The Freeze bites back -6th December onwards (All discussion here please)

Pangea

Amazing the contrast in weather Irish with you only being 25kms from me.
Last friday was the same.
But last saturday week I got 2 inches of snow when you didnt get much. So it changes by scenario I guess.

Dying off slightly now but still snowing

Yeah but polar lows are as rare as Liverpool being on top of the table.
So its not even worth mentioning in my opinion.

it's funny cause it's true:p

Harps

Nothing here again, this front seems to be extremely weak.

It got heavy for a couple of minutes, changed to rain for another few minutes then stopped again. Hopefully it melts some of this ice if nothing else but it doesnt even seem to be doing that at the moment

shiibata

Heavy snow in Donegal Town and Letterkenny and I am in between and getting zilch:(

I thought David Rogers (I think that was his name) forecast on the radio at 755 was extremely vague: thaw setting in but frost returning, milder but still below normal, thaw setting in on low ground,

Look at the radar heaviest is further down the West Coast

Before going to bed I checked many online forecasts. Some, like Sky, had rain falling by 9am & others had it arriving in Galway by midday. It's a nice sunny morning !

Over and out, Enjoy the sneachta Irish and the rest of yas. This rollercoaster has crashed for me.

it sounds like they are not sure, and just trying to cover every eventuality. while it will likely get relatively milder, it could still be fairly cold at night under clear skies. so still a messy situation for areas with a lot of snow to melt.

The radar does not seem to be very accurate at all. Still blue skys and sunshine here, Radars showing percip over head for well over an hour.

irish1967

light snow / grauple now... 50 mins since it started about 1-2 cms i guess

Harps

Very light drizzle here now, barely noticible unless you step outside

I didnt expect snow from this so its not really a let down but I was expecting some rain to help the thaw.

Think I'll take my chances and try and make it to college

Pete2k

Very dark clouds approaching from the northwest here, but still dry so far.

I was interested in his freezing frog forecast

irish1967

M4 Buoy showing wind of 26 knots gusting to 35... not a breeze here yet..

(light graupel here now)

redsteveireland

I can't see any snow from this one for me. I'll have to wait and see.
One thing I can't figure out is where do met eireann get the temps from on their homepage? It says +7 degrees for Galway???

A Dub in Glasgo

Snowing heavily here for about an hour now

snaps

only in Ireland....-2c and raining!!!!

Harps

Heavy snow once again and stopped after a few minutes, wish it'd make up its mind already!

Here's what it currently looks like, most of that was already here but you can see the fresh cover on the road

irish1967

Medium snow now seems to be continous hasnt stopped since 9 am.. all forecasts have it contimuing until @3pm... cant see how this is so as cloud after the front seems to die out.. unless it stalls for a while
looking good so far though.

mojopolo

crisp and bright blue skies in Belfast - temp about -2.
just watching and waiting to see what this afternoon brings.

irish1967

Massive flakes of heavy snow now !!

snaps

The rain today radar images seem to be about an hour in advance??? Rain here freezing instantly to everything.

cherryghost

Looks like a good 3-4cm build up. nice! You're still in for another hour of it by the looks of the radar!

Harps

Moderately heavy sleet here for the past 10 minutes, first time its been heavy for more than a couple of minutes so I'm guessing this is the main event now. Shame because it looked promising for a while.

Much like Friday night we've got nothing while Donegal town seems to be getting plenty of snow!
