    i suspect with the pressure/spotlight on them, they had indications before now from their data that it was going to get milder but wanted to wait and see a bit longer before committing to a change. if they said it was going to get milder and didn't then the Donegal incident would be minor to the fallout that would ensue.

    i read that the models this evening don't show any significant rising in temperatures this week and there is a danger on Tuesday of more snow again. anyone know anything further about this risk yet or should we get over tomorrow first?

    do you think the 5-10 cm estimate is conservative or about right?

    met eireann seem to have the precipitation as persistent showers as opposed to anything very heavy. suppose very hard to know until closer in the time.

    btw what charts/info do you rely on for your estimates?
