Very happy I'm not in Australia. Places reaching over 50 degrees.. and the fires look crazy

Hi, I bought half a dozen long johns before Christmas and I am so comfortable in them now ....they are just the thing in this weather

hmm, I see when i come in,,it starts with,, Dublin airport is closed,, and then omly to see its from 2010, a new tread surley?

It's freezing.

Snow is forecasted over the next 24 hours.

There's been some up the mountains already.

Ironically global warming may be the cause. The rise in sea levels causes the Gulf Steam to stop or change direction, which results in lower temperatures. It also allows Fox News to claim Global Warming is a myth.

I don't think snow in Dublin is so unusual we need to bring climate change into it.

Is it just going to be in Dublin?

How come every time it rains / snows / is windy it has to be global warming that's behind it? It's like it's a massive surprise that there might be a slight smattering of snow.

There is a weather warning for the whole country but mostly for the leinster region.

Welders in Leinster are girding their loins and pumping their equipment in anticipation of the hordes of brass monkeys expected to queue,balls in hand,at their doors over the next few days,those in Birr are preparing to be inundated.

It's a brazen act they'll be wanting, not a welder.

Cork last night

The traffic this morning is MENTAL. I'm on a bus that has taken an hour and a half to move about 8km.

The pictures by shaggy above, shows Blackpool in Cork city. It's a notorious blackspot, for flooding and all the works over the years. Still hasn't solved the problem?

You should have got up earlier.

My bus flew in.
