OMG SNOW

Just went to take a look out before bed and wow. SNOW!




Spot the cat!




You know, if this keeps up, I might genuinely be snowed in by the morning!

ETA am indeed sort of snowed it. If I was on 2 legs I could have made it out (if the trains were running) but as it is, I am staying put. Apparently quite a few others who ARE able-legged didn't make it to work either!



Not terribly scenic as they're either from the back door or the front door, which didn't allow much of a range ;p




Dude, where's my car?


Very Unimpressed Cat


ANd this is how it looks now (well, about an hour ago)





Still unsure about getting to Dublin this afternoon, but if it does rain as promised, it should be ok. Alternative is driving down tomorrow morning, but don't fancy facing early morning ice either. Hmm.

Hurrah for being snowed in!

I want snow too, but all we get here is rain, rain and more rain :(

I think I have EVERYONE'S snow !

It is very pretty! I've never seen so much snow here! On the downside I am very wary of venturing out into it, in case of slipping

Heh stupid camera phone ;p I have photos with proper camera too, will post in a bit when I find the usb lead. Tho, all from the back door as I am not going out in it!

Also, WEATHERNERD, it's neary midday and it hasn't really started to melt. Is it going to go at all?

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-01-04 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
I am playing safe, and despite the extreme temptation of a pristine snow covered lawn to jump on, am staying firmly indoors!

And is that your excuse for ABANDONING me?! *sobs in a lonley manner*

I was in bed where it is WARM

[identity profile] thesme-01.livejournal.com 2008-01-04 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
It is.You will have to wait for the warm front to cross. You can track warm front progress by looking at the radar:

http://www.met.ie/latest/rainfall_radar.asp

The rain = where the warm front is. As the front approaches it will snow, then sleet, then rain. Temps in front of the front are below freezing, behind it are up to 9C. Mad, eh? Temps in Dublin have risen to 1C from -2C and will continue to rise.

There is a risk of Rapid Cyclongenesis due to the presence of such steep temperature gradients, but this will result in high winds rather than snow etc so shouldn't impede driving tonight. However WEATHERNERD services are currently monitoring the potential for RACY to see how high winds will get.

Thanking Vous.

Aha, it has started to snow again now, so perhaps it is advancing as we speak!

RACY eh? sound like fun ;p

Also, I have seen your Lobsterhorror. Poor Mr Pinchy :/

If RACY does take place, my wee drive to Coleraine will be Interesting.

Maybe you should leave it til sunday? Am waiting for the weather forecast to come on, but the windowcleaner guy has cleared the drive and car of snow at least, so travelling later is still possible!

It's Saturday or no day - busy busy on Sunday.

Aaawwwhhh, snow! Where is our snow :S
I miss snow! It's pretty with snow. We have had a very snowless winter this year and it is just not right!

*green with envy*
