Cold week ahead, change is on the way ............

Tuesday night looks very interesting with potential for snow over a good portion of the country, my concern is marginality near the east coast! But i would expect snow on the ground on Wednesday morning for good few places!

UKM backing the snow-storm scenario

this could have been 1987 stuff if we were back in January! Ive a feeling Wicklow mountains could see record amounts of snow over the next week.

At least 2013 so far is looking a million times more interesting than 2012 ever was.

Setting it out as a "Snow - Storm" is a bit sensational! More like Wintry Showers in a very unstable atmosphere! Higher Ground would hit the jackpot in terms of Snowfalls!

With low pressure so close though Pad, it would increase the chances of frontal precip, and in this case a risk of snow,mostly on higher ground(can't see uppers for those times). Also winds would be very strong, so a snowstorm is very possible in the coming times!

Freezing here in KK. Inside at any rate. I'm just remembering a St Patrick's Day where everyone was wearing shorts here. It was quite soon after I moved here in '98. Is there any way I could track down what year it was? I've tried googling but coming up dry.

99 was a brilliant march as I remember it very well. I was in Tipperary and was wearing shorts and vest top on the 15th march.

ECM says no to the sliding low although the cold air may arc back eventually, the mild air gets over Ireland Thursday night.

and the rollercoaster goes down again:P

I.love the snow, when there's no leaves on the trees and herbaceous plants are dormant it looks well and right.
But this time of year it has that mutton dressed as lamb look...
Nothing more wrong than seeing snow dripping and melting from a Hawthorne boreen in full flush :S

But it would be nice to see it all the same,but I just prefer it during the dormant season

Just had a heavy graupel/soft hail shower that has left cars, roofs and grass coated white.

1.3c DP 0.8c atm.

Same here in the city centre. Was on the way to work. Got completely saturated in 5 minutes... :mad:

Quite a wintry forecast from ME (Siobhan Ryan) this morning both online and on the radio:

Tonight:
There will be some well scattered wintry showers across the country, with a dusting of snow possible across parts of the north and east towards morning.

Tomorrow:
Rather cloudy tomorrow Tuesday with scattered showers. A few of the showers will remain wintry in the north and east, with some snow accumulations possible on lower as well as higher levels here.

Lovely big snow flakes falling now

Gonzo

heavy sleet here this morning then rain. I think this will be more like what most of us will see over the next week, the snow will mainly be confined to high ground.

laurahni

it's freezing today

Snow risk over according to met eireann

I don't think so. Infact it is to get good bit colder in next 24hrs

850-1000hPa thickness this morning:



At 6am tomorrow

Weathering

Met office have dropped their snow warning for NI tomorrow after amending it during the night to drop the western half of NI out of it. BBC NI weather twitter feed had just tweeted the snow warning picture and details only for the met office to drop it 10mins later makes the folks in Belfast look daft at no fault of their own. Poor communication between the pair

patneve2

Probably another 1 or 2 (s)nowcasting events this week...unfortunately though the undercut doesn't look like happening later on in the week

daenerysstormborn3

Little bit of hail in Slieverue now, turning to rain now though.

aboyro

full on hail shower here for last 5mins or so and still going, driveway white!!!

aurora 527

Currently 6.2c here in Waterford...but i think it is freezing, def feels colder than it did this time last wk when it was struggling to get past 2.0c..

Looks like parts of eastern Scotland are going to rob our easterly tomorrow with big amounts of snow forecast to pile in, a small low buckles over us advecting the coldest air to our north, so infact it is going to get colder tonight with snow risk but become a bit less cold Tuesday night/ Weds AM before perhaps another push of cold in from the east through Wednesday afternoon/evening

pauldry

Met eireann put snow back on 2pm forecast sheesh

Make up minds

Why can't they have a probability map and amend it as they see fit

Like Leinster 40 percent
Ulster 60 percent
Connaught 20percent
Munster nil

They could use for rain and thunder in summer too

ninebeanrows

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.

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.
