Raining outside now, not particularly cold. Promised epic week of coldness a pipe dream.
Its still playing out exactly like the weather heads on boards predicted. Some sort of warn air will cause rain/sleet early in the night from the first bands followed by Siberan cold air behind it which will turn it all to snow and then Snowmaggedan

Every time we get any sort of cold snap, somebody somewhere comes up with analysis of how it is going to lead to blizzards. It normally doesn't pan out so dramatically. We had a bitter cold weekend, and some decent snowfall. That's all she wrote.

They have a good few heads on that forum who are usually very vocal in being pessimistic (predominantly also right) but everyone is talking things up this time round.
Wouldn't that apply to all aspects of your life if you believed this to be true ?

Yes but I can understand most things even if I don't like them, but I honestly dont know how such a incredibly boring game is so popular and why people cant discuss it without turning into spastics.
Just watched the Apprentice there. Jaysus, the boardroom confrontation was epic! Very entertaining. Yes, they all suck, the show is lol etc, etc - but that was solid TV.

Barcelona played close to godlike earlier.
But the whole Ronaldo thing tilts me. He was probably Madrid's best player, although there were all made to look like shit. IMO Ronaldo and Messi are miles in front of everyone else when it comes to attacking prowess.
Messi has played all his professional career at one club with most of the same players and hence will have a greater understanding, it's like telepathic. Ronaldo has switched clubs and leagues and yet he slotted in instantly at Madrid, continuing his ownage of football. What Ronaldo has done is arguably equally as impressive as Messi.
Ronaldo at Madrid: 54 games 51 goals. That's just ridiculous. I couldn't care if someone thinks he can't do it in the big games.
Roads in Dublin Lol bad, side ways driving FTW! just sent 8 lads out in bin trucks too, we not expecting to get alot done today with all the piss poor drivers around coupled with the compacted ice from the last couple of days on road! Also looks like very few roads were salted last night around dublin and more of the bus lines are disrupted other than those listed here
Update from one of the guys on the WF this morning.
Maps and soundings are showing deeper cold air rapidly moving across the Irish Sea and people should expect volatile conditions this morning, a wedge of milder air was pushed west by the stronger winds (the Irish Sea is after all 12 deg C) but the unstable nature of this situation at present will create highly volatile squall bands with hail and eventually snow at low elevations, while further inland it remains all snow with some hail mixed in -- but should stress that conditions may change rapidly especially for anyone contemplating travel, and you could run into very heavy squally precip anywhere in the eastern counties this morning. A lot of thunder and lightning is likely to develop also due to this highly unstable profile.

Are snow tires very expensive? Think they just switch over the tires to them around about now in all the colder countries and theres no problems after that.
I wondered this too, I would have thought sending drivers out in those conditions could be seen as negligence if anything happened to them ?

Snow tyres are unnecessary, as they are beyond useless on ice. Winter tyres however aren't too expensive, and perform excellently on ice/thin snow coverings we would have here. A lot of posters in the motors forum in the other place recommend them.

Whenever i hear Chopra on the radio i hear Daniel Plainview saying the words.
Id love to hear Ajai say "So, ladies and gentlemen... if I say I'm an oil man you will agree. You have a great chance here, but bear in mind, you can lose it all if you're not careful."
That would be ace.
Or a simple: I drinnnnk YOOOORREEE milllkshaaaaaaaake.
found this on the weather forum, interesting stuff, live ATC in dublin. Some plane requested priority due to low fuel and was refused! also, just heard a pilot being asked what the runway seemed to like to land on with Ice etc.. replied he had a few control issues and wouldnt like to have to be stopping in a hurry on it. one more to come in soon.
Can we gain access to it Die Hard 2 style?
X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
Because X doesn’t roll like that, because X can’t be pinned down!

This was a long time coming. The mans arrogance and selfishness were monumental.
Didn't bother his arse canvassing the last election, sent some 17year old girl around the doors instead.
*I'm only a blow in mind, but the locals do talk to me on occasion.

the least you can do is contribute your taxes you wretched ingrate, think how these men have suffered for their country

I think the closer you are to the coast the less snow people got. Pretty heavy dumpage here in Tallaght between 11-1 last night but it's been sleety/haily this morning.
fucking fruitcake, a blasphemy law in a 21st century European state
not to defend him, or the law, but he only made the law as there was a gap between the existing law and the constitution. What he should have done was a referendum to ammend the constitution, but instead he went the easier route and changed the law (which is in reality unworkable and will never be enforced).
Changing the law was the easier route as FF didn't want to piss off the religious.
