I think we will need to progress another 18hrs before troughs may form..

Im watching later tonight..

Otherwise today.. pretty widespread convective showers of snow and hail:)

A cold -1c here this morning and the dusting from yesterday evenings showere is still on the ground.
Showers *should* be as widespread as yesterday if not moreso.

dp -3c

ninebeanrows

Although i dont think im as optimistic.. the trough feature had NOT
materialised...

Maybe the showers will become widespread but im not "that" sure;)

LookingFor

Met Eireann forecast..

Friday and Saturday will bring sunny spells, with showers of hail or snow. These could occur anywhere, but will be heaviest and most frequent in the north and west. All areas will be at risk from heavy or prolonged snow showers on Sunday. During the latter part of Sunday, into Sunday night, there is a possibility that heavy snowfall may be accompanied by strong winds, giving the potential for blizzard conditions.

Still a little way off, but seems as if they don't see that low bringing milder temps, at least for some of us!

Also, the chart for today

Ha who'd believe the met!

That'll porobably turn out as wrong as the farming forecast...

Although i do hope im wrong:D

It's weird that Met have now ramped up for Sunday, thats very far off yet, very surprised they mentioned it. I just hoep for once they are right.

Scubadevils

I swear I'm not jealous reading some of the reports on net-weather!!!

I wonder is this what Met are on about: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn1144.png

GFS shows a low tracking across the southern half of ireland on Sunday. Metcheck, yesterday, was forecasting an awful lot of snow for Dublin on Sunday probably associated with the same low, although I see they're now saying it'll be rain (although still very cold..probably borderline).

At the end of the day the wind has now switched North Westerly till at least Saturday - Forget Eastern England Or Eastern Scotland -

WE have all the fun now - ALL of Ireland and Wales with the major snow now with a few showers cuttin into West Scotland and west England.

Enjoy!!!!!

Snow showers between Wednesday and Saturday. How often can we say that::rolleyes:

homersimpson

Plenty of snow up here in Donegal.:D

Villain

Where abouts in Donegal is that homersimpson???

Can you give me an update on what its like up there this evening I might be heading to Donegal tomorrow, really appreciate an update.

Woke up to this sight this morning ..


Fairly cold, and there was a very weird looking mist blowing in from the north, although it passed quickly enough. There was a flecks of snow falling when i took the photo, but the sun is breaking through and, most of has melted now.
Very nice layer of snow up on Slieve Mish though. Heard on the radio that the Dingle road is very bad in places, and the Conor Pass is, impassable..

Gonzo

once again woken up to dazzling sunshine, not a cloud in the sky, dont see today changing much where I live. Unless an easterly or a trough of snow moves in I wont be seeing any snow worthwhile here.

Woke up to the same thing myself Gonzo, was hoping to see even a tiny sprinkling of snow, but no joy .

Whats the story with that trough feature off the East of Iceland that there was talk of yesterday? Is that a player or a lost cause??

Cheers.

darkman2

We should soon see more prolonged heavier showers getting into the north but the wind is more NW today so maybe the East coast wont do as well as yesterday

looking at the radar it looks like the showers are now staying even closer to the north and west coasts than they did yesterday, the showers currently are not making it past counties Galway, Mayo, Leitrim, Sligo, Donegal, Northern Ireland etc. Even since this morning they have retreated back more.

Dun

I can just imagine the cold in those lovely Swilly buses from Buncrana. Was a nightmare driving up though - I thought it would be grand from Buncrana to Derry, but no such luck. Can't wait for this blooming weather to end.

irishpal25

yeah, up in donegal is covered in snow. all the schools are off. the lyit is open though.

Magee is open too

darkman2

I dont think its gonna happen for us today unfortunatley. The showers are not penetrating inland:(

Villain

Darkman2, I see the 06z doesn't look good at all, I can't see anyone in the East seeing anything, looks like I'm off to Donegal for my snow snaps.

Gonzo

looks like a another non-event for us here i think... unless we get some form of easterly between now and the end of the cold snap or a very active snow front then were screwed.
