    The green is a -9 , the white is -16/-17 and the purple is -18/-19

    Has -9 on green if you look closely at it

    I presume that's Fahrenheit? If not....:eek::D

    A zonal flow as flat as a pancake for next Tuesday!
    I think flooding in E.Europe will be in the news next week, with rivers frozen solid the snow melt will have nowhere to go?Recm1201.gif

    Time to get the sand bags ready?
    Look how far east the 546 dam line is in Eastern Europe!

    2 questions

    1.) What is the "546 dam line"?

    2.) Sand bags ready. Explain?

    My guess is warmer temperatures will melt all the snow still lying on the ground.

    The Dam line is the height of the 500mb level above sea level which varies depending on how cold or warm the lower atmosphere is.
    A sub 528 dam is generally required for snow but the 546 is usually in the vicinity of Ireland in winter and not so far east.
    We need blue colours over Ireland for any decent winter weather. This chart is a perfect example. (see graph on right of chart)

    snow on the ground melts quickly but ice on rivers takes much longer. There was serious flooding in the UK in March 1947 because of this.

    The ECM would say yes, but the gfs have none of it, If it dose happen its going to be a shock to the system after this week.

    God I hope not, weather in dublin is absolutely beautiful atm, some of the clearest skies I've ever seen, sun spitting the rocks, no wind, and I'd say its about 20 degress out side now. In my shorts, tshirt and fli flops right now:D Would ate if it got colder, if it even does happen it wont be the proper snow and will melt quickly, long live the nice hot weather hopefully all summer long!

    Dont think it will be a snow fest, just a lot colder than we have right now:)

    hopefully this will only be a brief spell of colder weather before it turns better again, then again I dont mind a crap April as long as July and August turn out decent.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,016 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    FI I know but I feel a "sting in the tail" is inevitable. A white Easter perhaps?
    PS. I mentioned a snowfall in April '98 in a previous post but in fact it was the night of April 14-15 1999 when several cms fell.

    Seen this online
    The Postman Forecaster said this.

    “People will laugh at me but I think we could have another cold snap just yet.

    “Getting heat like this so early is never good and I think it could turn quite cold again fairly soon

    I put all my winter gear away and now there is a possibility of cold weather again.

    You might want to have a look for them, Looks like Easter could have a chill to it. Or the easter snow bunnies might make an appearance :)

    As much as I want to believe it I doubt it will happen. Just one final tease until the end of the year.
