well here is someone that seems to dismiss it as a load of rubbish with a few facts too http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100802141559AArCPZ1 and sea temp around Ireland still warm for time of year http://www.met.ie/latest/buoy.asp

well the lasted met office update looks like many might see snow next week, with some getting lots esp in north and on hills anywere UK Outlook for Monday 15 Feb 2010 to Wednesday 24 Feb 2010: Initially on Monday (15th) outbreaks of rain, sleet and hill snow in the north look likely to spread southwards, reaching all but the far south by the end of the day. Thereafter it currently looks likely that conditions across the United Kingdom will be cold and unsettled with further outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow, some of which are likely to be heavy. As usual the hillier areas are most likely to experience the largest amounts of snow, although there is also a fair chance that many lower lying areas will have some fresh accumulations at times. During the second week there is a chance that the main snow risk area will move towards the northern parts of the country. It will be windy at times, especially in the north.

see the met office forecast for the rest of winter is out, seems very vague in detail, but at least average temps at best, so even if the models are showing slighty above average temps, met office say no ? Forecast for the remainder of Winter 2008/9 Temperature Mean temperatures are likely to be average or below average for the rest of winter over the UK. Rainfall Over the UK, precipitation for the rest of winter is most likely to be average, or below average. Forecasts are expressed as variations from 1971-2000 averages.

Belmullet in Co. Mayo gust over 103 mph, Dublin gust 71 mph so its wild alright

really wild here in Ireland now, gusting 77 kts in mayo and 54 kts in dublin, driving rain, trees down here in kildare, and electricity looks like it going to go down, lights flickering on and off for a while now, worse storm in a while, and worse day time storm in a few years, neighbours barnashed just blew over wow !
