ninebeanrows

Please use this thread for cold spell discussion particular to these provinces.

Just heard the later night radio forecast with David Rogers, he said the snow showers should begin in Ulster and Connacht during the afternoon on Thursday.

Guess Connacht is too small to have its own thread :P or maybe its because of a lack of posters from Ulster
None the less this should be a good thread!

It's because Connacht and Ulster it is where all the action will be Pangea.

It would be a nightmare for all the snowless-wonders lusting after our snow if they had to keep going to two different threads to keep track of the action.

Harps

Hopefully the weather forum will be somewhat readable now with Dublin getting its own thread! Inevitably the place will become a mess again over the weekend but this should keep some level of order at least

From what I can tell, Thursday wont be too bad for us. The rain will turn to snow but shouldnt really stick until later in the evening. We did quite well from the last spell but after all the build up I'm hoping for something memorable this weekend

If half of what could happen happens the I would guess. No chance. Walked past the ground yesterday morning and the paths were deadly even then. Most games are called off on public health and safety fears these days.

Right lads,

I'm back online at last....let the fun & games begin!:D

I just peeked into the other threads... and I actaully felt really sorry for them :pac:

It's bad enough that we live in the best part of the country, get the best weather and are better looking that them, without rubbing it in by them having their own threads.

I know, I know I'm a childish fecker

You should.

That sounds like a good plan!

I did the cam thing last year using Ustream and it worked well ... Well except for the fact that our snow shield kept firm the whole day.

Donegal County Council low on salt resources

Donegal County Councils salt levels are currently low, but they say they are trying to manage as best they can.

The gritter lorries will be out on the Countys roads tonight and over the next number of days as another cold snap is set to hit the NorthWest again.

Senior Engineer with Donegal County Council, Vincent Lynn, says this is the most prolonged winter weather he has experienced.
