Sunday/Monday midnight


Precipitation type here

Upper air temps here. Note that the uppers (in this case circa 1500 metres) need to be in and around the -5c mark for snow to fall. -8 to -10 is preferable but the already cold landmass will contribute to snowfall.

Yes. that's what it says Leahyl but that will change every run between now and Sunday. I recommend for your own sanity logging off boards until saturday. If you do not then you will go crazy tormenting yourself. If precip falls on sunday in cork it will be snow. Stiff easterly breeze, favourable upper air temps, 1-2c in cork....you will be fine.

Cold, clear night here in West Limerick.

Still looking forward to the next snow flake we get (I'm being optomistic I know but hey I'm really a big kid at heart:D)

How you all doing gang?

Is the end of the line for snow potential for a while?
