    ICON 6z run has Irish Sea streamers popping up overnight on Monday into Tuesday towards the end of its run.

    Can the ICON model streamers?

    I thought that was beyond the abilities of all the models?

    Helen on the RTE weather didn't go past Sunday but said to expect frosty nights over the weekend, there was a nice little snow cloud on the east coast on the graphic at the end for Tuesday though...

    Is it all the sudden traffic on the site or just me that's having problems with pages loading or even connecting with the boards servers?

    The animation shows progression to Monday night of Siberian sourced air mass (temperature @ 1,500 m) down in to Europe, the UK and Ireland. The scale, depth and broadness of the cold in to Europe is highly irregular for it's potency over such a wide area.


    Well on track this morning for very cold weather from Sunday night. We are already starting to draw in the cold surface temperatures from the continent. Humidity is falling and the temperatures will be falling back at night under clear skies. It's a very different feel to what we have experienced previously.

    I think it's a good idea to carry out initial preparations at this point on a just-in-case basis depending on your needs.

    It’s modelling precipitation of some sort, as is the ECM.

    I know the weather app on iPhones is fairly useless at the best of times, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen a forecast like this. :pac::D

    No worse than anyone else, but very unseasonal certainly.

    By Monday / Tuesday you'll be looking at severe frosts right down to the coast, with frost holding on all day in inland and sheltered locations, despite the sunshine and lengthening days.

    Snow potential isnt likely until maybe next Thursday and even then it will depend on where you are, a southeast wind could bring onshore snow to Waterford and Cork, potentially a fair bit on hills. You will know more by next Wedsnesday.

    The missus was laughing at me when I arrived home earlier with yet more coal and logs. I told her "better to have them here than trying to get them next week".
    She's expecting a few flurries and is in for a serious fright next week when this cold beds in over the country.

    Not sure if available for Iphones but the 'WeatherPro' app from Meteogroup is probably the best weather app out there.

    Anyone notice that since both the BBC and RTE changed their graphical outputs, that the weather is becoming more '80s'?

    I wouldn't be surprised to see some dandruff drifting in the air near lampposts from Saturday night.

    I don't remember anything in 1991 either? Maybe I'm just getting old though. :D

    We had an exceptionally heavy fall on the evening of Saturday 9th February in north county Dublin.
    Thursday and Friday had lighter falls, that thawed during the day on the coast , in spite of the brutally cold airmass.

    I'm super confused! I havent a clue tbh but adore following this thread- the cold spell is pretty much a given -right? But precipitation isn't? - at least for a week? and that seems to be an unknown as of yet? So how could snow even begin to start Sat? Every forecast is saying ptretty much dry up to next Wed - no? Hopefully I am missing something/wrong!??! :-)

    I did notice when looking back at the Bill Giles BBC forecast from Feb '86 that someone posted the other day, that the BBC graphics from 32 years ago are actually more clear and legible than the 'upgrade' RTÉ / Met É just gave theirs in 2018
