NOAA – 1913 Low Min Records Broken (272 tied) From 2015-02-19 to 2015-02-25 - https://sunshinehours.wordpress.com/2015/02/28/noaa-1913-low-min-records-broken-272-tied-from-2015-02-19-to-2015-02-25/

The eastern half of the United States has been trapped in a deep freeze for most of February 2015. Hundreds (maybe thousands) of records have been set for daily low temperatures, and wave after wave of ice and snowstorms have hit the region. The coldest days of the year usually occur in January, yet February 2015 has been exceptional in many places.

Several satellites captured views of the frozen landscape from above, observing saltwater sea ice in East Coast harbors and freshwater ice in the Great Lakes and other inland waterways. Snow and ice have blanketed land surfaces from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean, from the Carolinas to Maine.

I think you just need a decent jumper, a good jacket, some thermals and good thick hiking socks and you'll become just like the rest of us!

Come back in about 2 months :P A lot of us like sun and heat too as well as cold and snow, but it's only the beginning of March!

In the meantime you could try this thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057291023

A big snow lover here. It wasn't a great winter for me but miles better than last year where as far as I remember there was no snow.
This winter I got a full day of lying snow and blizzard like snow. I took a day off and spent it outside, walking and hiking.

Yesterday I woke up to lying snow and went for an early morning walk to enjoy the snow and take pictures.
About 1.5 hours later all the snow had gone because of soaring temperatures
It was amazing really how fields of snow were cleared so quickly.

It's probably the last of winter so I suppose we will have to wait til November for anymore of the good stuff.

surely there has to be more people who love mild maritime winters and warm dry summers?

I'll take the warm dry summers - you can keep the mild maritime winters!

Looks like we may be in for another sloppy sleety snow mess.

Clear sunny and windy 16.6C - hard to imagine there could be "wintry showers" tonight. I do not believe it :rolleyes:

there is a large drift of snow on the eastern face of galtyymore,
it's the usual spot that's sheltered from the sun.
will get a photo if it's clear tomorrow

100 inches of snow in ONE day in central Italy of all places. Boston had 107 inches for the whole season so far in comparison.

I think I'll hang around for a bit longer, I'll turn off the lights and lock up as I'll probably be the last one to leave.

Here in Southern Poland.....After nearly 3 months of lying snow, Spring broke out last week and we had a massive thaw with temps up to 18c. Yesterday the Easterly arrived and now we are back to snow. About 10 cm overnight and still snowing hard. Not over cold though, currently -1. I wouldn't be surprised to see the south east UK get some snow out of this by Saturday. 850 temps are quite cold, -8 so lots of potential.

Looks like ill get another few weeks of skiing in yet! The young lad is well chuffed!

Be sure to double check the door and the upstairs window.

I think it's time to bow out myself, I say there'll be sNOw more snow to hit Ireland until possibly towards the end of 2015. I'm not overly concerned about snow across Europe, just makes me jealous! This thread has had a good run this time around.

I look forward to seeing this thread getting created again in August and watching people complain about it's too early to tell if we get snow and watching people ask what are the chances of snow this winter, over and over and over

The snow on Galtymore provided lots of entertainment for me this year. Nothing like frolicking around in 3 foot drifts!
Thanks for the updates blackbird!
