Let thr excitement and ramping begin :D

Two potential polar low features in the next 60 hours.

Could be a shock to alot of people.

Just hoping tomorrows one can edge 50 miles further north please;)

met eireann still have only a scattered wintry shower outlook! interesting how it will play out - gfs can exaggerate from my experience and this run seems to have been a big change from past ones.

It's a tricky one. Latest DMI.DK HIRLAM give us just the basic package tomorrow afternoon with some showers filtering inland at times:

if it freezes as its supposed to road conditions will be tricky in the morning.

Locations at the current risk from this polar like esk feature according to NAE model

NAE wants to throw probably 15mm of precip.

Accums of 10-15cms

That Nae is as wrong as Moss Bell!
Snow in Valentia tomorrow from returning polar maratime but rain in west cork where theres a lot of high ground? I don't think so Tim.
If it's predicting something as stupid as that,I think the rest of it is tubs of salt... and lol I won't even mention that snow a few miles off the waterford coast...

3rd day in a row where my weather station recorded a max of 7.4c:

so in other words you think we'll mainly see rain and sleet at lower levels all weekend with just localised falls of snow at lower levels.

Actually, what would be a great idea if Pangea opened up a 'natural signs' weather outlook thread. I don't doubt that nature can give us clues. Pangea, go for it, you seem to make the claim a lot, so howabout some forecasts dude?

Someone already did open a thread about that last week, Im simply posting a weather related paper article considering this weeks weather , not the history of signs themselves , if you dont like them then tough, its a small brain that makes fun of easy targets.

Anyways the hills are all white here now.

Snow showers are possible at anytime over the next few days. The trouble is being specific about where they will fall. It does seem that the latest models are more confident about pushing them somewhat more inland than over the last few days, but in isolated form. I can't see read anymore from them than that. Either or not, I seriously doubt that this current spell of weather will be remembered in weather lore for its sheer magnificence.

What choo talkin bout dude?

I am just wondering if you would like to make some forecasts based on you expertise that is all. Chill dude.

I see a weather warning for tonite also


Issued at 18 February 2010 - 13:51

Very cold overnight with a sharp to severe frost, some patches of dense fog and wintry showers in places too. These mainly over Ulster and Connacht with a few centimetres in places. But a few wintry showers are likely in coastal counties of west Munster and in the midlands also.
Cold and frosty weather will continue over the weekend, with some scattered wintry showers at times.
Valid from 18/1800 to 19/1000

well you could apply that most of the time really. as we rarely get significant snow fall even in more wintry setups. it has been 10 years since i've had what i consider a significant fall of snow- which is eight inches or more of lieing snow.

I never once claimed that i was an expert at it nor did I ever make a forecast from traditonal weather signs. I dont know where you are getting that from lol
All I did was post articles from michael gallagher, same way everyone else posts different weather forecasts from yr no or met eireann , doesnt mean I or they forecasted it themselves

yup

the showers will keep going up in the north west after dark and should start falling as snow mainly. theyll probably die off here.

I think that 'significance' becomes a relative term here in Ireland regarding weather. Certainly any fall of snow would be a lot more significant than any fall we had over the last month. But yes, you are right regarding the application. Maybe we are just looking for something that will never happen.

Rubbish, you said that the signs in nature are more reliable than the 'hokey pokey' (or whatever you said) charts regarding weather forecasts. I don't dispute this, but it does assume that you have an expertise in this area. So, how 'bout a forecast?

lol Someones opinion on which is more reliable doesnt make them an expert and it doesnt assume anything. Im just saying that traditonal weather signs can often be accurate to show how harsh a winter is and is often correct unlike charts which change every day naturally enough.

But i will tell u my forecast for Tuam , I dont think it will snow in tuam ever dont "choo"?

This really seems to bother you I suggest we get back on topic
or else you should contact a mod if this traditonal weather signs or I am bothering you.

You ain't bothering me dude. However, your post above smacks of complete farce and contradiction once again.

You made the claim that signs in nature are more reliable than what weather models predict for a weather forecast. Coming out with that gobbledegook above is not really answering my query. I want you to make a forecast for next few days, for the whole of Ireland, based on your higher knowledge. So, what choo think. Will we get a good bash of snow tomorrow based on your claim?

snow ghost

Based on my observations - I just saw a gritter going down the road - I'm predicting that the foxes will have plenty of salt for their curry fries, because that is a sure sign that I aint getting no snow, or even frost tonight.
