    Latest BBC news 24 forecast looked at next week and has a huge swathe of the southern half of Ireland including meath under snow as a battleground system comes in next week

    It shows rain only on the south coast and looked like it swept away SE leaving Ireland on its cold side,is that not interesting enough ?

    If that ends up happening that would be great but alot can change over the coming week. Currently the KMA is hinting towards this with air that just might be cold enough if we could upgrade the cold a little bit more.

    The above shows low pressure sliding southeastwards dragging in an easterly wind but there is some atlantic mixing going on so hard to tell if this would be a snow event or more of a wet wintry mix.

    -4 to -6 uppers above which suggests wintry precipitation but unlikely to be lying snow away from areas well inland and higher ground. After this we become colder again out to the end of the run and the heights over southern Europe get pushed down into Africa which is promising.

    The takeaway statement on the deep dive video linked above is when they're talking about the battleground, all the suggestions are slider lows

    What they said was that next weeks battleground could be the start of many and that this could be the pattern to the end of January, meaning you might get swathes of GB under snowfalls with ever decreasing temps there feeding us with extremely cold surface air more or less guaranteeing that what falls here in showers or at the edge of fronts is snow,am I ramping enough now?

    Ah sure we love a good ramp but depends on how steep that ramp is!!

    It's wedges make sledges forecasting territory so.

    My feeling is that sliding lows will be initially forecast as much further north than their final position.

    I just hope we don't end up in some messy slushfest rubbish. I'd nearly prefer rain to that crap. Fingers crossed we don't.

    I am not sure, if they keep coming I think some will make it further north at times. Blackbriar mentioned ramping, so in that spirit I will say we could end up in a 1947 esque position- repeated frontal snow events for a while ,or one big slushfest. I fear the latter, we could be wet much of the time while the Midlands and northern England are white.

    Dublin live: weather experts( if only) say a winter to rival 1947 is on the way 😄

    Enjoying the technical charts and nerdy weather stuff here, stuff I'm pretty clueless about. I don't like the cold that much so I feel for you all, your little hearts will be broken when all we get is a few zoomed in pictures from a phone camera of a hill in Donegal in the distance with some snow on it while England is neck deep in the stuff. It's always the same!

    Icon looking better.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,985 ✭✭✭BLIZZARD7


    Yep ! Profile over Greenland much better and deep cold arriving Sunday night…



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,504 ✭✭✭SpitfireIV


    I can imagine the headlines now when it arrives!


    'Record snowfall right across country as traffic chaos ensues!'


    'Worst snowfall in living memory as continuous disruptive snow turns country to winter wonderland!'


    And those are the UK headlines, meanwhile in Ireland it's raining 🤣



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,500 ✭✭✭Reckless Abandonment


    Quite the difference on the icon 6z and 12z still looks dry away from North.

    The ICON

    Significant upgrade on the 00z primarily due to a flattened azores.low, improved.block.ans better angle on incoming cold

    Icon unleashes a huge upgrade compared to its previous run ..not a bad start is it!😊




  • Registered Users Posts: 2,232 ✭✭✭waterwelly


    Met.ie showing -4 for Thursday 18th.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,500 ✭✭✭Reckless Abandonment


    Icon and ukmo look great. Gfs not having any of it, it keeps killing off the GH



  • Registered Users Posts: 788 ✭✭✭Snowbiee21

    ok that could well be a game changer! That poor GFS tho! Serious game changing upgrades is what we seriously needed today! I just hope the GFS has gotten things very badly wrong with their current output.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭sicknotexi


    The UKMO has given serious upgrades, so has the ECM and ICON. Good day for coldies.



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,753 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    I feel tonight's ECM could be a crucial run- aren't they all. If we see the ECM move towards the GFS it will be disappointing. The UKMO run seems a slight move to the GFS to me, but it looks very good initially. If the ECM stays steadfast, then it's more likely the GFS will begin an incremental backtrack on the pub run or tomorrow morning.

    It's great to see the pink hue to the sky again. Fantastic walking weather altogether. If we can't get snow this is the second best thing.
