Cold Spell Forecasts and Synoptic Forecast Discussion - 26/11/1020 onwards

Irishmarinelife

Someone I follow on twitter just posted a pic of it snowing a few minutes ago in Achill. Wish it would move directly south instead of going out to sea as it will.

Maybe something will clip us in SW Mayo tonight, what do ye reckon?

I think there will be no snow for Dublin from the low pressure that I stupidly thought might be a pol......nah, i can't even say it! I reckon the cold inflow off the land cut out its fuel supply as the centre neared the coast earlier. The easterly flow to the north of it kept the activity going right through and gave areas further north the baton.

Still hoping for some easterly streamers for later as the easterly becomes more established. There could be a fresh covering by morning.

Evelyn just on six one - said there would some snow in Cork and Kerry and in the northeast (Louth) which could move inland and also south so Dublin may get some alright

She also mentioned the siberian air for Wednesday/Thursday and said temps could go below -10:eek:

She said there 'could be' although this is doubtful. Come up to Dublin for the snow as there will be a lot more over the next week with easterly winds.:D:D:D:D:D

Do people think theres much of a chance of snow in Dublin, around the palmerstown area.
Met.ie and bbc weather dont seem to think so, but I do hope so!!

Thunder and lightning in Arklow and snowing

Turned on the news at 6.20 to catch the weather and was treated instead to 30mins of Biffo droning on about our 'best interests'. Please don't tell me they scrapped Evelyn's all important weather forecast for this???? :mad:

wouldn't be surprised if there were a few snow/graupel showers in dublin at around 9ish, look at the radar sequence.

Evelyn was on earlier! But i'd say the weather forecast will be on after Brian Cow won't it?

I live about a mile from Crookstown and afraid I don't see anything

Some who came to the Craft Fair were saying that there was snow up that way. I think they said Bandon but the accent is thick. Anyways, not too far away. ( the Fair was at Castletown Kinneigh)

There was snow between 5am-6am this morning. But nothing since, unfortunately.

Jaysus! Which is more important the future if our country or the forecast for snow? RTE's priorities are all wrong !!

You can see on the Met.ie radar that that activity of the Cork coast has practically dissipated. No snow down there tonight.

Carlow wont get snow tonight either. as soon as it hits land it fizzles out too quick. I really wish we get plastered up here tue and wed as I really need a few lazy work days before xmas. If it happens I can see people stock piling the groceries. Bad weather is good for Dunnes and Tecso I'd imagine.

Ha Wednesday/Thursday ? I reckon its going to be tonight. Absolutely savage temps this evening especially in Kildare. Newbridge recording lower than -6 already and falling fast (http://homepage.eircom.net/~osprey/), Casement already at -6 at 6pm, outdoor thermometer at house outside Kildare Town which, being close to houses didnt register below - 1.6 last night or the night before was at -3.1 and falling at 5pm this evening.
