The Weather Thread

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

People struggling to get out of the Powers carpark. Tallaght is at a standstill.

theres some snow after falling in the sunny south east the last few days. The roads around here on Monday were fairly ok, gritted and drivable. But now, fooking hell, disaster. I aint leaving here till flano has told all this snow to fook off.

and also the castlemartyr and garryvoe area, i plan to get very drunk there thursday friday and saturday.

If you meet Turenne punch him in the face for me.

is that his patch? ya no problem, as long as legendary internet hardman kev, isn’t around to back him up.

I have a takeaway ordered (Mrs Rock made the call for me) so fingers crossed the deliveryman can navigate the streets of Fingal safely. I’m fucking ravenous.

Sensible call rocko. What did you go for?

I’ve opted for a quarter pounder with cheese and a chips with garlic, cheese and bacon. Any minute now.

UCD is shut all tomorrow and I’d imagine Friday too, which is the last day of term. And I was actually planning to attend my final lectures.

Heavy snow up in the north east again this morning and now.

Limerick must be the only county in Ireland that hasn’t seen any snow (bar a very brief flurry on Tuesday)

South Leitrim has had very little as well by all accounts. The last was a slight shower on Saturday night I believe.

North Leitrim (massey’s area) got it bad though I think.

It’s another incredible day here on the Limerick Riviera. I was crossing the road earlier and the sun was so strong in my eyes i didn’t see an oncoming car and was lucky to come out of it with my life intact. I have seen fellas outside in t-shirts.*

*Neither of these two incidents are lies nor exaggerations…

I can confirm that the sun is indeed shining bright and temps are pleasant. Not quite t-shirt weather but compared to what the rest are suffering, I think incredible is the right choice of word there from Dunph.

It actually warm outside down in the very south west here today, I can’t believe the difference. I was sent a few pics from Wexford of men digging their cars out of a few feet on snow. The bit of snow on top of the mountain has all but vanished.

Where is the very south west?

Near America.

:rolleyes:

America isn’t South.

Where is the very south west of Ireland?

Rear wheel drive German cars really struggling in this weather. BMW cars are particularly ridiculous. How can a car designed in Bavaria be so shit in the snow. Volvo really come into their own in the snow.
