Colder this week, some wintry/snow showers, widespread frost and ice.

Exactly, a big Euro high for the places you mentioned is like a Greenland high for us ... and we all know which is the most regular occurrence in recent years.

The large area of Irish Sea showers from Dublin southwards is moving just east of south. Another large shower off the SW coast of Isle of Man looks to be moving pretty much due south whilst the showers arriving into the north are moving slightly west of south. As the air continues to stream down from the north, we should begin to see the Irish Sea showers get closer to the coast, probably initially making landfall in eastern Wicklow, probably close to or at Wicklow town. Then further north up the east coast although probably not any further than the Dublin/Meath border, at a guess.

That's if we keep the convection going though but at least darkness makes little difference with these setups.

🫣🤞

Horribly bland grey day in Carlow town, frost has melted off and fog lifted. Yesterday was a far colder (and nicer) day 🤔

Have been keeping an eye out towards the sea from Dublin and the clouds are beginning to get a slight but closer. View looking east and southeast about ten minutes ago

I thought, why is he posting from Malaga?

I just put winter tyres, specifically designed for snow, on my car today. I am moving to Germany in a couple of weeks and needed them.

Hoping that I get to try them out before I head over :)

3c and sunny clear blue sky in the north east.
