Looks increasingly likely the slightly milder spell will be very temporary indeed as a very cold continental flow returns as pressure builds to the North




Still 6 days out so not completely certain but a rerun can't be ruled out!

Could be what we are in store for next week.

It's the first shower. It's light but persistant and sticking.

she said we're nearly at the end of the snow and that it will get warmer towards the weekend. It'll just be really cold and frosty.

Now, the only thing is, thats coming from RTE

-4 to -9 tonight, 0 to 3 tomorrow. No more snow really to come. Thursday warmer with a thaw, 3 to 5, more frost thursday night friday up to 7 or 8 degrees, more thaw. No rain or snow to come except northern areas tonight might have sleet and hail.

Heaviest snow of the cold spell so far being reported in Letterkenny & Ballybofey withing the last hour. All clear here in Donegal Town (:rolleyes:.....so far)

really?
It would take a lot to beat the foot of snow in the gap last week though.

ECM from Sunday on (120hrs) is extraordinary for people who like the current sort of weather



Very cold at night - frost and ice - not too cold be day, 5 or 6C.


Monday 144hrs




Slack Easterly established again. Getting increasingly cold with wintry showers into the East

Tuesday 168hrs




More hail/sleet showers in the East turning to snow. Temperatures struggling 2 - 4C. Dry in most places though but very frosty and icy inland.

Wednesday 192hrs



Heavier snow showers in the east and north and further inland - temperatures not getting above freezing by day in many places like recently. Again ice and frost an issue. Not too windy though so windchill not too bad.


After that it goes a bit mad in terms of cold for later next week - may aswell post but won't bother commenting

216hrs




240hrs





It's just a possibility at this stage. Not certain by any means.

Hi darkman, any chance of a quick explanation of those last two charts?

Harps

Looking likely that the milder weather will only last a few days then, looks quite similar to last week after that

As for the present, theres some really nice looking showers on the way here soon, if the next one hits us right it could give sustained heavy snow for well over an hour. This could be a great night if the showers become more regular as they seem to be at the moment

Hi darkman, any chance of a quick explanation of those last two charts

Despite this cold period not even surpassing 1987 in terms of snow depths in Bray, I think its safe to say it has surpassed 1982 for most in Leinster.
With a reboot/reload seeming increasingly likely after the imminent partial thaw, do or can the experts say whether they think this Winter could rival the most famous Winters of all, ie. 1947 and 1963??

As for streamers tonight. If they do form and Bray ends up in a gap or in the IOM shadow again, I swear to God I am going to go postal. I'm a spoilt child like in that I don't mind not getting it as long as 5 minutes up or down the road doesn't get it either. However when Greystones on the other side of Bray head or carrickmines say 3 minutes up the m50 gets snow measured in feet and Bray only gets accumulations of 3-4 inches with no significant snow since Sunday November 29th(yes, you heard that right)...well It tests my patience to the absolute limit.

To conclude....I think its fair to say that I...Calibos, am this years OwenC :D:D

Its all White from Carrick to Glencolmcille I heard.

I would interpret the last one (17 December) as glaciers generally advancing from all mountainous areas into the surrounding lowlands, sea levels dropping hundreds of feet and a re-emergence of the landbridge between Ireland, Britain and continental Europe............

It does look rather bracing over Scandinavia though doesn't it!

Last two charts = o jebus save me from the ice age
They wont verify like that, but is incredible viewing.
