WINTER WEATHER 2013/2014 - See Mod Note First Post

dopolahpec

My call at the moment is for a brief cold snap, followed by some high pressure dominated weather for next 3-7 days, then maybe a brief tame easterly that won't deliver snow followed by an Atlantic breakdown before the next potential cold shot develops. I see that trend in the GFS ensembles anyway which aren't that bad if you watch them a lot and sort of average them out in your mind

Temps tomorrow 5-8 deg, there'll be no Snow, maybe a little on high ground for a time.

Very little snow comes from the North west really and it is generally short lived and wet...day time temperatures are generally too high anyway.

What you need is an Easterly or North- Easterly...that has given very cold periods to the East and North of the country over the past 5 years really in the greater Dublin area anyway from 2008 to 2012 (am hoping it does the same for 2013!!):D:D:D

Showers turning increasingly to sleet and snow across the north and midlands

before you look at this I know its far off, but still can we fantasize and be optimistic

also this is furthest it can go so maybe it could get better after. we can pray to the snow gods.

Outside Newtown but looking out my door there doesn't seem to be too much happening that way....

Weathering

Snowing heavily outside, staring to lye on cars, roofs etc.
I'm 45m asl so not only a high ground event

In the 30-35% band. Here's to hoping!
