Coldest night in Ireland for 25 years

Post Reply New Topic

I just saw that is -8 Celsius here in Dublin and -11 Celsius (now -12 at 3 am UT) just outside the city, thus it is the coldest temperatures Dublin has experienced in the last 25 years. I was stuck in town after new years, all the buses were cancelled due to a sudden snow storm, I got a taxi home at 7am after sheltering in a café with friends.

Awesome photo.
And yet It's beauty hides the pain of the bitter cold.

It reminds me of this beautiful satellite photo I saw of Iceland. Absolutely covered in ice.

It's -14 here right now.

This just proves that "global warming" is true so hurry up and pay your carbon taxes to the new global government.

I was worried about the possibility of a changing climate until all these unusual weather events came along...

Global warming? WHAT global warming?!

Jayzus, Mary and Joseph! 'Tis enough to make a Leprechan's pee freeze in mid-air, it is!

Learn the difference between weather and climate.

A strong area of high pressure over Greenland caused by a very strong negative anomaly in the North Atlantic Oscillation let arctic air settle over Eastern North America and Europe.

Global Warming didn't cancel winter.

This dies not disprove global warming. Its unusually mild over the mid-Atlantic and eastern Europe, while its cold over western Europe. The averaged temperature of the northern hemisphere is the same, just the cold and warm have move to different places. The cold is over western Europe at the moment. Global warming is real.

It was a joke, why so serious?

Lets see -11° C is around 12° F , a typical January night here in Pennsylvania. I guess it is kind of
rough if you are not prepared for it or accustomed to it.

It's a bit cold here too. Which is lucky as I'm not going anywhere at this moment in time.

begorra, cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey (which actually refers to cannon balls on a wooden sailing ship, in case you were wondering...

Hot summers and cold winters. Hmm, weather patterns seem to be exaggerated by global climate change. There are two ways to change that:

Either we revert back to the past where we live by our own resources...

Or that we find solutions to solve our imminent problems in carbon and water vapor.

And I prefer the second solution.

so, everyone still believe in Global Warming, right?

Sorry to hear of the cold temperatues. Huddle up, grab some nice wood-burning stove & get ready to chop till you drop. The worst is not over for the season.

Get used to it Pacific decadal oscillation is in it's cold phase, Atlantic multidecadal oscillation looks like it's going into a cold phase, and the North Atlantic oscillation is low and possibly going negative as well; so this could last for decades.
