Much like earlier this winter, the cold this week appears to be becoming watered down temperatures possibly in double figures by Thursday evening in many parts.

Scotland looks the place to be.

We had a day on the beach today, getting rid of paddy day cobwebs. car was showing 11c/12c on the way home. Lovely in the sun when it shines.

There's hail falling in cork city. That wasn't on the cards today.

Nothing mild about the latest ECM

More fantasy from the ECM yet again!

I'm not calling this yet as 100/200 mile shift in the low positioning will make all the difference. FI around 84hrs as far as weather detail for Ireland is concerned.

Bit of snizzle falling here now, some nice fluffy flakes would be nice.

I posted similar earlier in this thread, My wife is from Southern Poland between Krakow and Zakapone. Snow deeper than the knees, up to the waist in places. last night -22c, coldest its been all winter. I remember last May it snowed very heavy there and settled too, didn't last as soon as sun came out.

I think we will have to move to Poland for our snow fix;),my wife is from przemysl medyka ,Tuesday the snow was so bad the whole city nearly ground to a halt,the wife's father said they were not expecting it this bad so late into the session

That would be decent for the heat in two months.

Something we're long overdue - I don't think we've had a fetch like that in summer since 06'. I've found this winter to be rather tiresome as it promised much but deleivered little(I appreciate it was much better in the UK). Anyways cold weather from now till November does little for me so I hope it does warm up in time for Easter.

Going on the latest British MetO fax charts, the risk of wintryness has increased for much of the East and Midlands over the next 36 hrs, especcially during the hours of darkness.

I was up at kilakee (base of military road) carpark about 6pm, it was 5 degrees at m50 and 2 degrees at kilakee carpark, little snow on the ground. Very thick fog on the way up. The temp dropped to 1 degree as I was coming down from the mountains so hopefully they will be white in the 2 moro.

Snowmaker

I was up in Wicklow earlier this eve. The mountain wasn't coming to me, so I went to the mountains! Snow started falling, quite heavily, around half five along Military Road on the way from Sally Gap to Kilakee. Pics below of the promised land!

edit, won't let me attach pics from mobile...will put them up later.

Very interesting. ECM EPS shows the 12z OP not an outlier and infact the mean goes for a slightly better angle of the low Thursday/Friday, uncertainty reigns!

Mean at 96



Mean at 120



Mean at 144

3.5c here but still splatterings of ice on the light rain.

irishmotorist

If Gerry says that we might get snow (east and north) tonight, it's a dead cert! :pac:

Looks like that bit of snow that's hitting Scotland is expected to come all the way over here.

Btw, temp of 3.2 and DP of 2.5 at the moment here.

patneve2

moderate sleet/hail shower here

Whats the Forecasted DP's for tomorrow?

-3 to 2. Hovering around 0 max in the midlands/north midlands. -3ish from 6pm to am basically. DP highest in the south and south east

pad199207

I expect tomorrow's shower to give a dramatic drop in temps and dp's. Met Eireanns highs of 4-6c seems a bit high for any snow showers to occur! Low DP's should help though!

Strange weather here in North Meath/Cavan Border - birds going mental all day .... and gorgeous little lambs in field beside me panicking madly (but that might not be weather related)!

Love this forum when weather getting "crap" - it's very informative! For my work I've to travel on not secondary, but third-ary, roads for 50 minute drive across Co. Meath. Always read MT Cranium's forecast ahead of Met E's

Weathering

Met office have just issued a snow warning for NI for snow from 3am to 10am

Interesting the change in snow forecasts by Met today.

I always find Met too cautious in their forecasts but MT sometimes the other extreme , however I think MT has had it spot on this Winter and I also check the forecast on boards on my "mobile device" first thing every day as MetE just change theirs every few hours coz none of them can agree.

However I grant them snizzle sleet hail graupel and snow flakes of 250 types are hard to predict when the conditions are borderline in any case.

Lots of Ireland has had snowfall this March though and it more than makes up for last years borefest. I thought it was all over a few hours ago but the whole of the rest of March has possibilities though if the event on Friday gets shoved North I would say that that is it. Finally ...until the blizzard we will have on June 21st
