:pac: With winds of 30mph it's safe to say that would be epic! Haha

Im banking the run

Also time for a RAMP ! :pac:

Don't be fooled by those scrumptious looking charts, half the country is in 850's above -5, with only the North getting anything really below -5. Good for the UK though, with -10 uppers making a welcome appearance to their shores. Not much point pondering too much on them anyway, but a nice synoptic anyway, though a more E/NE component to that wind and we'd be in serious business. Onward and upward from here and hopefully if a Scandi high forms we won't be stuck on the outside looking in again!

But John, this is the Fantasy thread and we can ponder to our hearts content.

But not if you're living in the South and all those yummy charts would probably bring rain.

The Jet stream gone for a hop too

Other variables in that set up suggest other wise, probably wouldn't need -5 850's. Low pressure wold mean the 850hpa level would be at a lower altitude. We would be dragging a lot of surface cold off the continent with very little modification due to the strength of the winds. Continuous intense precipitation would lower the temperature through evaporative cooling, further lowering the snow level. Obviously this analysis is pointless, but still, i would bank that chart anyday!

If like that above you going to like this for Sure

one from the Pub run 18Z



if only it was not the 18Z

From the 00Z GFS

Latest run isn't as nice in FI, cold still comes but leaves much quicker, going to be a lot of changes over the coming days

ZX7R

I know its ECWMF and at 240h but nice eye candy:eek: GFS Look good also fist time i have posted a chart sorry if its to big

catch.23

Those uppers over the arctic are incredible!!!

In other news, a new tax on snow has been announced. :cool:

Any good Atlantic V Cold Front battles showing up in FI? I think we are due a good one.

Long overdue but usually this means a raging Atlantic taking over for weeks/months! Frontal snow never works in my location anyway but further North it might materialise.

TBH, sometimes I think I'd rather live in Cork from a snow perspective. At least you know your not going to get it. Tis much worse to be right in the middle of the snow zone on the east coast and still not get it or get it in much smaller amounts than everywhere around you. Bray finds itself in a reasonably unique position on the east coast that usually puts it in the Anglesey shadow from an easterly, at the Southern edge of the IOM shadow from an ENE wind or the Northern edge of the IOM shadow from a NE and the NI shadow from a NNE. Even during 2010 when we happened to get the wind from the exact compass bearing we needed, on all bar 3 days in the whole period the fecking snow trains just happened to line up with My part of Bray in a gap between trains. (The convective cells tend to veer left of right and tuck in behind the one in front like a slipstreaming F1 car, forming trains)

What really bothers me though is the NI seems to get streamers even though the IOM shadow the east coasty gets is double the entire bloody sea track between Scotland and NI!! What the Hell is up with that??!!

At 3m asl you're not much more likely than Cork to get snow tbh, regardless of snow shadows!

Well, more like we know we're less likely to get it, or as extreme an event as the east. But we did get a good few inches in Jan and Dec 2010, not as much as the east of the country. Cork has done well in the past from low pressure systems to the south pushing into the easterly cold airmass causing frontal snowfall.

But yeah, I think we don't get our hopes up as much about snow down here! I'm certainly not!

Who needs snow when you can have storms :pac:


Edit:

Nabber

Current charts for around 90HRS, a lot of the new people that winter attracts like to see the colours, they love Blue regardless of what it means :pac: Because God knows I love blue with plenty of pink in a winter chart
