    Is this the winter storm M.T was talking about, if so its strange for the models to pick up something like this so far out.

    Yep this is it, there definitely will be a lot of change over the next coming days but ye, its there thats the main thing.

    SHould we start a warning thread soon, not for the snow lovers ( that shouldnt go up till the week of the event ) , but just to warn people it could happen and to stock up while the " thaw" settles in?

    Might be a good idea. Suppose its up the mods.

    surely it's far too early yet? not doubting MT's prediction but it is well into the future and no need to cause to undue panic just yet.

    i should work for met eireann!

    :eek: that chart is just weather porn! If that even remotely came to pass it would be a legendary event and the south would definetely get a good dumping of snow for once. Pity its in FI though!:rolleyes:

    I'd put my faith in MT more than I would in an FI chart, but when the two start to coincide, then hey who knows, 'legendary' may just come to pass!!

    I would say hold off on a warning tread just now, yes all the signs are there for another cold spell from middle to end of next week, but I would be worried about the timing of any severe weather event for Ireland as these things have a habit of been pushed back as we get closer to reliable time frame,
    But the models are showing some amazing stuff all right

    Fantasy Island. Ay charts that are outside of the reliable timeframe and therefore very, very unlikely to pan out exactly as shown.

    What i have learnt in the last few weeks while mainly watching accuweather forecasts is that they always state that when the Jet stream starts to make a big dip , then a storm is likely to form .

    at this stage I want all those FI Charts to so pear shaped! We've had nearly 2 weeks of snow now and last thing we want is to be snow bound before chistmas!

    It's ridiculous how similar the GFS, UKMO, and ECMWF are out to 144hrs, and the ecm and gfs well past that . . .

    A reporter on rte news a few minutes ago said that confidence is high that mild weather will spread across the country from the west on Christmas day bringing a significant thaw to many areas that have ice and snow. He got this information off Gerald Flemming from ME. :(

    Posted in the other thread, both the ECM and UKMO are going with milder weather by christmas.

    Bring it on, the Atlantic needs its day in the sun (or rather low cloud) and double figure temps :)

    The cold weather will last for the forseeable future. It changes all the time but the ECM has it lasting beyond Christmas.

    Gerry Murphy said on the weather for the week winds will back southerly on Christmas day bringing mild air up over the country. So the question is how long is this mild spell going to last if it does happen?
