Fire to be lit.

Anyone about in Dublin for a pint?
I'm at the plaza hotel in Tallaght, Dublin tonight. Most likely in grumpy bar. He really great to meet a fellow netweather fan.

For many yes....... but some of us have seen very little or no snow this winter so one more go wouldn't be too much to ask?! (So far I've been too far south... too far West... too far north...etc!!!!)
Still time to be too Far East.

Funny old world this. I took last Monday off to build and redesign the back garden.
I fully hoped to be buried deep to the hinge end in snow by the weekend. As it turns out I have a few wee polystyrene balls out the back and a fermentation barrel with six inches of ice in it.
Im totally stoked for the guys in the firing line and I would happily have had a winter with no lying snow if it would break the forever persistent Dublin snow shield.
as it turns out its had its back door well and truly smashed in. ?
Im actually enjoying the cold spell anyway. Tomorrow I'm going to spend the entire day outside working in the garden. With that in mind if anyone wants to try and remember the colour (dare is say this evil word) GREEN; give me a shout and I will bombard you with photos of my back yard with greater intensity than a North Korean cyber attack on the NHS.
I have to say I've totally enjoyed this entire rollercoaster. The air outside has been colder than I can ever remember. Including 2010 cold snap which had day time temps less than minus 8 and more. The air was a clear as a bell.
im not without envy and equal worry for those under the hammer. (Got a friend in Germany who calls this weather the Russian hammer).
anyway I've lots of mead In The snow starved ballyclare so if you get bored or just fancy a few, come and give me a hand to build my new garden.

I realise that may have come across as dig but I'm glad you took it in the way it was intended.

Ok. Couple more days of this and I’m ready for spring. Been good last few days so can’t complain but I’m now looking forward to something resembling warmth. ?
Can't complain? There's a first!
Indeed an historic day. ??

Powder stuff being blown everywhere, the south got buried by the looks of it. Not sure if I want to be in the middle of such madness or not!!
In a warm house with its own power supply, an open fire, good company and a nice bottle of something distilled.
that would be ok.

Stunningly beautiful weather all the same. Enjoy what you get folks. May be a while before this happens again.
I'd love to be in Dublin about now.

just below ballyclare and nothing here, very disappointing.
Yup. Left ballyclare for coleraine and started getting snowy about Ballymoney. Nothing much but anything is more than ballyclare this morning.
Mot complaining mind! As much as I love snow I'm totally enjoying the bitter cold air mass we are under. It's beautiful weather.

What's the craic with this dude. Dedication to the job.

Snow to the north of me
Snow to the south
Here I am stuck in the middle with nought!

Pulling out an old quote here.
"Don't wait for it to happen.
Don't even want it to happen.
Just sit back and watch what does happen."
Name that film?

Right folks. I've spent the whole day outside making raised beds.
Beautiful day outside.
odd wee polystyrene shower and there is still a wee bit on the grass.
Thought I was losing the plot as I'd see a wee polystyrene ball come by for a few hours and not see another for 15 mins or so.
Cold.

I have to say I'm totally into this one.
Who cares if I'm buried in it.
( I really do but the wider sentiment requires objectivity )
this looks set to be a bitterly cold experience.
Good luck!

I don't read the mod thread.
i can't be ar@ed with the nonsense that goes on from mostly grown men and women.

I've got a 40 pint barrel of home made mead in the garage. Also about to put 40 pints of strawberry and pear cider into a barrel. There is a sofa in the garage and a small gas heater so if you're going to get snowed in that's the place to be!
good luck folks. I always like this but as we watch for what is about to happen. What will we get? It's winter weather and I'm more than happy with that regardless of snowfall amounts.

Me too.
i took apart my dads shed and kept all timber to make raised beds.
Based on the now proven theory that putting your hand brake on at red lights turns them green I'll be starting on the raised beds tomorrow.
We should see snow fairly soon after.

All looking so good too.
just goes to show how difficult it is to predict this type of weather in such a temperate little island on the edge of an ocean.
at least Ronan is getting his fix. He will be baying for spring on his return.

Hey Watcher! Long time and all that jazz.

I confirm. We have contact. I think today could be interesting.
-
By radar and out the window things are about to get interesting.

To be fair im in the east and have done very well this year. Equally so some in the west haven't.
Its just luck of the draw. Enjoy what you get folks and if today's new t your day then based on how this winter has been going so far...
your day will come!

Well said Sparky!
Lets not have the snowflake mentality on the inside of the room as well as outside.
I'll be honest guys this room has become minus craic for me for a while. Its weather! There are trends we can follow and signs in nature we can read. We can hedge our bets and call ourselves winners either way but it will be what it will be.
I for one am enjoying the transition to something different. Shake things up a bit.
