Very cold, Snow

derekon

Folks,

I think it would be fair to say that Ireland's weather over the coming week can be summed up in one word - "uncertain"

The models appear to be all over the place, though generally cold for the coming weekend.

Even the likes of CNN weather (which I understand totally is based on computer models and cannot be trusted) is noting a cold trend for the coming ten days in Dublin .

It would appear that even the CNN computers do not know which way to view the upcoming weather in Ireland, although in the end they are opting for colder than average.

It looks like a milder air push up then a colder air push down as a low moves north-east but after that a more substaintial depression will feed south-westerlies over us, sandwiched by a large area of high pressure moving east.

Evelyn mentioned up to 10cm of snow in the northern end of the country, including north Connaught... (she showed a very interesting chart )

It is certainly cold enough here in Dromahair... BRRRRRRRrrrrr

She might be right just talking to the mother in law in Amtrim town and it is snowing heavy at the minute about 2cm so far

Since the front is moving more East than south atm, the warm front will be travelling from Donegal east to Antrim, should turn to rain there soon.

HOWEVER, if the warm front is weaker than anticipated, god knows, some places could see a fair bit.

She's pretty much said what is being said on here. It's a flip of a coin from Thursday

If a regional thread is started, it'll only be closed/merged again. Nout wrong with this one - Very cold, Snow - says it all !

No thats totally different, thats when the whole country is getting snow ,when there is just one region getting snow then a regional snow thread is created because only one region is getting snow obviously. lol
Event threads are usually created when there are snow events , like I said if there was snow just in Leinster tonight, there would be a seperate thread created to this one

Significantly colder 18Z run tonight:)

What does this mean?

it means very little on it's own.
Forecasts are better made from a blend of several numerical weather programmes.
To newbies,if you want a reasonable balanced translation of the models into as best a forecast as possible,you won't go too far wrong by reading mt craniums forecast sticky thread.
A lot of time and consideration goes into it and it's free.

Currently the weather set up is very difficult to forecast as models aren't apparently as well geared to resolve,for want of a better way of putting it,the physics of where everything is at the moment.

more snow please

Which model? I don't see much of an upgrade if you can call it that for cold up to t+96 anyway.

Besides, it's not called the pub run for nothing;)

isle of man
