Cold Spell - Feb 7th to 13th 2021 - Chat

John.Icy

Passing graupel and grains here in D9. Just not getting anything consistent. Even a few more km inland on radar and things are merging into more persistent precip. That's what you need when it's light/moderate. Every time we start to get some dusting going it stops and melts. I think some dustings will come by in the GDA tonight for sure.

Haven't had much time to keep an eye on here today. So are we back on with potentially disruptive frontal snow?

The streamers look to be getting going on a more widespread basis. I know they still look light enough on the radar but a few deeper colours are there also.
Anyone know why this is ??

If you live in Tipp/Kilkenny/Carlow/Wex/Wicklow it will be disurptive.
North of that doesn't look as severe YET

Hopefully everyone gets a share of this

Also don't be surprised (or annoyed) to see another twist or two in this tale before it finishes. We have seen how right up until now, every 12 hours is a U-turn to some extent.

If there over the sea its because its holding more moisture I'm guessing

I hope those winds out there are not too harsh on you

I woke up about four or fine last night and had to check my phone for updates. This is such a good diversion from the boredom and monotony! I love this crisp and cool weather. Fingers crossed for Thurs! I’m a member since 2012. Not a poster but love reading all the posts. Thanks for the entertainment everyone snd for teaching me a lot. Did geography in college .... a long time ago and I’m learning more here ! My sister posted the weather temp on her phone of where she is living in Canada. Wait for it ..... -43!!!!!!

Looks like a fleeting snow event, possibly for literally a few hours.

After all the rain of the past few weeks, a single day (or half day) of snow would be nice.

Hope it makes its way to Naas!

Snow/Graupel mix falling this past half hour in south Roscommon.

Making an effort to stick too, since the ground has dried up/frozen since early evening.

Ye wouldn't be long getting frostbit...:)

fritzelly

Graupel in Dublin city center - heavy shower but its small

gerrybhoy

White out on the streets here in D15,just want one day of real snow for the kids,come on

DOCARCH

Another snow/graupel shower in Dublin 16. 1.0c atm.

If these keep coming the way they have in the last 90 minutes there could be a decent coating by morning.

Oneiric 3

Temp plummeted to zero degrees on the dot here earlier, but rising nicely again now. Phew!

CeeCeeBloom

Decent coverage up high in D24!!

Gave up window watching only when we came to bed we seen it.

More graupel hitting off the window .

P.lane78

Minus 15 forecasted tonight for Scotland on the bbc

All the dry snow we had earlier was blown into edges. Not sure I’m all that keen on dry snow as it doesn’t really stick unless heavy.

Met Éireann nowcast to re-include Dublin yellow warning incoming.

Wine Goddess

Coming down quite heavily in Firhouse Dublin 24!!

Temp here falling -0.1c every few minutes. Don’t know if that’s the colder air MT referred to last night.

wicklowdub

It so random

Out my front window there is nowt, out the back window there is heavy sleet about 50 yards away lashing down.

Shankill D18

cold.stream

Odd heavyish burst of graupel S. Dublin coast. Unfortunately looks like ill probably be on the margins of that line of ppn heading. Could dump a cm or two before the night is over a few clicks in land

Rodar08

White dust covering now with flurries on and off here in N. Donegal (South Inishowen) anyone know if we’re likely to get much from this event? DonegalKen?

Mam of 4

To those getting heavy grauple, hope it turns to heavy snow for ye !
(Not a bit jealous, nope, not me )

Kermit.de.frog

Seem to be the only one in Dublin not getting any snow grauple atm
