Fingers crossed for later in the night

Wow the east coast of the UK looks like it's getting a sweet pasting, those streamers look heavy.

DP has just dived to -5c in like 2 mins here!

Now i have had a a few very strong gusts within the last minute, so maybe the stronger gusts could help bring down cold uppers?

A few snow showers in Drogheda nothing lasting more than a 30 seconds but it was sticking pity is there any chance of a good long shower of snow later ?

Mal is thinking logically.

MT is thinking outside the box along with a lot of other users as we've been in similar situations before that have led to a sizeable dumping in our soils.


To be perfectly honest I wouldn't call it either way. At the end of the day some people will end up disappointed imo.

Cantona's Collars

Rained here all day,turned to a sleety mix & at about 4pm we had the first bit of snow then back to rain.Dry but cold & windy now in the South East.The dark clouds building out to the N.E looked ominous earlier,bring on a bit of the 'ol white stuff.

He's just showing what the models are showing. I'm sure he'll admit himself that those UK4 charts are likely to be wrong.

That's a kind of low res radar and the showers look bigger than they actually are.

I had a look at the UK east coast regional forums over on Netweather and people seem very disappointed with the scarcity of shower activity so far. Little or no lying snow in much of Yorkshire for instance.

I'm also on the Northside of Cork City and it's just cold rain here.

First signs of life in the Irish Sea now. Small shower should be making landfall around Portmarnock/Baldoyle in north Dublin shortly. Another passing between Navan and Kells and another in the Irish Sea which formed near the IOM which looks like making landfall between Julianstown and Drogheda. That one is building in both size and intensity. This could be the beginning of a LONG night!

I see that some people are saying that high winds will have the potential to limited the number of streamers coming off the :DIrish Sea. Why is this?

I will be up the 3Rock and Tickknock tomorrow morning for a photo opportunity. If we get a nice bit of snow this will be the third time we have had pleasing amounts of snow this year. Is the 3Rock and Dublin/ Wicklow hills Ireland's snow capital?

Went up Kippure today, some snow lying above the low cloud but the wind chill was awesome. Gauge in the jeep said the temp was 0c before I set off but it felt like minus double figures. Face was numb after a few moments and struggled to take photos. Wind took me off my feet once or twice with the ice up there. Some great ice formations on the fences and structures. Home now and ready for the main event....

UK4 might be wrong, but I don't know if I'd say it's likely to be wrong. It's a high resolution model that seems to be doing quite well picking up on the North Sea shower activity happening at the moment. Not sure why it would be getting that right but then be wrong about the Irish Sea?

All we can do is look at the models and then compare them to reality, so we'll see.

Just to clear something up as there's a few differing reports coming in from Cork

1) It is snowing here (500 feet up) - not sticking yet anyway
2) Its sleet / wet snow in most of hilly Cork
3) Rain / Sleet at sea level

This talk of cold rain is a nonsense!!

Let's hope the radar keeps going as we are about half a degree away from some fun

I'm in mid Cork here and it's been snowing persistently for the last hour and a half. Small flakes and it is sticking. Should be good fun trying to get to work in the morning if it holds up!

mothel

sleeting here in cork , with a change over to snow expected in the next 2/3 hours . snow showers are forecast to form over the irish sea and get blown inland as the night progresses . there may be subsidence issues i am noticing that may hampers shower activity though.
