It would also be great for me to get my homework done here than keep procrastinating and looking at the charts or threads .

Never going to happen in somewhere like Ireland unfortunately, bar some sort of ice age. :P That's just the nature of our climate, being as maritime and Atlantic-dominated as it is.

Could you put it down as science and Geography study?

If your input here is anything to go by you'll sail through it anyway.

When yis say day one, is that referring to Monday the start of the cold weather? And day nine is nine days after that? And so on and so forth?

If you look at the charts, the Date they apply to is posted on one of the corners of the chart

Usually the 'day 9' means 9 days from the date the run was generated., that chart was generated today and day 9 relates to 02/03/18

Sryanbruen you are making me feel so so old, and very dumb when it comes to the weather, scary to think how good you will be a weather forecasting in 10 or more years time, the next M.T in the making

Some flip-flop there, by being this far west I managed to compress it all into five minutes.

That polar high is now over Franz Josef Land at 1043 mbs. There's a weak almost dead low drifting southwest ahead of it at 1015 mbs close to Murmansk. I think some of the model confusion is in trying to resolve how this dead low proceeds when the strong high reaches land. These disturbances moving southwest over Britain, North Sea or Ireland are basically by-products of this current set-up and might be taking on a second life thanks to the warmth of the North Sea. They would also be the best chance for a snowfall event that is anything beyond Irish Sea streamers.

Don't wish that on the young man, perhaps he will be blessed with a normal life.

He could be the right man to take over your research in the future

Try running your own business , after 10 hours working you realise you have feck all done , and all you team are waiting for you next move but your still knee deep in the charts

I know we’re all hoping for snow but I do think the cold is as impressive. Leaving the snow aside are we still on track for anything up near -8 to -10 or am I way off.

Gfs for next Thursday/Friday showing a lot of snow coming in from Finland over Scotland and covering us too it’s seems very dry up to that point though.

Good quotes:
This time next week spring will feel very far away
Likely to be the coldest air over the UK for some years
"We Could see snow coming at us from almost any direction, risk of significant snow causing disruption"

Is Ireland the only country that needs to know the weather forecast every minute of the day,? Why? who cares? not that we get much say in the matter, ----might rain, is raining, sooner the better we get our 3 weeks of sun that we call Summer.

That was a brilliant explanation.

And even when it does snow heavily its usually how many hours until its melting or starts turning slushy

Yes it’s just Ireland. The only country in the whole world where weather matters. No really. It is.

IMO does not seem to be much precipitation showing up in the charts Mon/ Tues apart from streamers along the East coast perhaps if they get going, and as was mentioned by MT perhaps a disturbance something like shown in the chart below developing over the North Sea drifting down over us could provide snow over a wider area ( North of the country in this run) . These charts will evolve over the coming days and only show the true potential closer to the time as the models pick up the finer details. The cold looks certain anyway until about Thurs and a chance of it continuing into the weekend also I would have thought.
