Would anyone be able to let me know if this is expressed
properly in Texas Irish Dialect?

Tá sé phruigean iontach fuar!!!!!!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Slán,
Faber

Níl a fhios agam, ach cinnte seo é ceart: An bhfuil dhiail ag fiocsan a dhul?

Oh, I feel guilty now murdalizing the Irish language.

Níl a fhios agam ach oiread, ach ar an Chéadaoin bhí an aimsir "fuar mar san ifreann na Rúisigh" anseo. ;)

Tá péire moncaí práis ag lorg táthaire anseo!

Was just trying to get the correct spelling for the english "frickin" in Irish. Here ihe brass monkey ain't got no balls left. They done froze off. :)
Thanks for humoring me. 17 degrees this morning in S. Central Texas. Record is 15.

phruigean

Sounds good to me. It's just above zero Celsius here, but we have had more snow and - in particular longer icy weather than in my liftime. And since we don't often get snow and ice, things have pretty much broken down.

Tá an ádh ag siúl libh. -26 nó níos fuaire a raibh ar an Chéadaoin, agus -24 inniu. Níl garáiste agam, nó soicéad théimh ach oiread.

Curiousfinn:

Ca bhfuil tú? -24 inniu!!!!

Táim go mhaith, agus tá mo charr go mhaith freisin go dtí seo. Nuair a bhfuil mé ag dul chun obair, tá orm fuardhúisithe, ach is féidir liom plugáil na téitheoirí isteach ar aghaidh an phictiúrlann.

Bhí a lán geimhrí níos fuaire i rith den dara cogadh domhan, mar shampla. -50 nó a leithéid a raibh nuair a chomhlíon(?) mo sheanathair ann.

A Fhabeir,

Gabh mo leithscéal. Níor thuig mé do cheist go ceart. D'iarr tú "cá bhfuil tú" díom...

Táim i mo chónaí i bhFionlainn.

Agus celsius seachas fahrenheit!

Nuair a throid mo sheanathair ann (seans?)

Níl mé baileach cinnte cad atá i gceist agat le comhlíonadh.

It was about him serving in the WW2.

I didn't know a good phrase, but Focal has a nice one:

bí ar fiannas

Nuair a bhí mo sheanathair ar fiannas san dara Cogadh Domhanda.

Dála an scéil Faber

-24 ºC = -11.2 ºF

Faberm you ever hear about Cór Gaeilge Texas? they sing in Irish and in Scots Gaelic they will be in the North Texas Irish festival in early March.They are one of the few Irish language choirs in the world!

Guevara, An mbeidh tú ag dul an féile (north texas) an blian seo tú féin? Beidh mé ansin. An bhfuil tú i gconai i Texas?

Hello Faberm,

I am just now getting back into the swing of things after a round of flu...

I feel your pain, I am north of you a fair bit in Iowa/Nebraska and the weather is playing with us also. I am in the heart of the part of Iowa that was recently declared a disaster area. Which is funny because they were showing all this footage of our farms under snow and the roads with the 30+ foot (10+ meters) snow drifts...but it was the cities that were in trouble. All the farmers were prepared because we go through this ever year. While are governor was screaming to get help for the people in the country, it was the people in the country who were coming to the aid of the cities...LOL

While today and next few are going to be warmer than normal, we are getting ready for another storm this way. Today it is 22F (-5C) and people are walking around without coats and talking about how warm it is after the past few weeks which have been around -5F (-20C) and -10 (-23C). While not extremely cold, the 40mph (64kph) winds...this year is starting out rather crappy.

Funny thing is, leading climatologists in late 70's predicted we were facing 'a mini ice age' sometime around the turn of the century..
Global warming wasn't invented until the eighties when Thatcher's government needed to stigmatize the coal mining industry to get the people to accept nuclear power stations.

Asarlaí,
Úsáid an téarma ceart: "athrú aeráide".

How do we say, "one cannot predict the weather" or "you cannot predict the weather" as Gaeilge?

"you cannot predict the weather"

Dar liom, Ní thig leat réamhaithris a thabhairt ar an aimsir.

Roinnt cinn deasa ó Seanfhocal na Mumhan

1862 Mura mbí sé tirim is fliuch is fearr é

1867 Má deireann tú amáireach le muir beidh an lá amáireach fliuch

1897 Mol an lá um thráthnóna

1902 Ná creid feannóg is ná creid fiach,
Is ná creid briathra mná,
Pé moch mall a d'éirigh an ghrian,
Mar is toil le Dia sea bheas an lá

Apparently Scottish has this:

Bha aon rud nach b’urrainn dhaibh fhàisneachadh.
There was one thing they couldn’t prophesy.

quote:

Mol an lá um thráthnóna

Tá an ceann sin agam. Seans go raibh mé ag baint teachtaireacht róchasta as ach shíl mé go raibh an ciall "don't count your chickens before they hatch" air. Ceann deas ar aon nós.

Tá an ciall sin leis, ach is tagairt é don deacracht a rá go raibh lá deas ó thaobh na haimsire sula mbíonn sé thart.
