still experiencing radiating cooling so was i and it was dead calm here.
The station in Howth was also getting high temps too last night due to the S'ly wind there blowing in from Dublin bay.

Meanwhile temp shooting up here 2.6C and cloudy

DOCARCH

2.9c now.....bye bye cold weather! Please come back soon!

Snowbie

We got drizzle here

4.4C

-0.7c here and very heavy frost

Supercell

Bah, drizzle, all visible frost gone , ground of course rock hard, assume the roads are totally lethal with drizzle on top of frozen tarmac - not a healthy mixture.
Currently an academic 3.2°C.
I wanted one last morning of lovely frost , boo!!

sirpsycho

was just about to say that about the roads Snowbie. i was driving in this morning on backroads that have been fine the last few days. this morning is a different story, I was afriad to use the brakes at all!

rhonin

Very frosty. - 0.9C

mike65

Mild (relatively speaking) overcast and damp on the ground.
