Cold Spell Phase 2 (Wednesday onwards)

ive been watching these forums with great interest and fun. I must say, some of you, really know your weather.

If you cant stand the dissapointment, then log off maybe...:)

I love it, and am praying that Supercell declares snow for Lucan

So lads, what's the consensus for snow on the east coast tonight, tomorrow morning? Will it be cold enough? Will we get precipitation?

Thanks:)

Im not confident of snow tonight.

I think there's probably already close to 5 foot above maybe 600 metres, heaven knows what its like above 800 metres on the likes of Lug, must genuinely be an avalanche risk in places.
I don't think they meant 5 foot of snow from this coming event, at least i hope so (I hope they do ).

Do you think there is a risk of avalanches on lug? When is the last time there was an avalanche in wicklow i wonder?

SpitfireIV

My DP is dropping but veryyyyyyyyyyy slowly, 'tis 1.5c now. The only bit of sneachta left here is a sorry looking solid lump of clear/white ice that was once a snowmans ass!

Google answered that question. The last time someone died in an avalanche in Ireland was in 1863 in wicklow. Some family were buried in their cottage it seems :eek:

Three people were killed in an avalanche in scotland only last month, on the 25th.
I'm surprised it wasn't on the news, or was it?

TRIBUTES HAVE been paid to the two brothers from Northern Ireland who died with another man in an avalanche in the Scottish Highlands.
John Murphy (63), Portrush, and Eamonn Murphy (61), Carrickfergus, both Co Antrim, and Brian Murray (46) Monifeith, Tayside, Scotland, were caught up in the avalanche in blizzard conditions on Buachaille Etive Mor, near Glencoe, about noon on Saturday

Anyway, sorry for going off topic, just thought they might find that interesting.

hi ya all - beautiful sights driving over the m50 today. bray is a dp .6 temp 5.1 so i think anything you lot have thought me over the last wek is gone out the window lol

DOCARCH

Belmullet, Malin Head and Derry are reporting sleet.

nacho libre

well, if Derry is reporting sleet then it's just as i feared that any precipitation we got from this front would not be snow from the start. no doubt it will turn to snow before its about to finish.

pistolpetes11

Have a temp of 0.9 and a DP of -1.1 now

embee

Anyone? Chances of snow in Co Louth?

It was well reported on the news. Two of those who died were actually Irish.

Sleet/rain here in Letterkenny now. Not that heavy either

Gonzo

nothings gonna happen tonight methinks, that precipitation will be lucky to survive as drizzle by the time it reachs here.

gowayyalanger

Snow heavier in letterkenny now. Cars and roofs whitening up. Not sticking to streets or pavements.
