Snow in Limerick

Mc Love · 18-01-2009 2:26am #1

Yep, this morning there was a brief snow storm! Took pics, will prob put them up later!

Was a heavy fall!

RINO87 · 18-01-2009 6:21am

yeah, had a period of about ten minutes to throw some snowballs, then it rained on it!

Mc Love · 18-01-2009 6:43am

Then it snowed some more

Still some snow on my car

source · 18-01-2009 7:21am

all i saw was hail stones this morning.that was at 05:50

Berty · 18-01-2009 9:52am

It was snowing at 9:00pm in Newport and this morning the car is covered with only small remnant of snow. On the 1st March last year this is what my car looked like,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,march nearly spring for gods sake.

I hope we get something like this again. Bear in mind Im at the bottom of the silvermines and next to a cold river.

ahhhh,can i ask why???

Berty · 18-01-2009 10:06am

Who doesnt like having snow around at least once a year? Its nice to look at and provides much fun in work car parks where people car where they think the whites lines are and when they finish work their cars are all over the place.

Boo - urns to you if you dont like snow.

DylanS09 · 18-01-2009 10:12am

Yep there was a good bit of snow in newport last night at about 11 0'clock!!
Hope we get some more today!!

talkingclock · 18-01-2009 10:36am

That's last January.

Ah grove Island. I remember that when it was only a sports building and a few fields. How that truck ever managed to crash into it I will never know.

Limerick Dude · 18-01-2009 11:03am

Really heavy snow fall last night in Dublin, lasted a good hour!

Slightly off topic, when i was running the connemara marathon last april.. the 6th of april, it snowed... it also rained, hailstones and i still finished with sunburn on my forehead!!!!!
Plenty of time this year for snow...

I was up around keeper hill this morning .. looks like there is lots of snow from lower down but when you het up there it isn' much..

Insect Overlord · 18-01-2009 8:35pm

I've been led to believe that there may be more snow tonight, or at least sleet tomorrow. Which spoils my cycling plans, to say the least!

Mc Love · 18-01-2009 10:05pm

Here are the pics i took earlier this morning

Mc Love · 19-01-2009 5:37am

Its sleeting again

I can see my office from there.

Mc Love · 19-01-2009 7:53am

Are you in your office now?

Jumpy · 19-01-2009 8:05am

We got snow, yay. Only 20 mins of it, but still... yay.

RonMexico · 19-01-2009 9:20am

My garden looks like Rick James has passed through with a leaking bale of coke:pac:

I am now actually. Not in the unikids obviously, the next one down. Had a small bit more in the way of flurries.

billy the squid · 19-01-2009 2:30pm

It fairly hammered down with snow at about 1030 hrs If it snows now in the city there is a fairly good chance it will stick as it has dried up a little.

Insect Overlord · 19-01-2009 2:44pm

There's rain falling in Caherdavin at the moment, but I can see it turning into snow as the evening goes on.

Limerick City thread with a heading of "Snow in Limerick" and you post a picture of snow in Newport, pity there isn't a thread on Tipperary, oh sorry there is.

TripleAce · 19-01-2009 4:53pm

It has changed now....very warm and sunny at the moment!!! Anybody knows where can I buy suncream?

@Pshan

People from areas surrounding Limerick have posted here since the days when there was no county forums, Limerick City was the only subforum in the Midwest Region. For this reason I tend to be flexible when it comes to people posting from areas near Limerick City. Who posts on the forum or where they post from is not for you to decide.

@An File

knock it off, either discuss the topic or don't post.

It was wet in the city all day long so I don't know where you got the idea that it would stay on the ground.

Mc Love · 19-01-2009 7:22pm

Wasnt I happy when it starting lashing down with sleet when i was going for a run! Firstly i thought my hands would fall off, then my other outer extremites!!! Scary moment

talkingclock · 19-01-2009 7:47pm

OMFG! Snow! Three snowflakes! Chaos! Panic! Terror! Road carnage!Terrible amounts of snow today! People afraid to leave their homes. Parents not letting their Children outside!

City came to a standstill:

Peoples Park:

Spoiler

I hope people will get the subtle irony behind this post!

Mc Love · 02-02-2009 11:40pm

We are still waiting on the snow, reports from the weather forum is, we will have some by thursday!

Insect Overlord · 03-02-2009 1:41am

A few flakes fell on Monday morning, and it's already frozen over now, so snow tomorrow would not be a great surprise.

RINO87 · 03-02-2009 5:29am

there was a nice thin layer of snow there for the last few hours, syuck for a while, but it rained on it, AGAIN!!!

anyhow, if we do get the much promised blizzard are there and good hills around for sliding down with nothing seperating you from the ground but a fertilizer bag?? i may be 22, but theres no way i'm beyond doing that!

Mc Love · 03-02-2009 3:25pm

Its really heavy now!!!

Jumpy · 03-02-2009 3:31pm

aaaaand it stops

Mc Love · 03-02-2009 3:34pm

nope still going here!

Aidric · 03-02-2009 9:26pm

There was a flurry there for the last half hour but it's not going to stick because as usual in Limerick the ground is wet underneath.

i went snowboarding down the side of the canal bank in ardnacrusha/clonlara the last time it snowed heavy..

we also built a toboggan and took it down a steep road that was closed due to ice.

Mc Love · 03-02-2009 10:48pm

Yeah was snowing pretty heavy around 9-10!! Was great! Love driving in it

zuroph · 03-02-2009 10:52pm

go i hope it buckets overnight and sticks. otherwise i've to go to waterford for 3 days work.

Mc Love · 03-02-2009 10:54pm

I hear that zuroph! I really do hope it sticks!!

zuroph · 03-02-2009 11:56pm

lightly falling at the moment..

Mc Love · 04-02-2009 12:02am

nowt on the southside

source · 08-02-2009 6:30am

our friend jack frost has returned, and this time left some of the magic white stuff called snow on the ground, was coming home from work at 6 and there were some drunk people out making snowmen on the shannon bridge roundabout

fair play to them

highlydebased · 08-02-2009 10:23am

Must have been at least 3 inches where I am this morning-amazing...

bazz26 · 08-02-2009 1:07pm

Not a flake out my way and I'm only about 10 miles from the city.

Insect Overlord · 08-02-2009 7:28pm

One side of the Gaelic Grounds pitch required considerable work to clear away snow, making sure the hurling could go ahead today. Good thing they put in the effort!

Mc Love · 03-03-2009 11:52pm

Just outside and its snowing pretty good, nowt sticking yet to the ground, although the grass is covered and pretty much every other surface!

zuroph · 03-03-2009 11:53pm

started sticking to the road outside my house about a hlaf hour ago, its now fully white! if this keeps going, no work tomorrow!

:D:D

sioda · 03-03-2009 11:54pm

Sticking now but its stopping

Mc Love · 03-03-2009 11:54pm
