Big Freeze Discussion / Heavy snow & Blizzards continue - 02/12/2010

I'll kick this one off this morning :) Blanchardstown packed with snow. The IOM shadow is still lurking. PS: Tomorrow could be interesting too if what Met Eireann say may happen - westerly systems hitting cold air.

What's the record for Ireland ?.

The lowest air temperature was -19.1°C measured at Markree Castle, Co. Sligo on 16th January 1881 while the lowest observed 20th century air temperature was -18.8°C recorded at Lullymore, Co. Kildare on 2nd January 1979. The lowest observed grass minimum temperature was -19.6°C at Dublin (Glasnevin) on 12th January 1982 which was almost matched by the -19.5°C measured at Lullymore, Co. Kildare on 2nd January 1979.

We've a bit to go yet!

-10 to -11 on m4 between maynooth & kilcock

We're talking Tipp/KK here : I find it hard to believe that it's -12 in KK when it's only -5 here in Thurles.

Thats all.

I am in Offaly and it is brutal cold outside. I am near the stove and went out to put out the bins. It stopped me in my tracks. I have to dress up, hats, gloves and all for a two minute job.

Just wondering if much snow is expected for the midlands. I have to drive to dublin tomorrow weather permitting.

if the snow keeps up, it might be time to make a massive snow cock covering the whole of the countryside.

maybe we could rope the brits into doing it as well and make a giant snow cock coming from the EU taking Ireland from behind?

You'll be grand, if your driving just be forward anticipating and be aware of the road conditions at all times. If a passenger enjoy the ride;)

I've no choice but to drive to Dublin either later today or Saturday so must remember to heed my own advice:D
