[yodabenitez]

It's an ill wind...think of all the poor sods studying for the 'summer' & what a benefit it is for them...of course I mean us me being one of them...oh dear he's rambling again....

[Alex Raisbeck]

Roll on the good times.

[redabbey]

The weather was perfect yesterday for a great day of sea fishing off Mullaghmore, Co. Sligo. 10 of us chartered a boat for the day. We were out from 9:30 to 5:30. We must of caught at least 400 fish. My deep freeze was full last night. The cost was €65 each for boat rods and bait. Every muscle in my body ached today but it was well worth it now I am just about to watch yesterday's game.

[denashpot]

Last year was the same! Balls!

[travis]

It seems that the guy I posted on above, Ken Ring, got it mostly right for June, July and August - see below

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/maverick-forecaster-ken-was-right-as-rain-1867623.html

The good news is that he predicts that "September will be the warmest and most summery month for all, with the best of summer weather being between 6 and 17 for the whole country."

[Axel96]

Looks like it could be a wet weekend, Flood warning in place:

http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/1105/flooding.html

There are fears that flooding may occur in both the east and west of the country over the weekend because of high tides and storm force winds.

Flood alerts have been issued in Dublin and Galway, while emergency services are being put on standby in Waterford.

Motorists and property owners have been warned that the situation is likely to be at its most serious on Sunday and Monday.


Met Éireann says an active weather system is heading for the Irish coast.

It says the system will move across the country on Sunday night and Monday with the potential for some severe gales or storm force winds.

AA Roadwatch has advised motorists to slow down and be aware that cross winds may cause hazardous conditions.

Due to the potential for heavy rain coupled with high tides, there is also a risk of flooding along all coasts.

Dublin City Council has also issued a flooding notice for the capital warning about winds of up to 100km/h.

Temporary defences against rising waters are being erected.

The Council says local road closures may also be required and these will be identified as the high winds near the coast.

It says car parks on the seafront at Clontarf and Sandymount will be closed from Sunday until Monday evening and motorists have been advised not to park their cars in these areas.

Shop owners in low lying areas of Galway city have been busy through out the morning putting sand bags and other flood defences in place around their premises.

The city council has warned that the first risk of flooding will occur at high tide at 4pm.

Council workers have been distributing sandbags and putting barriers in place in the area between the Spanish Arch and the Claddagh.

[MrsPepe]

[GaryMc]

[Dub13]

Met Eireann have issued a weather warning for east cost tonight, saying Dublin could get 10-20cm of snow, which would kill the city basically. Interesting to see if it actually happens or not. Last time they gave type of warning it turned to rain and started the thaw. Not convinced that will happen this time thoguh.

[padski08]

In January, Dublin buses were forced to stop alot of services. There were traffic problems all over Dublin. I personally know of two incidents where it took 1 friend 4 hours to get home from town to Blanch and lad in work left Glasnevin at 4.30pm and got home at 9.30pm due to traffic

Same could easily happen again

[byrnetred]

Fresh snow will make it alot easier walking around, The city was a nightmare yesterday

[jonnylpfc]

I am sure after all the chaos last year, the department of transport will be well prepared.... oh wait didn't they say earlier in the year, it was a once in 40 year event, so they are well prepared for 2050. Over the weekend there was no gritting in a lot of the country because there was/is no overtime available. Yet more incompetance by the shower of absolute of gobshites running this country.

Work in Blackrock and live at the bottom of Brewery Road.

Funnyily enough yesterday I was coming from a bit of dinner in the Orchard when these squad of about 6 young young lads were walking by with snowballs. They fired a few at the car, so I slammed on the breaks, spun around and drove after them. Gave them a bit of chase away, Myself and the woman were busting ourselves laughing:D:D They could fairly move even in slippy conditions:)

[Raven136]

Thurday night and Friday was door work and fcuking cold.Sunday night was static security and then clearing snow and salting the place.**** me its cold in Kildare.Coming across the Curragh at 6 am and it was reading -8.

To have only 20% of the roads gritted or salted is criminal.

[Paddser]

The boss rings to see how the roads are. I say I'm staying in Meath cos they're lethal(fishtailing all over the road, in a line of traffic doing 30'kph, stopped for 10 mis cos a pick up got stranded sideways across the road etc etc)

He kinda groans and says he thinks "they're making a mountain out of a mole hill"' :rolleyes:

At rush hour 5.30pm in Sandyford is always mental busy. Yesterday, getting to my car at 5.30, Ive never seen such little traffic in the estate - it was like a saturday afternoon - there was noone on my route (heading from Sandyford Renault/Opel - towards the Beacon to take a left onto the M50).

Everyone must have legged it at lunch time. Worked out handy for me, I got all my work done and I literally flew home all the way.

Dont know what all the fuss was about ;)

I came onto the M50 at bray and it was much better today than yesterday mate. Yesterday coming up towards Cherrywood you could see the snow/ice stuck to the road and the tyre marke to stay within (know what I mean?) today it was all sludge on the side of the road.

Yesterday driving down from Sandyford on the M50 was grand, it was like a normal wet day on the M50 ... not slippy at all.

Nope mate - I head in the back of leopardstown race course and past microsoft - I have a deal with the Dunnes carpark for 2.50 a day so I do the same route as you id say?

The roads were all a-ok today, bar the leopardstown exit/side road yesterday, it was great fun tough - you know the road Im on about - has ramps every 100 yards? I was in the wife's car ... there was no cars on that strech of road, by chance, around at 8am so I was pulling hand breakers all over the place - great craic!!

[eoinlfc101]

[vodkacolly]

Driving home at 12.30 from CityWest to Sandyford last night wasn't fun. Car slid across the road as soon as I came out of the car park and even on the M50 the back end was sliding around a bit.

Not having a go at you Glen but is it any wonder this country is fcuked when the defence forces are been sent home because its too cold:eek:

[Ron1892]

Drove into wexford town today..i live in the country and the 3 mile route to the main road was as scary as ****..the main roads are perfrct though..

If you had a snow plough you'd be a millionaire over the past few days..

I dont know about the weather mate but if your staying - grab a room at the Stillorgan Park - stones throw from your work and they do a nice pint of guinness too. N11 gritted all the way to Cabinettly!!

Or better still - head to the horse and hound, get your dinner and a skin full of pints - walk across the road, start lashing snow balls at the garda station and when they come out - deck the garda - you'll have a free room for the night PLUS you're only, what, 200, 300 yards from work in the morning .... happy days!

[Bren100]

thats the same route i take,. may give it a bash in the morning, should be fun,.

Today wasnt as much fun cos it wasnt as slippy and there were cars around so I wouldnt take the piss ... but it was deadly, in both sences of the term, yesterday :)
