Sorry! The phone wasn't up to much. DSLR is knackered. You'll have to take my word for it! Twas cold and you couldn't even see the mast lights right at the gate.

Was there snow at Military Road level or only up the road to the mast?

Mycroft H

At 10.30 there was snow at military road, around 8 there wasn't. I'd say there was snow up the road to the mast from the early evening. There was bootprints around the bridge about half way up. On the way back it petered out near glencree and once you climbed towards the feather beds there was a covering of snow again.

On the top there was enough to cover the grass entirely and throw a few snowballs about. I'd say about 1.5-2cm

From Ian k. Fergusson on Netweather- First tentative whiff of height rises over/near Greenland in EC 12z clusters beyond circa 21 Dec (and out to T+360) with resultant hints of possible northerly flow regime for UK. Baby-steps....We expect there to be a possible lag period before this sort of outcome emerges further in EC with any stronger definition, but still too far off to warrant anything 'excitable' by way of forum reaction, I stress.

Are you KIDDING?!?


This thread was started in *August* ... it would want to be 30C outside with no clouds and STILL someone here would be saying "I think there's something interesting building off Norway"!

Nice input

I'm back for my yearly snow roller-coaster. Looking forward to it.

Perhaps a bit early to warrant a thread of its own but if the GFS is to be believed then there is fairly decent chance of widespread snow on Thursday evening and night. Going by the latest charts it would appear that there could be a fair bit of lying snow in many parts of the country on Friday and maybe Saturday as temperatures are currently forecast to barely get higher than 0c on both days in midland, northern and eastern areas, away from coasts with corresponding very cold nights which would undoubtedly also mean treacherous road conditions.

Anyone else think that something interest could be afoot?

I seriously think this winter is f**king with me!

I bought a jeep and various other bits and pieces for snow chasing about 3 weeks ago and the head went on it last week and it's currently in the garage being fixed

Snow it is so!!! But seriously, your neck of the woods looks like getting a pasting from Thursday evening onwards, going by the current charts. Will the jeep be sorted in the next few days?

Been following the charts and I've already cancelled going to the staff do on Friday night because of the potential snow.

Jeep probably won't be fixed until next week (head is away being pressure/cracked tested at the minute) plus the fact the bill is £600+ I'll not be able to pay until end of next week either!

But I do have another car, so I'll be out and about in that chasing the snow

Hoping to get more of this this year...

Anyone living near Galtymore and if so, is there any snow on it?

Light dusting of snow on upper slopes of the Galtees and Knockmealdowns

Some lamp post watching scheduled for tonight...

According to Met Eireann: Later this evening and for a time overnight it will be mostly cloudy, with outbreaks of rain turning heavy in southern counties with some sleet mixed in the rain. The north and northwest will have clear spells and scattered showers of rain, sleet and snow and this will spread to all parts overnight. Ice will develop on untreated surfaces as temperatures fall to between freezing and minus 3 degrees, coldest in the north

Also - can't believe how quiet this thread is - with a possibility of snow on the horizon. Where is everyone?

I can't post links as new user forbids me but check out netweather weather radar and select weather type on. Rain has turned to sleet across the whole of Ulster, hopefully some snow starts kicking in.

Yes and on that note netweather tweeted that the Green denotes Rain or Snow and not sleet as I assumed. So anyone in the green maybe getting pasted

Ian k Ferguson "EC 12Z clusters move more off +ve NAO into atlantic ridge and/or blocked scenarios post-22 Dec with northerly regime possible by 26th. Clearly too far off for any confidence and more continuity required, but recent tentative suspicion GloSea might be ahead of game by late Dec signal could yet become reality. However, long way to go and caution urged."
