So quiet in here, where are all my fellow Munster night owls?
When the snow comes i guess i can man the night shift:p

Well I'm just on my way from Killorglin to Killorglin via Wrexham UK, back tomorrow night. Temp has gone up 6 deg F overnight, now a beautiful morning.
48 hours like this will suit me fine.

Too many threads for me, despite the flotsam in the big, big thread, it was entertaining, I don't have the capacity to follow 5 threads essentially on the same subject.

Recommendations for other weather forums please.

Maybe just keep track of the main nationwide weather thread and this one for Munster? You'll prob get most of your info from them

From MT Cranium: Full report in the weather forecast thread quote/

Wednesday, 15 December, 2010
_________________________________

Advance ALERT ... Rapid freeze likely on Thursday morning in north, by afternoon in south; cut ...

TODAY ... The calm before the storm, cut ....

THURSDAY ... The main feature of the day's weather will be a sudden change to much colder, wintry weather. The timing of that change will vary from morning in the mid-north, to late afternoon in the south coastal counties. cut ... even blizzards ...... endquote/

Anyone with children would want to take heed, don't leave them waiting for a bus, don't expect neighbours to collect them be more aware than usual of their activities and locations, outdoor sports would be a major concern.

There is a strong possibility of being cut off for a few hours until the front passes and the weather pattern settles [as much as it is going to].

I don't think we're going to get much snow from this cold spell, the wind direction is against us.

Well it looks like nobody will know where the snow is going to be from this, look at what met.ie have posted and note the word random!!!!

"overnight frost and ice persisting by day in many areas in addition to random snowfall. "

I'm hoping its nothing more than drizzle we get down here, driving from cork - limerick at 11 on friday night! Really don't have the patience for any more ice or snow now, can anyone make it stay away until christmas?

Nope sorry:) No seriously though i'm sorry to hear that - it might be a bit annoying for you alright but take your time and you will be fine - and if it's not safe don't make the journey if you don't have to

I would say initially the problem for us will be icy roads, more likely to get snow Sun to Tues.

I have my fingers crossed that that "forecast" is the most inaccurate bit of shyte I have ever posted on the interweb.
Off to the big city (Cork) now, to do my christmas shopping, in anticipation of the oncoming fun.

I wouldnt agree with you, you wont see much from Thur But fri night to Tuesday is not looking bad for snow, still very hard to pin down but here are some charts for a rough idea these are just out of the updated GFS RUN and these are only a rough idea. For newbies pink is snow:)

Friday night into Sat morn



Saturday




Monday

I do hope for leahyls and sunbabes sakes that we get plenty of snow. They are practically begging the snow Gods at this stage.I'm secretly hoping for lots myself. I've even promised the young lads we'd be building snowmen at the weekend. This better turn out as expected or they will be onto childline!
