March 2010 

 

Mount Juliet, Co. Kilkenny on the 5th March. Two months earlier and temperatures were at -16.3° C here. (The coldest temperature recorded in Ireland since 1979). Brilliant sunshine shines down on the almost brown grassland. While the days were pleasant (up to 10 ° C) - the nights were still bitterly cold. Coupled with no rainfall has meant no grass growth. 

February 2010 

 

Early February and the snowdrops first start to appear. Usually they would appear in January, but this year February has continued where January left off with plenty of night frosts. At least though we have not seen the very low temperatures seen earlier and it has been reasonably dry. 

January 2010

Ice "skating" at the Nore Linear Park on Jan 4th. The cold spell which began in late December, continued well into January. With nightime temperatures of -5 to -11 degrees C and no thaw, ponds had frozen over to such a degree that they could sustain the weight of an adult. It ended up the coldest month since January 1963. Total precipitation was 71mm which was only 83% of the norm. The max snow depth (5cm) was recorded on Sunday the 10th.
