a cold clear dry night for me here in the Midlands. I will await Saturdays event, but I am not optimistic.

And here in the west. Clear skies and temps beginning to plummet already.

Temp in Sligo Town 7 c (pharmacy sign) which means it had a high today of 10 and has dropped 2 c in the last 30mins. Surely that must mean more than the evening is drawing in and the sun is gone!! Fingers broke from crossing them.

thecretinhop

doubled up bet on belfast also at same odds, 500 sobs, i feel it i really do!

JJJJNR

Snow caps in Glenmalure, starting to get some light "hail" in Rathdrum.

maquiladora

GFS interesting on Monday night/Tuesday...bringing plenty of precip up from the south, but that looks like it might be rain to me? Marginal?

Will probably be gone on the next run anyway

DP is up and down like a nuns knickers here.
Back to +2c now which does not snow make.
More sporadic bursts of hail as I type.

Supercell

Anyone driving in Roundwoood/Annamoe/Laragh this evening be very careful on the roads, they are very slushy and slippery after the last hail/snow shower.

Raintoday.co.uk have just announced they are extending the precip type radar until 31st December

I'll say you'll have more snow up there than any of us down south after this weekend! :pac:

By the way, was checking for any vids of snow in Ireland and just spotted this. A bit wacky!! :eek:

uncross your fingers and see if there's a hardware store near that pharmacy! Get a shovel - it might just come handy over the weekend.
**** all for us in the east.

Brute75

I doubt snow will fall Chrimbo day doesnt look likely although who knows!

Could be some snow on the ground though.

maquiladora

12Z has a Christmas Day breakdown, 5 degrees and rain, bah!

Ah well, 192 hours out...plenty of time to change...

thecretinhop

I think it could no evidence just gut, worth a punt, just need 1mm to fall not to stick for bet to be valid...

Its looking to be cold right up to Christmas Eve at the moment, it wouldnt take much for the models to change a good bit and extend the cold past Christmas, then all ya need is a bit of luck

Moderate hail in Dublin city centre again.
