Ireland Regional Weather Discussion

[ronan]

Oh i know it was! Lol. They didn't even blink an eye at it! 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

If it's not a certain south East region in a certain part of England we know it doesn't count lads, I note talk of a "potential" easterly,  pfftt and nah says I!!!!

Technical question for those in the know, I have finally got Bt broadband in but the upload download speeds are quite terrible also the range isn't fantastic.  Does anyone in here have a broadband signal extender/booster if so would you recommend buying one and what type? 

[somofagun]

Get away from BT Pom. I was with them for years and eventually changed to Vodafone for half the price and an increase in speed. The amount of money that BT is lifting every month from the public they should be able to run a new fibre line to every house in the country the bastards.

Cheers somofagun, does Vodafone not use the Bt line network to provide their broadband through (I haven't a clue about these things) 

[somofagun]

Yes they do but for some reason my speed went up. I think it is something to do with the allocated units back in the cabinets. With less costumers there is more broadband width available to each user.

 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Cheers Somofagun, going to look into that!

The long search for the white stuff continues, the prospects for any snow this month look unlikely.

Out of all the main models ops para control runs i would settle for the GFS para at least there is a chance for snow in the lead up to xmas cold air digging South on the jet the next frame would show snow for us and heavy at that.

Beats anticyclone weather with grey skies as far as i can see this high is not going to sit nice for us out west.

That would be imense. Probably a three or four day blizzard right through Christmas.

We can but dream.

A wee bit of eye candy on the 18z just in time for Xmas. Probably all change tomorrow again but lets wait and see.

I'm immensely bored with the Weather. If there is no snow possible I'd love a couple of Windstorms but nada. No flooding so that's the only positive

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

It is a bit boring to be fair Abyss, at least the oil will be saved over the next couple of days!

I just came in to post about this!! Went to the shop there a walk in my t-shirt. Lol. Surely 16 degrees has to be a record for December?

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

It's obscene and wrong is what it is!!

Finner in Donegal and Phoenix Park  broke their December records today.

The all island record for Ireland in December  is 17.1 at Dublin Airport in December 1948.

Pretty Depressing for a front loaded cold half of Winter

I still think we have a chance for snow for xmas, get rid of these heights to the south east, Atlantic ridge seems to be poping up around 18th lets get these heights to the south east drain into the Atlantic ridge to reinforce the Atlantic block then look to the north as the pv seem,s to want to migrate to siberia in latter frames causing another vortex split.

All these people in that wee corner of the world that want this high to stay put in the south east can wish all they want but it ain't helping our winter prospects lower the heights in europe and you have a far better chance of something cold & SNOWY going forward.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Agree totally Boofer, amazing how many people are saying today around here that this mild weather is just not right 

[Abyss]

Yeah Winter far from over. Ridiculous to think otherwise I just think its childish frustration which leads to those end of the world posts but the weather looks very very boring for the foreseeable so we'll just have to suck it up for a week or two and see how it looks then. Personally if we are to get a severe cold spell I'd like to see it in January as I've witnessed a couple in December, the evenings are a bit longer and its the coldest month.
