It is a snow risk zone for sure with Atlantic moisture bumping into -6 C uppers and some accumulating snow would not surprise me.

But how's this for accumulating snow (my forecast for 48h snow squall accumulations in Great Lakes region, Sunday-Monday):

sunbabe08

thank you M.T you are awesome

I'm not going to see a single snowflake here in Dublin city centre, am I?

Bah humbug.

You might see a married one.

I wouldn't hold your beath I'm afraid. Can't see snow happening in Munster except for higher ground or well away from the coast. Just not cold enough!

Buts it the ramping thread !
Ya , i think it is going to be marginal , snow in the south from an Atlantic front has got to be rare , probably get some mixed stuff

Wasn't expected Sunbabe.

It's raining here right now, just rain, not sleet or snow, just plain old rain! I live right by the sea and the temperature is +2 with heavy rain clouds rolling in from the sea. Not much sign of snow at the moment.

Guys I hate asking this question cos I know how annoying it can be but what are our chances in Tipp?

I was fairly sure we'd be seeing snow tonight/tomorrow but I'm not too sure now. I opened my big mouth and told my 4 year old we'd be making snowmen together on Monday....yes I should have known better!

MT over on Netweather. (a few days ago)

"Wow, we are seeing some fairly significant cold even without the full synoptics in place, if my idea about February being core of the cold signal is still valid, we may be entering into a 6-7 week period of intense cold with possibly just one brief reversal before deeper cold sets in. That brief reversal seems most likely to happen near end of January. Looking at the current synoptics, strong high pressure north of eastern Siberia could be nudged westward by effects of rising heights over western North America. There has been a deep (930s to 940s) low nibbling away at the base of this Siberian-arctic high for several days now, and in my research, a stronger retrograde signal develops in February.

There is tremendous potential in the current situation for an epic cold (and therefore probably snowy as well) period lasting from this spell to first week or ten days of March. If we start to see any signs in 10-15 day output of building high pressure in northwest Russia or Finland then I would say look out for record cold to move west. Looking at the way these rather weak synoptics have maxed out for snow and cold, can you imagine if we get -10 uppers moving across the North Sea later this winter?

GFS of course seems to be lukewarm to idea of further cold this month and that could prove true, it matches my research output closer than the current ECM or GEM, but at this point for me it's all about February's potential and how that actually plays out. I am of curious now to see whether this is a case of cold coming early or just a huge signal starting to appear. If it's the latter then even 1947 could find itself with a rival, certainly 1895 and 1855 may have to move over a space."

Now have a look over west Russia on today's ECM



THEN ASK YOURSELF

There is a chance, it depends on how far east it gets before dying out.

I made that same mistake! Worse still (though better for me), I'm going skiing for 3 days next week and my 5 year old is furious Im not bringing him to the "snowy mountains". I thought snow this weekend would get me out of my pickle and have promised we will be making snow men tomorrow. I could regret this!

Overnight the Nae and MT's forecast have downgraded for my area but I live in hope! We really need the western front to arrive wrapped in its own v cold air. Uppers and dew points are very marginal but thickness will be ok. Fingers crossed.

Prospects in South Tipp are pretty good I'd say btw
