Go on message him.

The ECMWF run is a complete mess from 120h onwards with shortwaves all over the place so safe to say its not going to develop like that even if the general theme is right, the evolution from 120h to 168h just looks strange as well as does the situation over Greenland as already talked about

Still though, keeps a bit of interest at least, Monday seems to be the crucial day in how it all develops so we really should start seeing a definitive trend soon

And what a one to start on! This rollercoaster is the longest, scariest, sickest and most draining one I can remember and it's not even nearly over yet. I'm getting to the stage that I wouldn't even care if it all went tits up, just for my sanity's sake (I would care really though, feck sanity).
But I'm still hanging in there too though, hopefully it'll be worth it. Maq, I don't know how you do it. You deserve a medal when this is all over, one way or the other!

Yes, I can imagine only about 5,000 ways it could all go wrong, but it is nice to at least see the ECM still showing potential.

MT doesnt want snow/cold here yet because it will mess up his forecast for it to happen in February. :P;)

He's out in a balloon over the Greenland coast trying to generate shortwaves!

February Smebruary....we want it now ha

Roll on half 9 folks. I feel like I'm in the 12th round and the timer has frozen
Can't take much more

i think im starting to become immune to all the cold spells going pear shaped for Ireland over the past 7 or 8 years on this forum. At first it was hard to take, last year was really bad, but this year im kinda taking it in my stride as it's almost becoming normal that no matter how good the charts look, that mild weather nearly always wins out for us in Ireland. I think if ye all take that approach things are not so bad and any flakes that do fall are just a bonus.

I agree we're hardened veterans at this stage but after the latest ECM when most expected them to completely implode and go t_ts up let see what the latest GFS have to offer. I think the only certainty is uncertainty given the last few days

Its at this time of the year that I remember this forum and how much I love it


This also sounds quite like one of my favourite XKCD.com comics...

I miss a run, go to the gym and come back to this - how unexpected!

Apologies to the ECM for chucking it in earlier.

Maybe i should go to the gym again around 9.30 for luck:)

If the 18z goes the way of ECM at 84 hrs (The crucial time - we need the trough southeast of GL to go SOUTH, if it does game on) I expect this place will go mental..IF it does. It's still on, just about.

Possible on high ground in the north east there.

Been stalking this page for quite a while now. I only understand about half of you are talking about but I want to learn more. Opened this account just to ask you all a few questions - I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post it.

Is this the best place to get the GFS? http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=snow;sess=
Where can I see the ECM? What times are they run at? Is there anything else worth watching for?

munsterlegend

Well as opposed to being game over a few short hours ago, it's back on but still very uncertain if we will see anything very wintry!

Still at least hope has been restored!
