Fierce Cold Spell from Sunday (February 1st)

embee

I don't think we're gonna get any of this snow here, ye seem to be getting it further south. It snowed here for literally about two minutes, now it's gone and the skies are clear....

Think I'm too far north

Yep - was 4 years old, Dad was building our house & the snow was so deep where my kids now go to school it was deeper than my height... i was so light i was walking on top of it not sinking - my kids however have never really seen snow - a sprinkling but no more

Hello all, this is my first post on the weather forum, thanks for all the info over the past week.:) I hope to post some snowy photos here. How do I do that?

Remember it well, that year - and another time, maybe '87 or '88 - were the only times I remember having so much snow that my father had to shovel a pathway around the house. Incredible, still vivid memories of watching really heavy and prolonged snow from the bedroom window at night and hoping it would all still be there in the morning. Happy days!

20+ years on and snow events are so rare here that I still have that child-like hope I'll wake up to a blanket of snow. Reading the posts on here, seeing the amount of hits on this thread :eek:, I guess I'm not alone!!!

Not tonight, sorry! - but Monday night and Tuesday looks far more likely for longer periods of snow rather then showers in your location.


Wind really dieing off here now. Just a breeze really. So im expecting a big temperature drop shortly.

BoardsRanger

Went up to the Sally Gap there about an hour ago- there was snow falling and already starting to stick- say it will be a no go area in the morning!

I spotted myself in the crowd!!

Still clear here and the DP is -2.4c, the temp is 2.5c

darkman2

The temperature is definately going to tumble shortly as clearer skies are making their way across the Irish Sea (cloud is like a blanket, it traps heat) and the wind is not as strong so I think we are nearly there in terms of having everything in place for snow.

maquiladora

On the radar looks like there are some showers heading for Louth/Meath/North Dublin area right now.

Still not expecting real showers till after midnight.
