on the way to work this morning from Hollywood to Tallaght on N81 the car temperature was solid -5 most of the time, that was an hour ago,not bad and snow is holding on nicely with more drifts in place around hills near Brittas, perfect blue sky to compliment the continental cold, what a way to conclude astronomical winter and my last one in Ireland. I will have plenty of frost scraping ones in Slovakia next year

What a stunningly gorgeous day now. I've loved the last few days and seeing a return of snow. Thanks to all the wonderful posters here for explaining and discussing all the weather events the last few weeks.

Not sure where to post this;




Dear Friends,



The Irish Meteorological Society is pleased to announce an exciting Conference on the theme of hurricanes and windstorms that affect Ireland. The Conference will take place in the RDS (Hall 7, Concert Hall) on Friday, 13th of April from 18.00 to 20.30.



With Hurricane Ophelia still fresh in the mind, and with the recent experience of Storm Emma, it is clear to us all that severe weather events such as windstorms can have a huge impact on our lives. The ability to forecast such events and to have some indications of future trends in frequency and intensity, is vital. The success of Met Éireann in forecasting the events over the last year gives confidence that Ireland is on the right track to achieve that goal.



Under the title "The Wind that Shakes the Island", the Conference will focus on the challenges of forecasting significant events (with Hurricane Ophelia as the prime example}. It will feature speakers such as Evelyn Cusack and Liz Walsh, both key members of the Met Éireann forecast team that dealt so well with the major events. International cooperation is a vital feature of meteorological forecasting and this will be represented in the Conference by our guest speaker, Dr. Mike Brennan of the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. A research element will be included in the final programme.



The Conference will be held in cooperation with Met Éireann and with the kind assistance of the RDS.



To register for what promises to be a very exciting and attractive event, please visit the RDS website at:

a peach of a day here, if it was slightly warmer i'd be almost tempted to wheel the BBQ out for the first time since late October...... hopefully we will get a few pleasantly warm blue sky days during April.
