    What way is the wind blowing ? If you look at http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ It seems to be mving over us rapid - Cant see how they intend getting till 12pm out of it.. Unless it swings SE and then that huge big long lenght of the band rather than the width has to move over us ...

    I hope and wish it won't snow. It's just gonna prolong this slushy shít on the roads. Would be grand if there was going to be the possibility of a few days of laying snow but with rain and rising temps forecasted. It's just gonna be a melt to deal with. I'm talking about Dublin in regards to this. Feck off snow.
    You have a point there, the Atlantic seems to be just teasing us before it makes its move in a day or two :mad:
    This is why 1982 is still so special after all these years because it didn't turn to slush immediately, instead we got over a week of what I can only describe as alpine weather!

    Its sliding North.

    You cant see the radar over Shannon.

    The front is wide and gonna stall slowly northwards only.

    N17 blocked at knock airport, truck turned over and blizzard conditions. Gardai recommend anyone going that way find another route.

    And apparently there is a special program tonight on TV3 at 8pm 'Frozen Ireland' about the recent weather and Ireland's ability to cope with it.

    Ballina update - Wet snow covering cars and roads now, 1-2 inches of slush on roads, Temp 1.0C, DP 0C...

    Have been checking radar every 30mins and nothing much over Ballina for past few hours, but we seem to be getting a steady moderate stream of precipitation...

    I'd be fairly certain it'll be referring to Ireland's lack of ability to cope with extreme weather conditions.

    The wicklow mountains seem to be sucking most of the precipitation
    out of this front.
