I can imagine a storm named Clare would be short in duration, intense in nature but disperses into a brilliant sunshine and double rainbow upon its completion.
Hey guys, I thought I'd do a few videos answering some of the most asked questions I get! Please give it a share if you like it, and consider supporting me on Patreon as it makes this all possible: patreon.com/clisare
I'm glad we're not the only ones that plunk our beers in the snow! It works!! Our biggest snow month in Colorado is March as well, heavy awful blizzards where we have to shovel the streets!
I’m a weather nerd, storm watcher, radar geek…..all of the above…..thank you for doing the research for the vlogs that you post! The info is awesome, and we can tell that you dive in all the way!!! 😊
Based on the photos, what you call "Heavy snowfall" I call "Tuesday." We got about 18 inches today (roughly half a meter). Also, yes, I'd love to see a video about Irish memes, weather-related or otherwise.
This is a great video, very insightful! Also, thanks so much for the captioning! It makes it much easier for Deaf and Hard of Hearing, like me, to understand!
The longest period of snow in Ireland was the winter of 2010-2011 That started end of Nov right into Jan. There was snow on the ground for a full 6 weeks in many parts. Where I lived in Cobh people just had to abandon cars as you weren't getting up any hills for days. Even walking to the shops was like a mountain trek. My dad in Wexford didn't see the grass for a full 6 weeks.
4:37 they always do that during hurricanes here in Florida, but the inflection in this ladies voice and the don't swim in the sea part sent me into hysterics.
How very interesting :) Weather knowledge is underrated I feel. I remember how I detested it when we had to learn about stuff like wind patterns and cold front and warm fronts and currents and all the stuff in school, thinking when in the world would I ever use this stupid knowledge. Turns out I do use it, and I wish I remember more of it xD
Yes, Irish memes please! Now I know why the weather was weird here yesterday. Idk if there's a scientific connection, but every time there is a storm in Ireland or the UK, the weather gets weird in Switzerland. Yesterday it was freezing cold but sunny at the same time.
Good video. I survived hurricane Harvey here on the Gulf coast of Texas. We had only a couple of cm of water inside or house. Some people in our neighborhood had as much as two meters (not a typo). The entire region was destroyed. Billions of dollars in damage.
Very cool-I like to learn about weather and this was informative. Growing up in Chicago we got blizzards which gave us snow days:) here in KC metro area-the weather can be cold and snowy one day but a few days later almost 70 degrees!
Great video - Loved it! Hurricanes have tropical properties in the storm which makes them a Hurricane. When they lose the tropical properties they lose the title hurricane and become just a major storm. That's most likely why hurricanes, by the time they get to Ireland, just carry the name and not title hurricane.
Interesting hearing about Ireland's weather. Never expected you to get tornadoes. I live in the States in Oklahoma, which is right in Tornado Alley. I sometimes chase after them in my truck. We rarely get much snow; it's usually ice storms we're plagued with. Love your content! ❤✌
It was gloriously sunny ☀️ & 85 today in coastal South Carolina. Our hurricanes are named in advance, too. Our worst storm where I live happened in September 1989. Hurricane 🌀 Hugo. I was 14 & home alone, as my mom was a nurse and required to be at the nursing home she was employed with. Our house shook something awful and the neighbor's roof flew over our house into Main Street. 🥺💔😱
Has anyone told the UK that Ireland isn't a part of their country? I'm not sure they know. There definitely needs to be a "Storm Millie" - to be applied to a long, soaking rainstorm that makes flowers grow.
Thank you for sharing this ❤️ I truly found this fascinating. When I was young I wanted to be a meteorologist. At the same time I would hide in the basement whenever we had tornado warnings 🤣😂 I'm in Colorado and yes, the weather can and has changed several times in a day. Irish memes...YES PLEASE 👏🤣🤣🤣
My first thought when I read the title, "Does it rain in Ireland?" Was I think I can come up with something better than just writing, "Does a bear crap in the woods?" Just like to mention the Irish have almost as many words for rain as the French have 17 words for surrender. The Irish might have 11 words for rain, but the Hawaii language has over 200 and Japanese have 50.
Interesting how you all do this. In the US, when we go through the list for a year, the storms take on Greek alphabet names. At least that is how they used to do it. Double checked and here is the scoop: If more storms occur in one season than there are names on the list, the newest storms have traditionally been named after the Greek alphabet (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc.). However, starting in 2021, this was no longer the case. Instead of the Greek alphabet, a list of supplemental names is used. Like names from the regular annual lists, supplemental names can be retired and replaced if the storms are deemed to be significantly impactful.
More memes, YES! I mean, you can revive ol' Frostbit Boy, that one was gas! I was in Dublin in January 2014. The only trip over when I wasn't in the West. Just as well, that was the storm where 4 families on the Loophead were cut off from land due to the storm, and photos from Lahinche showed the waves breaking on the sea wall, going higher than the 3-story houses across the street. Still loving the hair--not only the fringe, but there's less frizz, as well-Im totally envious!
So hype that my question made the video! Also, love to know that we aren't the only ones to feel that bread and milks are essential needs for combating bad weather
Come to Canada and experience a proper snow event. 40cm plus blowing wind at minus 25. Crazy but still go to work the next day for sure, maybe even that day
I'm from the midwest so I'm way to familiar with tornadoes. And I just moved back after having lived for 20 years in New Orleans and have dealt with my fair share of hurricanes. They suck.
So, which is worse, in your opinion, Jay? I'm from MI, 23 yrs in RI. Seems like the cleanup is worse with a hurricane, because of the water. But the tornados seem more deadly because there's no notice--you can just wake up in a tree
I remember when some of the Try Channel people went to Florida in the summer and were sweltering in the incredible heat and humidity. But I think they managed to miss the really violent weather there. It’s usually when the seasons are changing so around November and February/March. You can get huge immensely powerful storms, often with tornados. But even without them thunderstorms can feel like war zones with great big bolts of lightning, deep dark thunderclouds, and the bolts followed by thundering sounds like huge bombs going off. It’s exciting! 😆
Thank you for this. I found it really interesting. I never realized that other countries named storms. Other than hurricanes, naming storms seems to be a fairly recent thing in the US.
Very interesting stuff, it seems you all just had somewhat of a hurricane? We live in NC, and have had many hurricanes, hurricane HUGO tossed a tree on our house in 1989 a day after our sons first birthday, it was scary, and a terrible mess. I hate high winds. Glad someone let you all out of your glass box, and good to see Millie was inside safe and sound ♥️
I spent a year and a bit in Dublin from 07 to 08 and found the weather (at least in that year) was pretty much exactly what I was used to in Vancouver except a little less warm in summer, and a little less cold in winter. I don't know if it's quite as similar these days though, as Vancouver has been getting some stupid hot summers, and snow-y-er winters than we had when I was a kid in the 90s...
I'm American with Irish citizenship and I spent every summer in Galway when I was a kid. I remember once when I was about 11 standing on the beach near Salthill in August and it was like 50F and windy and raining. IN AUGUST. I live in Southern California now.
Tornados are pretty common here. Every few years we get a F4, mile wide tornadee that rips off the roofs and can crumple Oil tanks like wadded up paper. Those are the ones that send us into the “Fraidy Hole”. Grew up goin in to them at least once or twice during tornado season. They can be a viscous b*tch. Watched a few from behind the storm too. Something to see for sure.
I recently heard that here in America days off of school due to snow may be a thing of the past since we've all learned how to work and go to school from home. Thanks Covid.
Has there ever been a weather event like a storm named Clare? With Ireland being so green, I assumed you would get a lot of rain, just like in GB. I have been in a big storm. Decades ago during a CFL - Canadian Football League - game. I spent most of the game under the bleachers. I walked home in the rain because it was faster than waiting for public transit. My feeling is once you're wet (and cold), you're wet. I got home safely, and didn't even get a cold after. Here in Canada, during our football season, it is more likely to snow than rain. And yes, I've watched games in the snow. PS you remind me of former TRYer Diane Jennings. There is screen Diane/Clisare, and editor Diane/Clisare.
Suggestion: ask all of your subscribers, followers on all social media platforms and channels, patreons, etc to submit Millie for a storm name for next year. If you can get enough to do it, it could happen. I mean how many suggestions would it take to get picked, right? Sláinte! ~Be Blessed
The first time I went to Ireland was in February 2000 celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Being a native California girl I have to say that it was the coldest I have ever been in my life. We landed in Dublin and then went to Wexford to visit a priest friend Fr. Fintan. Had the most wonderful time but all the photos show us in our big coats. We visited Rock of Cashel, Waterford, Knock, Fr. Murphy Center, some of his parishioners homes and Dublin. I learned the meaning of “by Hook or by Crook”. Now my first husband and Fr. Fintan are in Heaven. Thanks for this info. Very interesting. God bless.
Completely unrelated but I thought you would appreciate this sentiment. Didn't know where to put it but Nothing cooler than All Black's Haka Vs. Ireland singing Fields of Athenry!!!
In my house the storms are named, "what did I do now?" (31+ years married. I apologize for everything. She's better looking than me and I'm a squatter on her dad's farm)
I've lived about half my life in Ireland but grew up in the US - Kansas, Long Island, Buffalo and Boston. The "snow storms" that closed down Ireland around 2010 and 2011 would just be described as "it snowed" in places like Buffalo. Personally, I find the Irish reactions to snow much better. I don't want to be out there dealing with snow and slush!
I have a nephew that moved to the Buffalo area from New Orleans a couple of years ago. He likes it there but says that "winters have been something of an adjustment."
Funny that the big snow storms come in March. I live near the Australian Alps (yes, we have Alps, yes, we get snow 🤣) and arguably our biggest natural snow events happen in September (our equivalent to your March). I wonder why 🤔
I could imagine a naming strategy for storms, after your bones, because they also break all the time ;-) (Ducks and runs for the door) I'd like to see that video about Irish Memes that you mentioned.
In fairness, as a dreaded Englishman, it's only reasonable that the Met Office and Met Eireann work together on naming, as so many of the storms that affect Ireland then affect the UK.
@@Clisare Storms are very personal. We get some really severe ones in the NE US. I name them all the time like; "Holy fauking sh", "what the fauk", "ummmmmm". When the leaves on the trees look like freshly shredded green basil it becomes personal :D
Until 2020, the US went to the Greek alphabet to name storms that exceeded the 21 name list. That happened twice in the last 20 years, 2005 and 2020. Now there's an alternate list. Something like 56 names have been retired from that list. And if any of thestorms are named after Tryers, Ciara and Dermot should be included, lol
For the longest time only hurricanes had names. I don't know maybe 10 years ago or so they started naming big snow storms, like only the big ones, like the ones that lasted for days and gees now they name just about every storm. I think it's kind of ridiculous because some of those disturbances are barely a storm. I think the weather people do it just for the attention.
We, Canadians, don't name our storms; we'd run out of Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters. "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes, it'll change". One year, the Canadian Army was called out for a blizzard in Ontario, an "ice storm" in Quebec, and spring flooding in Manitoba. They were beginning to call the Minister of Defense, the "Minister of Weather". In the spring of 1985, my cousin found a telephone in her back yard. A tornado had picked it up in Orangeville and dropped it in Barrie. The phone had travelled a distance of 87km. The Toronto Islands were created in 1853 by an April storm that severed a peninsula from the mainland with a 150m channel. Dublin Ontario is in "tornado alley".
Funny looking at those "heavy snow" pictures and realizing people over here in the US can get fired if they refuse to drive to work in that, even if the news says to stay home. And I wish I was joking. You're lucky if that'll even delay a school opening in my city in particular, and our transit _definitely_ runs in that sort of snow. Though I suppose it helps that our bigger trains have diesels on the line that can clear the snow for them and the other trains run so often that the tracks are never covered. Would _love_ to have that kind of snow again, though. Makes for the best photos downtown outside of blue hour.
Dia dhuit Clarissa. This is very much a hard question for you,and cuts to the bone. Right here we go, do you remember when you took the DNA test and hoping you had no trace of a certain country and you got what you wanted 👍. So I was adopted in the 60s and living in that place of lies and deceit and lived a lie for 48 years, but then when the adoptive parents (feisi) past I found my documents and birth certificate and changed it back to the proud Irish name I have today. The thing is that I've missed out of my culture my country and true religion etc. My story is too horrendous to post online. Its called cptsd. The name I have saved my life, I'm learning Gaelic and loving it as hard as it is to learn but your posts how to swear is fantastic and helpful. Thanks Clarissa
Charlie H The welsh wouldn't be impressed because welsh is strongest of the celtic languages and though its celtic its not one of the gaelic languages(more than one language)

The weather in Ireland is not natural anymore and is subject to weather modification.
So in other words someone is messing with our weather.
I can imagine a storm named Clare would be short in duration, intense in nature but disperses into a brilliant sunshine and double rainbow upon its completion.
Lolololololololol.
As a weather nerd, this was really cool to learn! Thank you!

We have a saying here in Northwestern America where the sun shines 30 days in one year. We don't tan, we rust.
Here in Newfoundland we Usually have one last big snowstorm in late March. we call it the Sheila's brush. Winter's last kick at the can.
Little wonder why'ld ya post here. The Irish and Newfoundland flags are almost identical eh' by'?
I love your eclectic mix of topics, I have learned a lot about Irish weather EPIC! All the best!
I'm glad we're not the only ones that plunk our beers in the snow! It works!! Our biggest snow month in Colorado is March as well, heavy awful blizzards where we have to shovel the streets!
I’m a weather nerd, storm watcher, radar geek…..all of the above…..thank you for doing the research for the vlogs that you post! The info is awesome, and we can tell that you dive in all the way!!! 😊
I'm lovin' the bangs! Great video! Entertaining and informative!
Love the irish memes! I looked up '5 eggs per bloke per day' after one of your vlogs, had a good laugh at that...
It’s only 5 😆 love that one
Should never doubt you can make something informative also hilarious. 😄
Yes we'd like a vid on Irish memes, that sounds perfect!
Based on the photos, what you call "Heavy snowfall" I call "Tuesday." We got about 18 inches today (roughly half a meter).
Also, yes, I'd love to see a video about Irish memes, weather-related or otherwise.
As always very interesting Clare!!!
This is a great video, very insightful!
Also, thanks so much for the captioning! It makes it much easier for Deaf and Hard of Hearing, like me, to understand!
A video on super famous Irish memes would make my 2022! 🤣👏🏻
The longest period of snow in Ireland was the winter of 2010-2011 That started end of Nov right into Jan. There was snow on the ground for a full 6 weeks in many parts. Where I lived in Cobh people just had to abandon cars as you weren't getting up any hills for days. Even walking to the shops was like a mountain trek. My dad in Wexford didn't see the grass for a full 6 weeks.
Clisare i love your hair and eyes! You’re awesome and your content here and shenanigans in the try channel is entertaining!
4:37 they always do that during hurricanes here in Florida, but the inflection in this ladies voice and the don't swim in the sea part sent me into hysterics.
Hi Clisare!
Enjoyed your video!
I remember in 2012, there was a storm/hurricane called "Superstorm Sandy."
I was not amused with the comparison.😐
How very interesting :) Weather knowledge is underrated I feel.

"When the Sun Comes Out in Ireland" Sounds like the title to an old pub song. 🎵

I would definitely like a video on super famous Irish (not part of the U.K.) memes!!!
I love the Yellow Rain warning.

We do milk, bread, and eggs whenever there is a big storm. Apparently, everyone makes french toast during a hurricane or blizzard
Yess yes please more memes!! Lvu dollface 🤗 still envy those lashes and the fringe/bangs are really cute 💖 Take care and stay safe☺️
Thank you so much 😭❤️
@@Clisare Welcome sweet girl 🤗
Clisare , you look great with your bangs !
Ireland: Gets 10 Tornadoes per year.
Texas: Gets 67 in a single day.
FYI €70 million is $79 million, by U.S. standards that’s not much - for example Hurricane Ike caused €34 BILLION worth of damage in just Houston Tx.
Ok but it’s not a competition 😆
Tornados are pretty common here. Every few years we get a F4, mile wide tornadee that rips off the roofs and can crumple Oil tanks like wadded up paper. Those are the ones that send us into the “Fraidy Hole”. Grew up goin in to them at least once or twice during tornado season. They can be a viscous b*tch. Watched a few from behind the storm too. Something to see for sure.
During the Month of March of 2001, Where I lived got 76 inches of snow. Hurricane Othella probably formed off the coast of Africa.
I recently heard that here in America days off of school due to snow may be a thing of the past since we've all learned how to work and go to school from home. Thanks Covid.
PLEASE DO AN IRISH MEME VIDEO!!!
Loved learning the word clem!
Has there ever been a weather event like a storm named Clare? With Ireland being so green, I assumed you would get a lot of rain, just like in GB.
I have been in a big storm. Decades ago during a CFL - Canadian Football League - game. I spent most of the game under the bleachers.

because it was faster than waiting for public transit.
My feeling is once you're wet
(and cold), you're wet. I got home safely, and didn't even get a cold after.
Here in Canada, during our football season, it is more likely to snow than rain. And yes, I've watched games in the snow.
PS you remind me of former TRYer Diane Jennings. There is screen Diane/Clisare, and editor Diane/Clisare.
We do get a decent amount of rain. I don’t know if there’s ever been a storm Clare, there hasn’t been in my lifetime anyway!
Suggestion: ask all of your subscribers, followers on all social media platforms and channels, patreons, etc to submit Millie for a storm name for next year. If you can get enough to do it, it could happen. I mean how many suggestions would it take to get picked, right? Sláinte! ~Be Blessed
Well, you do need your milk sandwiches after all. The people in the US love their milk sandwiches for hurricanes or snow storms or just a big wind.
All I ask is for good weather the first two weeks in April during our holiday in Ireland.
Storm Clisare, Beast from Alex, and Vortex Millie.
Yes more Irish storm memes, please, and Irish memes in general. 😆

I have a nephew that moved to the Buffalo area from New Orleans a couple of years ago. He likes it there but says that "winters have been something of an adjustment."
Fun Fact: They're all named after characters from the iconic Irish tv series Father Ted. The last one was Hurricane Dougal.
Lmao now you feel what animals in the Zoo feels! Lmao wait, wait how about fish in fish bowl! Lmao
Funny that the big snow storms come in March. I live near the Australian Alps (yes, we have Alps, yes, we get snow 🤣) and arguably our biggest natural snow events happen in September (our equivalent to your March). I wonder why 🤔
A trolly bay? Is that a shopping cart parking thingy at the market?
I could imagine a naming strategy for storms, after your bones, because they also break all the time ;-)
(Ducks and runs for the door)
I'd like to see that video about Irish Memes that you mentioned.
I’ve said before I don’t think that joke is funny.
@@Clisare You have my apologies. It was a crappy joke, made without thinking.
Don't mean to be crude but the best ones from the met are the yellow snow warnings!
I was living in Ireland during Emma and The Beast from the East. Some crazies took a tractor and looted a Lidl.
I remember that! Wild!!
A video on super famous Irish memes would be spectacular yes thanks,
In fairness, as a dreaded Englishman, it's only reasonable that the Met Office and Met Eireann work together on naming, as so many of the storms that affect Ireland then affect the UK.
I’m gunna need that meme video!
You didn't name the storm(door)incident?
What do you mean?
@@Clisare Storms are very personal. We get some really severe ones in the NE US. I name them all the time like; "Holy fauking sh", "what the fauk", "ummmmmm". When the leaves on the trees look like freshly shredded green basil it becomes personal :D
Looks like we missed out on Storm Clisare
Storm Durian is coming!
When your skin has been injured the sun comes out to take another shot at you for flinching.
Until 2020, the US went to the Greek alphabet to name storms that exceeded the 21 name list. That happened twice in the last 20 years, 2005 and 2020. Now there's an alternate list. Something like 56 names have been retired from that list.
And if any of thestorms are named after Tryers, Ciara and Dermot should be included, lol
Maybe Alex should get you a hurricane Claire shirt, with one of those red warning symbols on it! :-)
For the longest time only hurricanes had names. I don't know maybe 10 years ago or so they started naming big snow storms, like only the big ones, like the ones that lasted for days and gees now they name just about every storm. I think it's kind of ridiculous because some of those disturbances are barely a storm. I think the weather people do it just for the attention.
We, Canadians, don't name our storms; we'd run out of Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters. "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes, it'll change".
One year, the Canadian Army was called out for a blizzard in Ontario, an "ice storm" in Quebec, and spring flooding in Manitoba. They were beginning to call the Minister of Defense, the "Minister of Weather".
In the spring of 1985, my cousin found a telephone in her back yard. A tornado had picked it up in Orangeville and dropped it in Barrie. The phone had travelled a distance of 87km.
The Toronto Islands were created in 1853 by an April storm that severed a peninsula from the mainland with a 150m channel.
Dublin Ontario is in "tornado alley".
Raise a glass for all the women whom storms were named after, like my late Nana Eunice..😊 lol
♫♫ Clisare as sonorous as ever ♪
Funny looking at those "heavy snow" pictures and realizing people over here in the US can get fired if they refuse to drive to work in that, even if the news says to stay home. And I wish I was joking. You're lucky if that'll even delay a school opening in my city in particular, and our transit _definitely_ runs in that sort of snow. Though I suppose it helps that our bigger trains have diesels on the line that can clear the snow for them and the other trains run so often that the tracks are never covered.
Would _love_ to have that kind of snow again, though. Makes for the best photos downtown outside of blue hour.
In America if we get to the end of the list we start naming them with the Greek alphabet names. Eg: alpha, beta , delta
More irish memes!
I'm waiting for Storm Stormy McStormface
IRISH MEMES PLEASE! ♥
Dia dhuit Clarissa. This is very much a hard question for you,and cuts to the bone.
Right here we go, do you remember when you took the DNA test and hoping you had no trace of a certain country and you got what you wanted 👍.
So I was adopted in the 60s and living in that place of lies and deceit and lived a lie for 48 years, but then when the adoptive parents (feisi) past I found my documents and birth certificate and changed it back to the proud Irish name I have today.
The thing is that I've missed out of my culture my country and true religion etc. My story is too horrendous to post online.
Its called cptsd.
The name I have saved my life, I'm learning Gaelic and loving it as hard as it is to learn but your posts how to swear is fantastic and helpful. Thanks Clarissa
Yes to an Irish memes video!:)
Ophelia was the worst,
i had to go out and cut down my palm tree in record time because i thought it was going to come through the front window.
Oh yes! Give us those super famous Irish memes!
Hey Climate I think that Ireland Scotland Wales and Cornwall should name the UK Ireland storms using their Gaelic language.
Charlie H The welsh wouldn't be impressed because welsh is strongest of the celtic languages and though its celtic its not one of the gaelic languages(more than one language)
