Bit of snow in cork city and it's sticking to cars a bit, stopped again though

I think Ive been following this thread and the technical one for nearly a week now and I have to say the predictions and forecasts so far have been extremely accurate..

Well done to all those who have kept us all informed and up to date

As for those from cork know the northside of the city is a joy to get out of in a morning where there is snow. Old finbarr could have built the city so where for jaysus sake.

Not a huge amount yet in Sandyford - still the odd flurry. However, what fell at 6pm has stayed as the temp has dropped to between 0 and 1c.

Yes, Eastern and Southern counties mentioned.

MTs update,


Snow is likely to become heavier and more widespread after midnight, with present scattered outbreaks continuing to drift west, while more extensive sea-effect streamers will form as colder air aloft reaches the Irish Sea and the wind gradient picks up overnight. Would not be surprised to find 5 to 15 cm snowfalls in Leinster by the morning commute.

Little change to earlier forecast from new guidance, will just mention that Wednesday likely to see continuing widespread snow showers, heavy at times, and further accumulations 10 to 20 cm, tapering to trace amounts to 3 cm on west coast. The main reason for the update was to give any new perspectives on the Thursday-Friday snow potential and whether that would change over to rain at least in the south. The latest guidance seems slightly more supportive of the idea that heavy snow would continue well into Friday and any change would be limited to south coast, most of lower elevation Kerry and perhaps a few places a little further north (inland) but the snow would end without much if any liquid precipitation or thawing, although temperatures may creep up slightly on the weekend allowing a slow erosion of the snow depths likely to be attained by mid to late Friday.

So at this point I am still thinking blizzard-like heavy snow is possible and 20 to 50 cms may accumulate over that period, but as we should have better guidance available by the morning and we still have Wednesday's significant event to come, there is a wide range of possible outcomes for snow, best bet is around 25 cms on the average (10 to 15 further northwest) in many places and 40 cms not uncommon in central and southeast Leinster.

Next update will be the morning forecast at the usual time (0700h to 0730h).

As mentioned earlier, there is definitely a snow train/streamer developing in the north Irish Sea. It's currently looking like delivering to parts of North Dublin, south Meath and north Kildare....assuming it continues developing and stays in its current trajectory.

Being caught in a snow train is too good!

what the hell!

Nothing northside cork city yet.
