The weather forecast just like The racing forecast – like having a bet, which anybody can do.
@Peter Coen: Your point?
@Anthony Edward Healy: gambling is good ?
@Peter Coen: have a read at what is required to enable weather forecasting.
@Peter Coen: nonsensical
@Peter Coen: Except it’s not. There are numerous variables that affects weather patterns for Ireland, hence why it is so changeable. Consider visiting windy.com, or using the app, to see how quickly the direction of weather fronts can change.
What a joke Met. Eireann can be at times. No snow apparently forecast on their App and yet it’s snowing here in Longford now (8am) and everywhere is snow covered. Joke !
@Chris Gavican: they are more frost in my freezer than they were giving in Tipperary
@Chris Gavican: ring joe he’d love to hear all about it from you
@Bitcoin Buddy: the sadder the better for Joe
@Chris Gavican: That probably wasn’t snow.
Avoid yellow snow. It may have been me…
I remember few days ago some discussion here over the first day of spring, I’d say we agree it is not February 1st
@aperally: it is Feb 1st
@Madra: I guess id depends on the country you are in, in Italy it’s the 21st of March which is close to March equinox (also known as spring equinox) , I was just saying so because February is one of the coldest months.
@aperally: Are you ok?
@David Corrigan: ok, I have posted the same reply twice, I know, there’s no option to delete a post.
@aperally: I was more concerned about the content of your posts.
@David Corrigan: in here Spring starts on 1st February, in Italy on 21st March, that’s a fact
@blue exile: I think that article just confirm what I have been saying. Now by convention/tradition I read that here is February 1st, that’s fine with me, I was just making a joke since it’s snowing, I didn’t mean to offend anybody, my apologies if I did. In Italy we learn it’s 21st March anyway.
There is more snow in my snow globe.

@Fabio Dillon: That literally made me laugh aloud
