    Its going to be cold enough for snow, no issue there I think we all agree.

    We live in Ireland. It rains when there are no clouds, in the summer, on a day where the forecasters say there is 0% chance of rain, when the rest of Europe is in drought.

    I'm not worrying if there will be precipitation. Im off to get 400kilos of salt for the drive.

    Hey Guys,

    I'm no expert in weather but have a keen interest. I always love coming on here during winter and read the posts about snow. Just wondering if these charts can be compared to any other cold spells over the past few years or is there a possibility that we could be on the verge of something more like the spells of the 80s / 90s. I cant read weather charts so I rely on Met Eireann and you guys!! There are 2 spells that spring to mind, Christmas Day of 2004 and the second I think was Novemeber in 2005, how does the coming weekend comapre to these? The reason I ask is because here in Dublin we did quite well!!

    Keep up the good work, Looking forward to a weekend of interesting and hopefully snowy weather!!

    Just from glancing through some of the posts here you would get the impression there was a severe cold spell on the way. It will certainly be prolonged by our standards, but perhaps a little wasted so early in the season. I hope there wont be too much dissapointment if it doest quite deliver to expectations. :)
    I dont really want to say this and I hope Im wrong but I really feel this event will be only borderline cold enough for snow for most of us. Those of us high ground could do much better of course.
    The Western half of the country will get some of the coldest air between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning and any showers could be mostly of snow, even at low ground.
    Otherwise, in the Eastern half of the country, any showers will be mostly of wet snow or sleety rain with the coldest air not expected until Monday or Tuesday.
    Apart from a possible organised feature in the East on Sunday/Sunday Night I feel the most likely places to see the most showers will be the North Mayo coast and Donegal. Wexford and South Wicklow may also do well if the winds are just the right direction.
    This is just my interpretation of this mornings' model runs. Of course there is still time for all this to change one way or the other.:o

    Charts look cracker today with a lot more precip around especially Sunday into Monday.
    Still not sure about snow falling on coasts but a few miles inland should get a good covering.
    Good stuff all the same.

    Hello , Im kippure, Im some what of a lurker here, and a snow addict.... i just read what pee,s are saying. You,ll find that the people on borads are sound as a euro....
    Hope you get your snow, i think we will all see snow over the next week or so.

    All ready tempetures are dropping and dew points are coming close to zero to! Fun times and model watching ahead.

    K.

    Good to hear Kippure. Yep, I first saw the forum during the October cold spell. It does appear that we are in for very cold weather over the next few days.
    Does anybody know exactly what the One O' Clock broadcast stated regarding wintry precip chances in Ireland over the next few days.

    I see that Knock is already recording recent snow.

    already:eek:

    it will be interesting to hear how much accumulated snow the likes of supercell and ch750536 will record over this cold period given the height at which they both live at.

    Had a shower here a while ago with a few white fleks falling as it finished. Increasingly distrubed looking skies now, but little if any precipitation. 4.8c.

    Good stuff, hope you take some pics during the coming snow event (and post them up in the weather photo's forum!), I reckon Sunday could be pretty white for us.

    Its looking quite cold then for the weekend.

    However I'm not sure about precip chances.
    Sky News seem to suggest snow showers along coastal fringes for tomorrow, Friday.

    Some interesting weather ahead though. :)

    Welcome Snowaddict , i'd say your a bit of a hero on this site ;) , some (just a few) very big ego's on TWO , it's like a war zone there at times but lets face it some of them don't like us , as a total amateur i am very much looking forward to your contribution here in the future .

    I also find it hard to believe that Brian is leaving that site , a bit like leaving the pram in the town park and running away ,( unless there is another pram on the other side of town :rolleyes: .)

    Back on topic , just had a slight shower of rain/hailstones so hoping for something more 'wintery' in the next few nights:D:D:D.

    looks like western half of Ireland and most of Scotland is best places to be over next few days, thats where the coldest weather will be and most of the showers. Hopefully we'll get lucky in the east, most of England and Wales looks like there gonna miss out this time but things look better for eastern areas by Monday/Tuesday
