The world we live is fecking crazy sometimes. :(:(

Those lot protesting in Copenhagen are tools! I'm delighted to see them getting a bit of hassle from the police. I do think we have to account in some way for global warming but I think these idiots are nutters and should be all sent home.

Snowing here now... off out for a look

Right I'm turning in for the night! Take care. Probably won't be on here much over the next few days as Christmas starts for me tomorrow! Happy Christmas to all and wishing you a great 2010 and lots of interesting weather events! Thanks for the fun and enjoyment and information throughout the year!

Right now, started oooh, about 30 seconds ago in Ballymun at least

Just a light dusting of snow here. You wouldn't get excited by it that's for sure. Another miss then, for this part of the world.

Some more certainty now as regards the weather over Christmas, it is going to be milder on Christmas Day and St Stephens day as the mild Atlantic wins the battle. It does not look like we'll see any major snowfall from the transition either which contradicts earlier models. But it can still change,though getting less likely too each passing day.

One thing though, before we get there, we are going to see some very sharp frosts and possibly a couple of 'ice' days for inland counties during this week.

Mc Love

Its going to be a very interesting drive home!

The ground froze and now there is a layer of snow on top.

paddybar

only a very light dusting here.off to work in the city now and dreading the drive.the roads looking deadly

You lucky ducker! All we have here is frost (just).

We do well with precip here. First bit of elevation on the west coast so it pretty much always rains.

On the plus side we've had decent enough snow with pretty much every event of the last 5 years.

Not too sure if it's been snowing in Waterford. Just went out to turn on the car and the whole thing is frozen over! Had to give the door a good pull just to get it open. The temperature sensor said -4C. I'm going to have to be very careful on the way home; I have a feeling driving in these conditions after an 11 hour night shift isn't the best way to start your week!

Light bit of snow in parts of Offaly last night, N52 was very bad in parts. M6 and M4 were grand though.

youngblood

Please take care and be safe.
Anyone who is driving please mind the roads-
Its too close to christmas.......

Morning all.Yeah the frost is unreal here in Waterford.it's like snow so thick. Temp is a ball breaking -4.9c

paddybar

1 and 3/4 hours to drive 37 miles.The back roads are covered in a sheet of ice but the main cork limerick road seems to have been treated.No sign of anything more than a light dusting between Doneraile and the city

Morning report from Celbridge, no snow, nothing... just a bad frost. Gutted, think the dream is over now!

"tis so.... can you imagine being outside in this?

All we each can do is all; I am upset re missing the sale as that was funds for the homeless; look no further than our own cities this week. There will be deaths here too..

Supporting the people who work with this is the best way of Christmas.
