any resident North Dublin natives know where I can get my hands on a load of blocks?

I don't mean a small bag from the local AppleGreen either...

Seagulls on the east coast are acting very strange. I wonder do they feel something coming.

Same out my way on the south east coast.....

The're too small. I reckon we'll need a fetch of at least 50 km to get showers properly going.

How about the shannon estuary ?

I noticed the seagulls too this morning!

Dropped my son off to school (which I do a couple of days each week) and the playing pitches were covered by seagulls. I can't remember seeing so many of them before!

Every time I pick up my iPad and open this page, I get that awful funny nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach and the above post very nearly started an anxiety attack!

Since we're on seagull watch between charts, the Brent geese flock went back out to Poolbeg before lunchtime today, they don't usually go until around this time in the afternoon...

Looks to be decent agreement across the models of what Monday might be like

Slight breeze and its not very warm out, hardly bitterly cold yet. Looking forward to some more dry days to help the pitches recover.

This GFS run is so snowy that if it came to pass it would probably tip us into economic recession.

I'd never have thought of water! Good thinking. I can't believe I forgot that as water was gone in my estate for a week or two in 2010.

Melt and boil the snow, of things get bad

Anyone point me to a good resource for learning more about interpretation of charts please ???
I've got the basics from O level Geography but would love to learn more...

More specifically being how you predict precipitation

Thanks in advance

Try in the useful weather links there was a post by su that showed how to read winter weather charts that is how I started, it is a sticky thread

The stock of portable snow shovels in Argos is beginning to diminish. Aint no sales assistants laughing now.

As an alternative, a cheap dustpan and brush is a great thing to have in the car, the brush takes loose snow off quickly and the pan is as good as a small shovel for dry snow. Couple of quid well spent.

O.K....

What you can do is start a new thread.

Once that thread is opened, I will close this thread immediately.

After the entire event has passed, I will merge threads.
