Winter 20/21 - General Discussion

circadian · 08-01-2021 2:33pm

Beautiful clear and calm day here in D9. Still frozen in the shade and barely getting above 1-2 degrees in the sunshine. Some of the roads and paths around here are dangerous as they're quite sheltered but had a lovely wee jaunt out earlier.

Absolutely, a January like this is not to be sniffed at these days considering how mild our winters are these days and a warming climate. The lake beside me is partially frozen over and with a few severe frosts anticipated over the next few nights, it will only further freeze over. Haven't seen a cold spell like this since March 2013.

Still plenty of shaded snow to keep it wintry looking for another day or so. It won't be a spell we'll remember particularly, it was seasonal, cold, quite sunny with a light snowfall at the end. Onwards. But I don't know when the next cold one will be.

Something of a cool down forecast for parts of eastern Europe next week. Temp forecast for Moscow:

0.4c here in meath at the minute, still plenty of frozen snow in the garden as it gets no sun in the winter, thanks to the hedge

-1.8c now, bird feeders like dublin airport in july

Artane2002 · 08-01-2021 5:42pm

the frost managed to survive all day in sheltered parts and even on exposed north-facing surfaces (like roofs). the MÉ forecast for the Airport is oddly showing a -3c max tomorrow but that forecast is usually miles off.

well this is a first. My bins outside will not open, they are frozen solid and will need boiling water to lift the lid. Same with the car doors.

daniel_t1409 · 08-01-2021 5:45pm

A very cold but sunny day here, frost never melted and still there now. I think there was also a slight dusting of snow as well. What I like the most is the sunshine and the blue skies, particuarly this year because of the almost constant cloud from June-September.

Only downside is the house is very cold.

Kermit.de.frog · 08-01-2021 6:25pm

Current reports from main stations.

Kermit.de.frog · 08-01-2021 6:44pm

Reckon we'll hit a sub -10c somewhere...even if it might be missed by an official station

Dazler97 · 08-01-2021 7:34pm

I couldn't post here for the last week as I forgot my password, but there is still snow here in Carrick on Shannon, temperatures are to get down to - 7 here so here's hoping, it's currently - 2.8

-3.3°c in Kildare now

piplip87 · 08-01-2021 8:12pm

Lough Ramor is frozen solid, not walking out to an island with a bag of can ala 2010 frozen. It was dark when I got down this evening but will take a few snaps in the morning .

Kermit.de.frog · 08-01-2021 8:13pm

-5c at Casement

-3c at Dublin Airport

Surely both will be posting their record lows of the season so far overnight

Some drop in temps there!

Temp was plummeting earlier for me (in Dublin 16) but is now stuck at -1.8c for the last while.
