    Hi,

    With all the Dublin-centric forecasting out there, could anyone enlighten us In Mayo what the forecast is for our region? It's almost impossible to work it out with the biased forecasting.
    Thank you In advance,

    P
    Reports that Mayo will break off the mainland and form its own island owing to the weight of the snow elsewhere and the chips on locals shoulders- achill annex’s itself from the new independent island and seeks asylum in Galway



    Meanwhile light snow gently falls in Offaly

    FWIW, I know a guy who works quite high up in the airport. Met Eireann latest report to the Daa suggest blizzards to hit north Dublin from 7pm this evening. Hope this is in correct forum.

    Seriously? Have you read or listened to a forecast?

    Of course I have, But met eireann has forecasted scattered showers for tomorrow which I find incredulous, especially with what I am seeing out the window...(blizzard). I come here for accuracy !

    Pic of the last snow flurry coming off the Irish see into Dublin. Snow on the strand is surprisingly deep.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,757 ✭✭✭✭Kermit.de.frog


    There could be further snow in the Dublin area within the next 15 minutes to half an hour.

    Think its due for the night?

    And do we possibly overuse the term once in a lifetime..2010 was also once in a lifetime and that wasn't even ten years ago :pac:

    Don't be cheeky, there's lots of great posters putting in a lot of work bringing people like yourself forecasts. Check out the original post of this thread which is updated with forecasts, or MTC's forecast thread for details, they certainly include all regions in their updates. And pop into the Technical thread for a read of some of the charts, most of which include all of Ireland (don't post chat there though, please).

    If someone decides to post a radar screenshot showing only Dublin, that's because they are interested in that, not because they're making Dublin only forecasts. The precipitation radars are freely available to anyone who wants to click to open them:

    I reckon light/moderate for the next few hours, then after 10pm another explosive set of showers quite similar to last nights.

    Am in the Anglesey shadow :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 777 ✭✭✭Skedaddle


    Think it's time to get home in Cork. The flakes are getting a lot bigger and more intense and the temp is definitely noticiblly dropping.

    There's a significant wind here at the moment too..I suspect there will be drifting in areas where the snow does accumulate this evening.

    Blizzards for a time frame of about 24hrs in Ireland with the potential of a foot of snow in parts of Munster and Leinster - its an extraordinary weather event!


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,181 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Another nice flurry here in West Clare, not settling on gritted roads (thank God one may say), but the fields are a distinct white and there's drifts of 5cm against walls.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,003 ✭✭✭Lucreto


    Horizontal snow in Naas, in blizzard conditions.

    I just gritted the paths so I will see how it holds up.

    The snow shovel finally got some use after 8 years in shortage.

    I have been feeding the birds. Fat balls, seeds, porridge and I left water out but that has now frozen over.

    I have a tree full of berries and a blackbird chasing off all the other birds from it.

    Places like Drogheda could get dumped on tonight, looking at the satellite images it seems that the swing to the north has stopped for now.

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/



  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭Barnavave


    Two feet of snow outside Dundalk

    Is that the Red and Orange areas locked in now or can we expect to see changes?

    Yippeeee


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,757 ✭✭✭✭Kermit.de.frog


    Remember, temperatures going to plunge quickly after dark. Everything will freeze so if you need any essentials better make a dash now.

    Temperatures tonight could fall to below -10c in isolated rural spots with snow cover. -4 or -5c for Dublin.

    Weird how bummed i was seeing the snow slowly melt today, when i'd hoped for it to get even worse.

    It's coming down again though, so i'm in a better mood now :P

    I was alive in 82 but no clear memory of it- this is class.

    Light Snow gently falling again in Tullamore

    I have. The mad thing is in 82 it only snowed for about 24 hrs but it was so heavy and it lasted for about a week it was so cold. Started on the afternoon/evening of Friday 8th January if my memory serves me right. By Saturday morning there was 4 and 5 foot drifts and roads were compacted with snow and reduced to single lane traffic for a couple of days. One of the coldest days ever recorded in these parts was notched in that week too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 397 ✭✭scooby77


    Getting off lightly so far near Sligo town. Only few flakes earlier in South Donegal. Looking at charts on met and technical forum (particularly hirlam) it looks to these untrained eyes that Friday noon onwards could be our ( north sligo/south donegal) trickiest spell snow/travel wise?
