    Yahoo! streamer setting up now North of the Isle of man with a target for North County Dublin. Fingers crossed.

    2AM for n co. dublin. but the streamer will probably be frightned off by the fireworks later as it stumbles into dublin.

    Realistically precip will happen where there is fetch over the Irish sea - Isle of Man punches a big hole in that, which is why we have two distinct streamers tonight .
    I expect the south Dublin streamer to hopefully move a bit further down to mid Wicklow and here as winds turn more to the N. I can't see where central Dublin or north of Dublin is gonna get any precip tonight bar really light on the coast sleety/hail stuff.

    It's on the way;)

    Not every single operational run from every main model is going to be perfect for us.

    I'd settle for one at this point :confused:

    Lets pray for rapid intensification of the streamer north of the isle of man..that should deliver a covering to most of dublin at least:pac:

    It's one model run and we don't have the ensembles yet. It's a bit premature to be calling it like that judging by the GFS and UKMO. Not every single operational run from every main model is going to be perfect for us.
    It's the ECM.
    The best one there is.
    It's done a major wobble.
    I don't mind it's FI wobble concerning though that is.
    It's just it deals us a rotten next 4 days with little in the way of snow either.

    I guess after 2 weeks its game over for snow in Co. Meath, in the past 2 weeks this is what was achieved around my location:

    Thursday 17th December - 1st day of cold spell.
    Heavy rain followed by a 5 minute snow shower that melted instantly due to soaking conditions followed by a hard frost and days of dazzling sunshine - frost continues for a few days

    22nd/23rd December - showers came in along east coast and brought temperatures from -2C up to about 4 or 5C delivered mild wet muck through the night then back to frost.

    Christmas Day - Heavy frost followed by cold rain at 0C, washed away most of the ice followed by a 3 day milder interlude.

    29th/30th December - Over 48 hours of wet muck and stormy winds

    31st December- 15 minute light snow shower then sunshine afterwards with no more signals of any showers with an end in sight to the cold snap in a few days.

    Of all the times we've been let down in the past 10 years through mostly non-events this one has to be the greatest and most dissapointing waste of potential ever.

    Chill out, relax, have a few beers and enjoy the snow. Im tellin yeh don't take that too seriously. Look at the UKMO and GFS. It's all good.

    What snow?
    I've had nothing but rain with a few flakes this evening.
    I'm very chilled actually!
    Just I suppose realising like Gonzo what an utter nonsense this cold spell is.
    I'm not too terribly excited by a quick flurry and a cover on a car windscreen either.

    I guess I wanted at least some of what the models were hyping up and I am now expecting one big backtrack preceded by some sleety showers and a long dry cold spell.

    wind direction and general stuff like that.
    The BBC precip chart was actually right for a change.

    I keep trying to reply and express how p*ssed off I am that I am likely to miss out on snow yet again but can't find the words... hence just saying that.


    Oh and...

    Think theres a streamer headed our way supercell. looks like it according to met.ie

    I hope so, i think its the one the people in Sandyford/Blackrock/Bray are reporting about.

    I remember when I was a whipersnapper of 17 getting drunk with my mates in Dun Laoghaire with our fake iD cards we went in to cold dry and came out to snowmageddon. Mother of all snowball fights! Buses, everyone, everything! it was a streamer than too, I remember watching the news the next day about Dalkey getting plastered and people going there to sleigh when most of the city got nowt.
    Lesson, find the streamer.

    partial eclipse is all it was. not great. you want a full eclipse of the sun by the moon full on now thats interesting. i remember in cornwall many years ago it was a sunny bright day and when the full eclipse happened it was pitch dark now thats an eclipse.

    That's pretty much sums up my experience too. I think we've just been very unlucky this time around. Feb 09 was better at my location, although even that amounted to only slightly more than a dusting. Over at Sandyford, where I work, it was more impressive and caused traffic chaos. Snow sure is fickle for Ireland.

    Chin up. Hopefully we'll see something before the winter is out.
