Taken from met.ie the munster forecast for Sunday

Very cold with frost and fog persisting. Sunny spells in the morning. Rain and sleet in southwest in the afternoon, spreading northeastwards in the evening and turning to snow in many areas. Max temps 1 to 4 degrees.

If not snowing tomorrow it will at least be wet and cold. You have a real fell of about -4c. I would rearrange.

IMBY 2.3c and dew point of 1c. I'm so close to the sea thata small breeze could and does register the odd 3.5c.

Some people forget that we are surrounded by a warm sea. You may think it is cold because one day you dipped your pinky in. But for our latitude its quite warm.

we need to wait till the cold seeps in some more so that the warmth of the Irish seas affects aren't enough tho keep costal areas above 0c.

Its all about time the day is still young, we have tomorrow too. One thing to remember. This is 1000 times better than any position we had last year.

FREETV

We are all snow mad.

Blizzard 2010

Once this cloud and murk shifts, I think we will be on the pigs back i.e snow showers. Temperatures last night were 4 degrees at one stage. A bit of patience is required.;)

Anyone been up Hell Fire Club/Viewpoint/Three Rock today yet? Still snowy or is it melting?

I read somewhere earlier that the NAE was looking good for the South on Monday
Is this the same model was showing Dublin buried under snow on Friday whilest the gfs was having none of it ??
For me the gfs is forever slated and imo is the best there is
It also looks like calling the end of the cold spell (albeit temporarily) correctly and has the other models in reverse. It also imo has very accurate ppn charts and todays activity and where is testament to that. Compare what the UKMO is showing ppn for today!!

Anyways the potential is looking good for the next few days and favoured spots are the South midlands. I'm a tad disappointed this morning though because I think Cork will be too coastal for lying snow (maybe even falling snow)
We always needed an offshore wind and while it does go offshore at times it wont be prolonged. Therfore yet again I think the gfs has got the uppers correct aswell.
If you look properly you will see that the gfs as soon as the wind goes onshore raises the uppers whereas the UKMO keeps us in -8's with a Southerly wind.
Now c'mon UKMO when last has Cork or any od the south coast had -8 uppers with an on shore wind!!
This for means gfs is right and it's that bit more marginal
Still a lot to look forward to and if you live in Tipp/ South Limerick it's looking very good

Might have something to do with getting stick over not ramping it up and posting how he see's it, like Su.

If that's the reason it's a pity considering Deep has called it very accurately over the last few days among some major ramping on here. Great poster and one of most level headed guys on here.

Come back!

DE has indeed closed his account , for reasons we all kinda know by this stage . Too much controversial posts can eventually get to people and it really is a shame! Luckily i have the privilege to be still in contact with him. But i do indeed echo voices from the regulars around here... a great , knowledgeable weather Historian as i would class him as . Don't worry , im sure he'll be sneeking about unseen whenever theres a risk of stormy violent westerlies or some big nice thunderstorms rolling into the west.

You Shall be missed DE!! ....




Sleet here earlier , still awaiting till the forecasted -7's and -8s 850s crawl over the east here later for anything interesting. Off to work i go

I honestly think Cork City northwards will be snow. Also most Cork city suburbs are hilly which helps. The precipitation is coming in from the SW and will have tracked over Kerry and SW Cork County before landing here so I think it will be snow. NAE is super as you say. GFS has rain on the coast, including Cork CC, but they tend to overdo the coastline strip in those diagrams I find (simply because the coastal strip wouldn't be visible otherwise). I know it came from the SE but the snow event in Cork on 10 Jan 2010 was v marginal too and many very good posters here, and most forecasters, were calling it rain just before it landed (it having been called as snow all that week). I'd settle on Monday for the 10 hrs of snow we got then!

It was that small bit on the radar that hit here, nothing much just light snow, virtually stopped now, but it did drag the temperature down, which is a good sign for anyone who wants snow.
At the moment around here, evelation is what matters.

Light snow in D24, very light but at least it's snow!!

Hoping for some in north cork but may be elevation based..I presume u mean mainly cork city?

Very sorry to hear deep easterly has closed his acc:(...A very knowledgeable poster who will be greatly missed by all the genuine weather fans around here. I'm sure though once things settle down here and those April start bubbling up he won't be to far away:)...Anyway temp and dew point def going in the right direction here so things looking good:)
