You think it's cold? I've been watching Tulloch Bridge in Scotland all day, -15.6c atm (at 1700). Max today of -9.4c (at 1300). :eek:

Looks a little bit marginal tomorrow for snow on the East coast. A few miles inland and a bit of altitude will be needed I reckon.

The east has a great chance for a shot of snow tomorrow night, with some heavy precip and the right conditions snow should fall away from the coast.

More nowcast stuff, its unsure how far north this feature will get, and we will be able to watch it form and moving to outh southwest over the coming 24-36 hours.

danni2 · 22-12-2009 6:53pm

Well I only had one heavy snow shower and that was 2 nights ago, it's been clear and very cold since, What are my chances of seeing snow tomorrow? it looks like it might just miss me to my south.

Mothman · 22-12-2009 6:56pm

I'm the same, its snowed just to my north, south ,west and now it looks like this will just miss me to the east.
However i'm in a good position for any precipitation to fall as snow.

Impossible to know exactly how far the precip will go, yeah you might be a little too far north but you have a decent chance I'd say. Just check back tomorrow.

hope by east this could include down and antrim?!

The hill above Galway City (Tonabrocky) never really thawed since Sunday night, its high up and shaded from sun by high hedges. I was surprised to come home to find a few centimetres of tightly packed snow outside my house last night. Cars could not make it up the higher part of the hill last night and today again.
Between Headford and Ballinrobe particularly icy in places too,
So if you are in those places.....drive smart!

owenc · 22-12-2009 7:05pm

hah King! althought it could be rain in Waterford city.

danni2 · 22-12-2009 7:08pm

Thanks for the reply guys, we'll just have to wait and see what happens, should be cold enough for snow if the precip can make it here.

Darwin · 22-12-2009 7:11pm

The BBC precipitation forecast shows rain/snow falling more on the Eastern side of the country for tomorrow compared to earlier today. Guess it's wait and see what happens as the forecasts seem to chop and change every couple of hours

We never get snow here so i'm sure it will be rain. Will miss the heavy frosty mornings and everywhere looking so white.

owenc · 22-12-2009 7:15pm

can anyone answer my question?

Cian92 · 22-12-2009 7:16pm

Whats the chance Cork will get snow tomorrow?

MUSEIST · 22-12-2009 7:20pm

FFS its so annoying with people asking whether its going to snow or not,

erm the last time i checked it did:P:P anyways what i want to know is... whether we are going to get a proper frost tonight like -5_-7? because so far we have had -1c lows which is horrible because it is not really helping snow lie because in the day temps are rising to around 1 or 2c and a nice frost would be good and a nice ice day!!!!!

Probably not. The forecast is for between -1 and -6 degrees, but the lowest temps are usually in the midlands. So you'll probably get around -2 again tonight.
