Snow for some Cold for all (2)

Supercell

Also the 2100 radar shows those little showers in the Irish sea finally taking an eastward track(though look pretty weak affairs), might be a few flurries in the Dublin area in an hour or two

CrowdedHouse

Clear,light wind from the east -1.8 c

Strangely no frost on the car yet,last night it was iced up at 7:30

Snowbie

Thanks Croppyboy,here is hopin for it

The Eagle was ,how shall I put it ...
Quite restrained in that forecast.
No mention of heavy snow in the East tomorrow evening.
Just snow showers that might make their way south.

LookingFor

It was no different than the 6 forecast, almost identical word-for-word even.

My guess is they'll be watching things during the night and hopefully we'll be hearing about this other little development in the morning...(although I'm trying hard not to get my hopes up!!).

Does it bode well, or badly?

All this optimism makes me nervous

Do you notice on that sat link how the showers in the Irish sea, small though they are, have formed into a curve with a large shower at either end.
They are growing slowly.

darkman2

Some darn big clouds coming off the Irish sea now. Look like anvils:eek: Maybe some development to come:D

Snowbie

Yes i see them too darkman2,looks like we will get a flurry in the next hour

Dublin airports temp is down to -4c :eek:

We're still quite cloudy here but currently -1.6c

Well I never made it up Lug today, so I'm delighted to see there is a chance of a polar low. We'll just have to wait and see.

You betcha!! , am very excited looking at the radar, the low that was to track along southern England seems to have gone a little further south and fizzzled out a bit too - all which aids shower development over the irish sea :v:

I think they might be moderate snow showers Longfield,they have formed a curl shape in the Irish sea roughly in a line from Dublin down to North wexford

Supercell

Slow moving too, IF they make landfall could be some localised nice big amounts , and will settle too.

Snowbie

Net weather the first site to mention polar low

"Low confidence on this one at the current time though.."

Hmm..perhaps THAT'S why met eireann isn't mentioning anything about it yet

SpitfireIV

Watching this develope here is better than 'LOST' WC :v:, more suspence and you really dont know whats going to happen.

darkman2

I count 3 showers 'threatening' the coast. One heading stright for Dublin looks like a flurry. But with temps this low anything that falls from the sky should stick:) The other two have become moderate.

Snowbie

The met people have to be cautious when issuing new warnings,but we shall see,you can see the curvature of this system to the NE of scotland.

headed outside.. temp here only -2.5c:D

Some puffs of cloud heading in from the sea;)

Aint real winter magical:D

Time for a new Thread with a new ramping title soon?

Aberdeen is getting hammered with snow now, blizzards.

ninebeanrows

Yep and I will say the troughs are racing toward us. Will probrably reach the north before Dawn.

darkman2

Look at the plume on the latest radar heading down the west coast of Scotland. Will deffo come in sooner then expected:eek:

dloob

Any chance of anything hitting Galway City?
It's been pretty dissapointing so far with barely a flurry despite the NW wind.
The showers fizzle on their way over mayo :mad:
Now it looks like you east coast guys are going to hog it all again :v:

Mothman

Something happening here. Temp hovered -2.5 to -2.8C for couple hours and now is suddenly dropping at quite a rate. Down 1C in 15 mins, currently -3.7C which places it at 8th position for coldest night on record (since Nov 99).

Grass temp nearly -10C, a new station record likely, less than a degree to go, but records only going back to 2002.

Supercell

Easterly element already looks like its fizzling out.

The air is very dry, and stagnent, perfect for fast temperature drops. Reckon some very low temps in many places by the end of the night.
