Risk Of Severe Wintry Conditions With Strong Winds. (High Risk-Ulster, Connaught)

Weathering

Snows all gone. bad thunderstorm now. winters over every1 we did crap this year,bottom 3 for snowfall in my life. England especially the SE will get snow Sunday/Monday.

Torque.ie

Still lots here on grass, cars & roofs. Sun not melting much for some reason? Winds picked up.

Taken 30 seconds ago. Surprised it's not gone

Still loads of snow here in Carlow. Roads are clearing up now though and the wind has picked up. Sunny but cold as feck at the moment.

Rock Lesnar

Big Thaw on now, 3 degrees. still alot of snow on the grass but not on the driveway, paths and around trees, if it keeps up the lying snow will be gone by evening.

For Waterford maybe

To answer the question-yes of course a northerly can do streamers,into Ulster and mayo and wales.
Sometimes the Irish sea goes mad with them but they stay out at sea or hit wales/sw England.
NNE and they might graze the east

should have asked the question I wanted to ask which was can N wind produce streamers for east coast and you read my mind...wind maps show definite but slight drift from N to NNE overnight.....looking out to sea now there's a procession of cloud marching south and if i'm not mistaken, with a slight NE drift onshore......

had hardly anything here again, barely a cm of snow early this morning, long gone now. Hope this isnt it for this pethetic winter so far, So far since 2010 all we've had here is barely enough snow to write my name on the back of the car. I really hope something decent comes soon as time is starting to run out fast.

Within an hour almost all the snow has melted.

Still freezing in the wind though.

Yeah, its been disappointing in Donegal this year but I think it's too early to throw in the towel just yet.

sorry about that, im just getting fed up with lack of snow/constant dissapointments! All I want for this winter is 2 or 3 days where I can go outside and take a walk with the good crunch of snow beneath my feet, nothing exceptional like 2009/2010 just 3/4 inchs of snow would be perfect.

Ah I know
I feel your pain like nearly everyone here.
Model chasing for snow in Ireland is not good for the nerves!
You should head down the m50 to the Wicklow mtns every now and again for a fix,you'd be there in no length.

Min

Got more snow last night than all of the 2011/2012 winter where we just got a light dusting.
Nearly all melted at this stage.

Aaaaand it's gone, jesus christ that was the quickest snow to come and go.

Is there more forecast for tonight?

A snowy scene in Waterford City this morning but the sun has come out and its all gone now.

Delighted ye got some. Waterford has the most effective snow shield in Ireland I think - and thus I think ye have the greatest fascination with it of all judging at the amount of Blas on here.

Dont think Waterford do as poor as people make out.

I moved here in 2008 and have seen lying snow in Feb 09, Jan 10, Nov/Dec 10 and for the first time in a non easterly direction Feb 2013 (short lived of course). Winter 11/12 was write off but it was for most I think.

We'll never be the snow capital but i think the location is always ripe for a good snow fall when the classic easterly returns.
