    Fair enough but there is hope as the colder air kicks in and moves south/south westwards.

    The Eagle reckons this front will be mostly rain, maybe a bit of sleet.
    Looking good for the east from Thursday.

    Eagle just said there'd be mostly rain tomorrow and temps will be kept above freezing for most of the south. But the low will start to move towards the continent, and NE winds will bring very bitter conditions with showers developing from the Irish Sea around new years. Mostly these showers will bring snow to eastern parts of leinster

    Quell surprise. Some peeps round here need to be less tabloid and more realistic/honest about living on a temperate rock in the Atlantic.

    The Eagle's made the right call, contrary to what the models might fancifully let us believe. He seems to call short term cold spells the best IMO, and he's saying what is my judgement for much of Ireland. I would still suspect heavy falls of snow in some areas, but these will be limited to patches and parts of counties in the south midlands. Rain and sleet for other areas, much like February this year. Snow if you're Supercell:D

    Get ready for Thursday if you live on the East coast.

    They never ramped this up from the start so there sticking with what they orginally forecasted. Think we have to face it that there wil be little snow and mostly rain.

    The forcast is quite simple really and has been the last 5 days. Rain turning to snow in many places before moving away Southward. Snow showers following. No one said there would be snow tomorrow, or certainly I never said it. Wednesday is the day. The charts are right here in front of you.

    But the Eagle has just said no snow Wednesday either, maybe some sleet and a bit of the white stuff on high ground. That goes right against what's been said around here.

    Big call from the Eagle, when i saw even Black Briar forecasting a likely snowstorm, I didn't expect that from RTE.

    Interesting couple of days ahead.

    This is great fun.
    well i can see snow falling on high ground as i've been saying especially as the front stalls and retreats south east because the colder air will be taking control then.

    These charts have proven remarkably accurate taking in all the minimum requirements for snowfall. The following areas shaded white are likely to see snow tomorrow.

    Some places are in for a surreal 48hrs IMO away from the East Coast and on high ground.

    interesting quote taken from that link:

    And what now are John's views on TV Weather Forecasting. 'The most important thing to get right is to make sure the viewer believes and trusts what you say. Your forecast won't always be right but at least people know they are getting the best advice available'

    The precip-band will begin to turn to snow during tomorrow evening across the northern sections and steadily all the band will turn to snow overnight and into Wednesday.

    Granted the precip is likely to stay as sleety stuff along the coast until late tomorrow night.

    The Eagle is wrong.

    And i will confidently call heavy snow for a large portion of the country beginning tomorrow night and throughout Wednesday.

    I'll put my cred on it. And will take defeat graciously.

    Brave call. Fair play. :)
