Well it's sleeting and wet-snowing below the 200m I predicted, but I don't see any sign of the disruption that was forecast? Maybe from flooding and high winds (ferries cancelled) but I haven't heard of any problems on the roads at low levels in the Republic (yes roads in Donegal, Wicklow, etc,) but at sea level? I've just driven from Tallaght (105m - sleet) to Naas (100m - rain). The majority of the ME stations around the country are reporting rain or sleet, so it's still not the winter whiteout. But there is still time later

Sorry Campu I,m afraid you are wrong. I Drive for a living and today is the first time all winter i had to stop conditions here a serious some minor roads are a no go.

Don't know what that means. Certainly not an indication of my academic ability anyway.

Fair enough, if that's at low levels then I am wrong.

You are being quite ignorant here to be honest.

Nobody really expected appreciable snowfall at low levels through this morning and afternoon and you know this by looking at the charts.

I was only repsonding to Darkman's reply which he directed at me regarding getting snow with -4°C 850s. I then finished my reply by acknowledging that it was still early days. If that's ignorant to you then sorry, wasn't supposed to be. I've already admitted this morning that I underestimated things, what more do you want?!

No criticism from me anyway. I think anybody who sticks there neck out with regard to weather forecasting should not be criticised (especially amateurs). Models and models and that's all.

Btw, temps starting to fall back a little here now. 2.5c DP 2.1c atm. Sleet interspersed with bursts of wet snow.

Su Campu & Darkman,

Differing interpretations of what is going to happen make it all the more interesting for us of little meterelogical knowledge here - I'm sure the Eagle and Jean Byrne have big arguments about what is coming. Fair play to both of you - whoever is sometimes right or wrong - keep up the good work.

Paul Cunnigham in his hat?

I bet Gerry Murphy is insanely jealous of jean's dresses and he dresses up in similar ones at home as he practises his forecasts in the mirror...muttering to himself "I'll show you Jeanie - in your shiny bloody dresses" :pac:

Good sign though, wait for nightfall. Couple of degrees lower will make the difference.
