The Chicken Littles are out in force today. An aul wan in work came up to me there in sheer bewilderment that there would be snow on 1st March. She claimed if there was ever any doubt about global warming, there was none now. What could I say.

I had the misfortune of hearing Jennifer Zamperalli on 2FM earlier and said basically the same. That this was a serious wake up call on the effects of global warming.
This event really seems to have slipped under the radar.

You’ll get a pass on this occasion, but you may need to pull up your socks a wee bit.
A new study has found that the extreme rainfall over two days last October which caused widespread flooding in Midleton and other parts of east Cork, was over twice as likely to happen at current global temperatures compared to pre-industrial times, due to climate change.

It’s regrettable it was missed but there was some complex dynamics going on with the upper air flow.

Complex dynamics in the upper air, good man Brandon 
Ha, just read that 
Why? He works for Met Eireann
Snow in Limerick now. Wet as an Otters pocket though. No stick to it
Warming up in Dublin quickly. Big melt coming on.
A glorious sunny spring day

@Mac’s famous comprehension skills at play here.
Carnage on Mount Anville Road earlier as no less than 6 double decker Dublin Buses got stuck either going up or going down. Other cars trying to weave between them ran into trouble then too.
Ironically that road is usually full in the morning with mummies in large SUVs/4x4s dropping their daughters off to Mount Anville but these were mostly absent today. They clearly took a look at the 1-2 inches of snow and decided it was too risky for the Land Rover Discovery to handle.

Awaiting to hear in Ballymuns under soil heating is working

She must have been oblivious to the big snow of March 2018.
