    Oh thats low. Thats really low. There should be rules about using that photo. Sick and wrong.

    I think it's safe to say you'll see a few flakes at least Min. :) Hope you don't get it too bad up there.

    Can't keep avoiding it forever.

    Last winter was the least snowiest winter we had here, the most we got was in December 2011, where we got a dusting of snow.
    So far this winter is breaking that record, don't think it will last.

    Here's the GFS accumulated precip chart out to Tuesday. I can see why they might be worried. Ireland and Wales gets most of the precip while England and Scotland have the colder air. Why can't we all just share!;)

    If it all fell as snow in Wicklow/Wexford, there'd be more than 40cm snow lying by Tuesday.

    It gets so cold the Atlantic freezes and it has accumulations too :P

    That graphic is a poor ramp :pac:

    The 12Z UKMO fax charts haven't updated past 72 hrs over on meteociel. Is this correct? Are they not available past this time?


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    I suppose it all adds to the drama of the snow chase.

    It wouldn't be the same!

    GFS also marginally further west.

    And usually the 18z has a tendency to shift east.

    Morning runs will be much more telling.

    Bit of a ramp from MT over on Netweather.

    Wow, we are seeing some fairly significant cold even without the full synoptics in place, if my idea about February being core of the cold signal is still valid, we may be entering into a 6-7 week period of intense cold with possibly just one brief reversal before deeper cold sets in. That brief reversal seems most likely to happen near end of January. Looking at the current synoptics, strong high pressure north of eastern Siberia could be nudged westward by effects of rising heights over western North America. There has been a deep (930s to 940s) low nibbling away at the base of this Siberian-arctic high for several days now, and in my research, a stronger retrograde signal develops in February.

    There is tremendous potential in the current situation for an epic cold (and therefore probably snowy as well) period lasting from this spell to first week or ten days of March. If we start to see any signs in 10-15 day output of building high pressure in northwest Russia or Finland then I would say look out for record cold to move west. Looking at the way these rather weak synoptics have maxed out for snow and cold, can you imagine if we get -10 uppers moving across the North Sea later this winter?

    GFS of course seems to be lukewarm to idea of further cold this month and that could prove true, it matches my research output closer than the current ECM or GEM, but at this point for me it's all about February's potential and how that actually plays out. I am of curious now to see whether this is a case of cold coming early or just a huge signal starting to appear. If it's the latter then even 1947 could find itself with a rival, certainly 1895 and 1855 may have to move over a space.

    Even the dodgy 18z GFS showing rain turning to snow from the east late Friday into Sat AM :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,009 ✭✭✭Tom Cruises Left Nut


    Decent upgrade at +60 !


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,134 ✭✭✭✭maquiladora


    Are people expecting countrywide snow on Friday or something? :confused: Very confused by the posts on here.

    Even the very latest GFS is only showing -4 uppers getting into N.I. at 1am Saturday.

    All I see is the potential for the rain to turn to snow late Friday in the northeast, maybe not even in the republic.

    Sunday has more potential though. But today is only Wednesday...

    Hi MAQ.

    I am talking about the rain front turning back to snow from the north-east late Friday into Saturday. The forecast didn't even mention any prospect of sleet or snow when it is clearly in the charts.

    I think mt is talking about britain....surely he would have wrote that in here aswell if it was for us....i know its not a ramp im only giving an opinion...sorry


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,134 ✭✭✭✭maquiladora


    18Z GFS is an upgrade so far in the near term.

    Still has that monster 940mb low though.

    Yeah I see the possibility for sure, but it is going to be mostly rain everywhere Friday before that. From some of the comments here you'd think it wasn't going to rain at all.

    Anyway, good to see the GFS upgrading.

    Small retreat of the uppers at +90. Important bits coming up............

    You know you've reached your wits end when you're shouting 'You Fcuking Liar' at Gerry Murphy at 9:31 p.m. on a Weds night. The wife even had to come in to tell me to calm down.

    I'm going to have to go for therapy soon.
    Or when you watch the Wonga.com advert and the bow on the old woman's blouse reminds you of a NAE snow chart. I am getting seriously worried about myself. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,134 ✭✭✭✭maquiladora


    Latest NAE showing rain turning to snow in N.I. Friday.

    Jaysus, that's pretty bad alright :D

    Speaking of NAE snow charts, here's the 18z for 36hrs. Further upgrade for the NE.

    Edit: Maq was faster ;)
