Cold Spell Discussion (Ireland): Cold/Frosty/Icy with Snow for some

Rougies

Raining here. There an ice stalagmite from a dripping hose on the deck that's getting rained on and melting. Typical.

From looking at the radar the warmer winds coming from the west of Ireland will reach the east coast quicker before that Wales born precipitation.

Wine Goddess

Snowing in Ballycullen/Firhouse

Quite big teeny flakes

Temp here is 0.4C and DP is -1C

Awwww, slowing down now, got all excited!

It has been all along in terms of shower activity except in the north east where they have been very intense. The massive snowfalls on higher ground in the East came from a front.
The shower activity is very weak thus giving very light precipitation. That will not change tonight.

dublinbusdude

Its snowing in the last 5mins here in Aylesbury, Tallaght ❄ ❄ ❄ ❄ ❄

Torque.ie

Temp down .4c here in last hour. If only this Easterly would pick up a bit I think we could be quite surprised this evening.

I am pretty hopeful about those showers coming up from wales they seem to be holding it together on their journey.

And once the temps stay low well who knows !!!!!!

Ok, I know doing this qualifies me as a complete douche but I cant leave it.

You mean, Stalactite. Theres an easy way to remember.

Stalactite - Hangs down and has to hold on 'tight'
Stalagmite - Grows up and has to use all its 'might'

Back to the weather

The hose has been dripping onto the deck and the stalagmite has grown up with all it's might

I made it sound like it was hanging from the hose alright, sorry about that lol

Oh! Apologies! I assumed it was the other way around as I figured it would take longer for a 'mite' to form as when the drop hits the ground it would disperse.

Do you have a picture? I imagine it looks quite cool!

dacogawa

The Dew points seem quite high around Dublin city & coast (around 1/2) there'll be no snow unless they drop

Tights go down.simple :-D

think ill have to do a snow dance for those fecking clouds anyone else around kilcoole greystones waiting for a snow explosion lol

highdef

The low pressure associated with the approaching precip to the east coast seems to be pulling away and it seems that the precip is beginning to slow its progress towards us. I have a horrible feeling that it will soon begin a to change direction to a more SW and then ultimately start moving away :mad:

I really hope I'm wrong!

It looked quite cool earlier before it melted, fell over and broke into little pieces

Saganist

I don't have any confidence that those showers will move in over us. I think its back to the drawing board for snow lovers this winter. Roll on Feb.

Precipitation in the Irish sea already starting to weaken and it's not even half way across yet.

Super-Rush

Precip coming from the West as well.
