    Think your in the wrong thread ya should be in the summer one or start up your own spring thread for us snowbees to post in an say look at all that lovley snow

    There is no lovely snow for 'snowbees' throughout 90% of the republic of Ireland. I wanted to see snow as much as the next person, but the point of my post was that what occurred was mediocre, marginal and disappointing. What is left of this cold snap has no potential, it needs to be blasted away, allow a reload of something better in the narrowing window of remaining winter.

    For instance, even those promising echoes on the radar this morning are dissolving before hitting the coast, and by the look of dew points in the Irish sea they would not have given snow anyway.

    What is a real cold snowy spell? Can you remember them? The half effort to me is worse than none at all.

    All you have to do is read the last, say, 1000 posts! :D

    Nice clump moving into north Wicklow, hopefully head towards Dublin (and hopefully not fizzling out!).

    -2.1c DP -2.6c atm. Thank goodness it's calm/no onshore wind, at the surface at least.

    Take a look at that little wisp of activity off our east coast, and compare it to what is hitting NE England/Scotland at the moment.

    No joy and that cloud cover had probably taken away some of our cold pool necessary for these showers to turn!

    2ºC in Cork City and sunny now. It was pretty cold this morning at about 7am -2ºC where I am, clear and crispy with quite a lot of ice on the car as I think the air had been quite humid before the temperature dropped so there was a lot of dew.

    Doesn't look like there's any risk of snow though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭patneve2
