Sorry this is a bit off topic but does anybody else find it difficult to cope with daily life, such as an essay which is due Friday!!!I just cant sit down and do it with these amazing charts!!!
Dublin needs a serious pasting when was the last time there was lying snow on O'Connell street or along the Four Courts out of interest? Seen a few videos on youtube recently, of streets in Belfast been buried in snow on the 3rd of January amazing!
Ah no, it happens to all the hardened snow fanatics:D
Sure i failed my Maths mock with flying colours last year thanks to the prospect of snow! quite similar to this too! It ended in tears!!
As for the Cold Snap.
I really can't comment anymore, things are very uncertain at this stage, GFS and UKM are far apart in there predictions for Friday.
GFS has the occlusion far west, while UKM has the occlusion far east.
The best scenario would for it to fall in between these predictions.
This would give the east coast a pasting of power snow rather than the potential for sleet if the GFS came off

IMBYism is fantastic!
Now I want the GFS outcome to come off, as I would deem the midwest to benefit most from a combination of precipitation and lower dewpoints! I have a feeling though, given the synoptics that it may go more eastwards and westwards as the greater instability will be nearer to the main LP.
However, I disagree with the MetO predicted location of the LP on Saturday. I think it will slide southwards closer to Scotland en route to Scandi. That might force any secondary lows on a more westwards route.
On the other hand, the MetO-backed scenario would be more conducive to front-stalling on Sunday what with a more beefy ridge in the north Atlantic. This HP would also lift the wind speeds a little, leading to more occlusion and a greater chance of snow:)
You should all see the weather type chart for Friday on met.ie! It's rather black and white, to say the least

Will it , won't it? Ha ha....Poor Gerald Fleming
Do you reckon there will be much action tomorrow night?
I feel like a child on Christmas eve!
There'll be plenty of action here in Annamoe as I run in and out the front door every five mins to check the clouds and see if anything's falling from the sky!!
In between that i'll be looking at satellite maps every few mins to seek any hints of commas as Wc likes to call 'em developing
No-one knows for sure wheter the midlands and east will see snow tomorrow...anything could happen - feck all or a winter wonderland for all!!
One things for sure, this time tomorrow we'll all be climbing the walls!Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/

Update
Before i hit the hay
My update after taking the 18z into consideration.
Firstly there seems to be an increased risk of wintry weather tomorrow afternoon.
After the passage of the from tomorrow AM, bitter winds will feed in from the NW, showers will turn wintry towards 3pm, and i would not be surprised to see widespread light snow showers tomorrow evening.
It will be followed by a hard freeze everywhere, temperatures down to -2c and dewpoints to -5c.
A comma will wind up in the north/ northwest of Ireland and trek southeast through Friday AM, reaching Dublin by around 9am, snow will become heavy at times and will stick, dewpoints may rise to 0c towards around 4pm which may allow the snowpack to melt a little, artic air will push in behind with a hard freeze by 5pm with light snow flurries following.
Temperatures down to -5c on Friday night with scattered snow flurries.
Overall model guidance suggests that around 10/15mm of precipitation will fall in the Dublin region, this would suggest that 10cm of lying snow is likely across much of Leinster during Friday. Temperatures may rise to 2c at times during Friday.
Also to note is that winds are expected to be quite strong, 35mph means gusting 55mph along the east coast, temporary blizzard conditions are possible, the wind will be icy blowing from the NW across snowfields.
It is a similar set up to Pancake Tuesday February 27th 2001, obviously not identical. 850hpas were marginal then and the wind was off the Irish sea.
This is why i am confident that after a hard frost on Thursday night, snow will fall and not rain during Friday 0 -

Me too, I won't get out of bed for anything less than 4 inches. I am getting a bit scared though, according to 'weathercheck' above, all the action seems to limited to the east. That certainly ties in with the GFS forecast.
No, im just being Nimby! Sorry
Your gonna get as continius stream of snow showers!
Although probably now Polar low
i reckon a good 3 inches.0 -
