Winter 20/21 - General Discussion

An Autumnal day to remember!

A crisp start with sunshine but just inland thick freezing fog.

An ice day at Dublin Airport, as rare enough event.

Really feels like a freezer out there tonight!

Must be the coldest dec day for many since dec 2010.

Very jealous, today was a nothingness overcast windless day in Galway. Better than Atlantic muck but would have loved an Ice Day!

So far I've not even seen a frost.

Although Met Éireann's app is telling me it'll get down to -1°c tonight and a max of 1°c tomorrow.

It's not snow, just an erroneous automated report that can occur in thick fog. Visibility there is currently 100 m.

From met.ie

yes, I noticed it was showing "moderate snow" earlier. this seems to be more of a problem in Finner than anywhere else from what I've noticed.

The freezing fog continues. Already -3 at several stations.

Beautiful sunrise this morning in North County Dublin then heavy fog from around 11 onwards. Nice sunrise...

Gorgeous photo!

everything frozen solid outside for 24 hours at this stage, currently -2C but feels more like -4 or -5C. Today was a proper winters day even if there wasn't any snow. No winters day over the past 2 years even come close to how cold and frozen today was.

It was pretty epic alright. Howth Head visible in fog and the top of the sugerloaf popping out in the distance...can see Howth here.

Could also hear the fog horns going. Not something heard in a while alright.

Danno

Quite foggy here, or perhaps misty - it feels like a fine drizzle hitting your face out there. Ice forming on the bare tree branches, looks cool!

Currently -1.1c in south Laois.

My God, it was absolutely beautiful but ****ing freezing out in North County Dublin today. I was working outside for a few hours today and could not wear gloves due to the nature of the work and I thought my hands were going to fall off they were so cold. Honestly, the coldest my hands have been in about 10 years, was actually painful trying to warm them up...

Billcarson

Went for a nice walk a short time ago. -3.2c here atm. Love going for a walk in this weather though my wife thinks I'm crazy lol. Well haven't had many nights like this in many recent winters,so I like to make the most of it.

TTLF

Today was truly an amazing experience. I got plenty of photos, I got to explore the foggy, white landscape and to top it all off, it was the first Ice day I've had since 2018 BFTE.

This day is going down in my weather history for sure

Currently -3 at the coast here in Meath, exceptionally low temperatures given the location.

Ridiculous quote from “Wexford weather†on Facebook. What do people like this get out of it?


**CAUTION! Watch out for freezing fog & very icy conditions overnight and into tomorrow**
On another note, the GFS evening run playing with a very dangerous setup - way to far out for any certainty but I do expect to see a similar anticyclone set up somewhere close by this season. If it set up as in this chart, all hell would break loose from the east.

What’s worse is people are buying into it and getting scared...

Donegal Storm

No ice day in Donegal but a stunning day without a cloud in the sky or a breath of wind all day, got out for a long walk in the hills and managed to get all the outdoor Christmas decorations sorted.

More of that please, would make our winters so much more bearable if days like today we're guaranteed even once every couple of weeks

icesnowfrost

Lovely crisp day and evening. I love it when the frost doesn’t melt from the night before. Cold out there now

Rock Lesnar

No frost, and no fog in my area of meath this morning, replaced by cloud and misty rain

Humberto Salazar

After fog all day yesterday, much clearer today in north Offaly, frosty, down to - 3 overnight.

Artane2002

raining in Dublin 5, the rain just always has to ruin the frost doesn't it?

DOCARCH

Some light rain in Dublin 16 has coated surfaces in ice! 0.6c atm. Overnight low of -3.2c.

zerosugarbuzz

Delighted the fog is gone this morning, no frost either.

Poxy rain this morning . Which led to some very icy footpaths. With a temperature of 1c and dp of -2c that would usually be cold enough for snow. I presume the wet bulb temp was above zero. I swear to christ I think Irish weather likes to take the piss out of winter lovers.
Most of the frost gone replaced by rain showers this morning. Never would have thought that last night.

Slashermcguirk

Very icy in north Dublin.

It's cold but only at the surface. Upper air temperatures are not not so cold, hence precip falling as rain into a freezing surface layer, freezing rain.

Donegal Storm

Another lovely crisp icy morning here, everything coated in white and a nice warm orange glow from the low sun
