This is exactly wats wrong with this country attitudes like you!! theres a whole other country outside of Dublin

In fairness its not like the population of Dublin is 'making' RTE put the Dublin snow as the main news...no point complaining about it (I know it wasn't you, I mean the people who are) I'm sure if cork city got a foot of snow they would show similar.

Anyways, enough of all that. Its xmas...group hug :D

Snow prob blocking the signal

Yep same here, you have to clear the snow of the dish, I find the best way is to hit the dish with a small spud..... I've had to do this twice this evening already!!

The River Lee in cork had thin sheets of ice floating downstream today and down the estuary there are bigger sheets of ice forming in still water. Unreal! :eek:

Went to the door and snow was there.. I nodded at it, it nodded at me - it's only been 4 weeks in the area but feels like it's been here forever. Waiting for it to sign up for the local GAA team and take a seat on the parent's council in the local school. I might even see if it wants to join us for a few pints tomorrow.

Sound lad, Snow.

Usually a small tank that sits atop the main. Should be topped fully unless purposely drained.

Would it be tied into the tank directly in the attic? or does there definitely have to be another small tank?

just had the same problem mine wasnt in the tank in the attice there was an additional valve on the boiler in the hot press which allowed the rads to be filled
had to get a plumber in cause hadnt a clue that it didnt need a tank in the attic or sealed system what ever its called

Clear the snow off the dish....with a football as suggested earlier.


Dont know what to do about mother's noises....maybe turn up volume when signal is back????

A football can break the LMB bracket and then your in trouble (Know this the hard way), hitting the dish with a small spud is the best way.

look at that map! It's like we've left the underfloor heating on or something, ridiculous!! :mad: I'm sick of everyone going from loving the snow to moaning about it, and we've only gotten a splatter of flakes all event!!

Will have to wait till someone else gets home!? I can't get down the step(wheelchair user), and my mother isn't in the best of health, so going out in that kind of cold is not advisable for her.

Frank Bullitt

Anyone have the link for the Airport tower handy?

Slightly snowing here in D3, its nowhere near as bad as the stuff last week i think, the snow is quite thin when compressed, the last batch a few weeks ago was thicker.

Where did you hear this??

Saw the ice on the Lee myself as I was crossing over the footbridge on Pope Quay about 6 o'clock. There was less when I got back five minutes ago - which is strange.

Dublin 12 getting plastered again. Legend...wait for it................darrrrry!!

Supercell

Temperature on the rise here, snow melting on lamp posts well away from the light.

darkman2

Wind gusting here now. That will drive the temperature up more. A few miles inland should be ok though with the precip staying as snow.

Jimjay

Anyone know where o can get an accurate temperature for greystones? Any local station online? Ta

would they be showing that if dublin hadnt been affected. no bloody way

LookingFor

Still snowing here, but weaker at the moment vs before.

These temp rises some are reporting - why now? Seems strange temps would start to rise after dark when the setup in the irish sea appears to have been pretty much unchanged since early afternoon.

Mental Mickey

Sky is still bright red/pink here in Dublin 20. Reckon we're gonna get dumped on again shortly.......?

Rougies

All these reports of rain are deeply disturbing. Hopefully it;s temporary. Meanwhile it's still snowing in Knocklyon. 10 inches now.
