Very Mild for February

bodhrandude

This has to be one of the mildest winters in a while, Im keep expecting an assault of snow, hail and freezing temperatures, I actually want this to happen soon so that we can get over it and look forward to spring. I remember a newspaper headline in 2005 I think where it was snowing in May in Dublin.

There was snow in March 2006, night before Paddys Day when War of Attrition won the Cheltenham Gold Cup......I remember it well even though I was locked

Tis indeed. My dad told me there was snow in June in the 1950s when he was a child. The worst may be yet to come.

Title of the thread sounds like something a bulbous old woman would say to you on a bus to initiate conversation.

Which probably explains the raging horn I'm on....

Sure November was the mildest on record for over a hundred years or something :eek:

I keep expecting us to get snow. But knowing how Europe got it there and we didnt? dont think it will.

Sindri

Well OP, you got Irish people talking about the weather.

'Can' and 'Worms' come to mind. We'll never see the end of this thread.

Winter?

The weather can only be predicted reasonably 2 days in advance. I just want sunshine. I hate this darkness.

Shryke

Fierce mild.

Yeah and the whole of Europe has been thrust into sub zero temperatures for weeks, hundreds of people have died all over Europe from the freezing conditions and I can walk to the shop in my t shirt.
It be making no much sense to me tall at all.

it snowed on May 8th 1999, on my Brother's confirmation. There's some factomation for you.

There's no justice, after last year I got my extra warm woolies, my big furry coat, polar bear hunting kit, ice pick and snowshoes, and now those bastards in Europe are having all the fun.

This, this is like a ball-warm cup of tea. Its lukewarm. Its muddy and there are flies already. I don't like it. Let there be cooolddd! *makes whuffing noise*

whatsamsn

Dont know what you are on op.
Its bloody call out right now.

Yeah, but where?

I don't even know what the hell mild is. Mild is a weak curry as far as I'm concerned.

Weather wise... t'is a bit cold, but not cold enough for hard nipples.

I note that you posted this at 22.52 last night, when there was no sunshine and it was supposed to be dark.

You should have turned a light on, or zipped off to a different timezone.:P

It picked 1 March for simplicity's sake, choosing to slot the four seasons neatly into the 12 months... June, July and August are the summer months; September, October and November autumn, and so on.

Pif lazy journalism there, leaving us to figure out the rest. Just tell us dammit!

Were you not reading some sensationalist tabloid then? A snow shower does not count as sticky snow! Ireland has always had mild winters the vast majority of the time for the last century, the last 2 were indeed freakish.

Snow shower doesn't count! There has been no sticky snow in Dublin between 2001 and 2009.
