I remember it causing arguments in 2010! Wasn't there a split into two threads and then lots of people were bickering so it was made into 1 thread again,was kind of funny

Yeah something like that happened alright. All I know is people were complaining that their posts were getting lost in this thread, so I pointed someone to the other thread and now I'm a selfish fecker or something :rolleyes: oh and a baby!

Read my posts above before you jump to any conclusions. It's the west that's been doing all the complaining, not us!

You can all chat in here if you want, I don't mind at all!

I dunno if its just me but cant wait for this cold spell to end it's miserable life, the truth is none of us have seen anything worth while unless your on high ground or living in Cavan:). We've all got neck strain, tired eyes and blood pressure after a week of staring at rain, chasing dandruff sized snow flakes that melt on impact. Temperatures have been too high, even if it snows it just melts, nothing is sticking anywhere as the showers are so light, except up in the mountains or overnight on low ground. The next 6 days everything is up in the air with no threat of anything decent as day time temperatures will always be just above 1C so once it falls it melts. Even in the UK it doesnt look that serious, nothing like the 2009/2010 snow falls, just the UK media blowing the snow out of proportion. Im not saying 'game over' for the winter but I think we've wasted enough time for now on this one and hopefully something more serious that will actually deliver proper beefy snow streamers for the East will arrive over the next few weeks with sub zero temperatures keeping what falls on the ground.

Cold here in the south-east heard of possible snow heading towards us for tomorrow morning. Also saw sky news weather which confirms some sort of snow.

Looks like showers will pick up for the east after midnight and early tomorrow.

Downgrades the precip in the southwest like HIRLAM did. Nothin is ever easy in Ireland!

Apart from the Dublin/Wicklow mountains and the mountains of Donegal, Ireland has a horrible mucky climate which I myself detest. Also south-west England and most of Northern England and western Scotland join that club. Summers are s..t and winters are dank and dire. Most of the time the weather is miserable and snowless except on high ground. What a difference a few hundred metres make.....winter wonderland to dire depression...and it is as marked as that....feet of white stuff in Dublin mountains (only 250/300 metres) to sleet, grauple and drizzle elsewhere.

My wife lived for two years in Exeter...never saw snow once although a few flakes fell in the past few days...rugby match went ahead....south-west england has a horrible wet climate also.

Best climate in Europe???


France.

Sun, Snow, fab food, wine, brilliant films, stunning women, massive country, great culture, highest mountains in Europe, best skiing, and only 70 million living there...room for one more???

3 hours.

howlinwolf

that system out to the west has just about stalled,i cannot see it making across to the eastern half of the country and if it does manage to creep across it will be fairly minimal ... maybe some very light snow:(...seems im just in the wrong place this time,ahh well theres always next time;)

fontenoy7

I cannot see any snow in the south or anywhere else for that matter bar a few showers in the east

Yup, that's my reading of it too. Showers don't look as organized as they did on the 9z but more intense maybe? Quite similar anyway.
