SNAP???????????????????????????
Down here we have'nt had any snow for which I'm glad the relentless cold is not making me happy, though thankfully its bright and sunny most days which helps.
Whats bugging me is that there really seems to be no end in sight. Everytime I check the wetterzentrale site the cold stretches right as far as the charts dare look.
edit - I just checked, there is some hope that it'll be over in 10 days or so. But it could change again

I see you're in ramping mode:pac:

The likely scenario will be wet and windy muck with little sunshine. It'll make ground awful but roads will be ice free.....a lot of ice to cross inder bridge in mean time though0 -

Well it obviously is something to do with it , Our cars cant cope on the roads in these conditons without bringing in grit, therefore our cars are not meant to be in the roads in the first place on this earth, I understand you and nice comparison with siberia but im trying to explain things in the greater view of the history of mankind!That has nothing to do with it, it's simply because in others counties, such as those in eastern Europe, they know they will get heavy snow falls for a long period every winter and are therefore prepared for it. Authorities have all the equipment required and ready and motorists have winter tyres and other equipment.
I'd like to see you go to a store in Siberia during an unusual heat wave and buy sun creams, paddling pools, buckets and spades and an ice cream cone.
Not really i have no idea what you are talking about.
Ah well, sometimes I see your posts and think of the words in "Alice"; YOU know, the ones about sneezing.
If you dont like the snow then why are you on a forum with so many snow enthusiasts during this coldspell , every minute the moderators constantly post charts hoping for snow, Log off and go somewhere else for god sake.I am quitting here because I cannot endure to read more of this.It is because of a post like this that I am quitting boards.
REALLY!
REALLY ??? We are Still waiting ..... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:0 -

What a rude young man you are!
REALLY!
Personal abuse now?
And are you a moderator now too? To order folk around?
Quite uncalled for.
Because I did not agree with you?
Blasphemous language too.
Now; does the "ignore" list button really work? Bye pangeal!Well it obviously is something to do with it , Our cars cant cope on the roads in these conditons without bringing in grit, therefore our cars are not meant to be in the roads in the first place on this earth, I understand you and nice comparison with siberia but im trying to explain things in the greater view of the history of mankind!

I LOVE this cold snap.
We have no choice in the weather we receive so we might as well embrace it. and enjoy it... it is Mother Nature in all her majestic glory.
When you consider it objectively the cold snap has many benefits:
1. We're not seeing the major flooding that mild and rainy weather could have brought to people already afflicted by recent floods.
2. It kills off the bugs (and rats) and is better for nature than the unseasonal mild winter cycle we have had for over a decade.
3. It kills off swine flu and prevents people intermingling as much - as they stay indoors - spreading it.
4. I can leave me beers outside without having to clog up my alrady well-stocked beer fridge... and in doing so save electricty.
Embrace the weather and respect it - as human beings have done for thousands of years - cause we can't change it.

Hey I was in Siberia the summer before last and they have temperatures up to 32 degrees. It was unbearably hot! Believe it or not. There are beaches around Lake Baikal and all the Russians go there sunbathing on their summer holidays
As for this cold spell - I don't mind snow or cold but the ice is the worst. I'm afraid to take my car or bike out. The pavements are all icy so I haven't done much walking or exercise and I feel crap after the over indulgence at Christmas - like its all just sitting on me and I can't do anything about it.
It was really sunny today in Dublin so hopefully tomorrow we'll be back to normal0 -

This "snap" turned into a "spell" at least 2 weeks ago and I'm wondering about changing "cold" to "freeze"
In fact I'm wondering is it getting too long to be a "spell"?Deep Easterly wrote: »So it is a "freeze spell" then?
Yes I am also wondering what to call this also. A freezing spell might be grammatically better than a freeze spell !!!!!:p Still doesn't sound right.
We should set up a poll - or nominations for ideas on what to call it.
I suggest 'The Bloody Annoying Cold Snap That Has Turned into a Spell and is Rapidly turning into a Very Long Freezing Three Going into Four Weeks'. A bit long though for a name:D 0 -

I was thinking about this earlier, while the lack of rain is welcome will it come back to bite us in the ass later this year? If this should persist for weeks to come when the Atlantic should be dumping lots of water on us then we get a decent summer* will we end up with shortages come the late summer/autumn?
* as payback for winter
If Ireland ends up with water shortages, I suggest the government give the Aussies a phone call and asks to borrow some. 0 -
