FI, but this is.... Interesting

Nothing so far in the model. Currently showing cool conditions till next fri. Day temp for most of the week is from 5C-10C in the north to 7C-14C in the south and at nights down to 0 in some place mostly 2-4 in others.

T shirt weather today, ridiculous! If I recall it was exactly like this in October 2010 and we know what happened in November and December:)

The weather will be the least of their worries for the first 2 months!

I assume with all this baby talk the chance of snow and cold this week has dissapeared?

We could be in for a fair bit of white magic and ice again this year.

same shyte different day . I wish people would go to the trouble of reading the posts that are generally very informative on these threads . James madden is your modern day Walter mitty of weather forecasting. He got it right once. I am only a novice to all this and its always been transparent he gives same forecast every year. we should still be digging ourselves out from last year. very annoying he steals the real forecasters thunder with .............de ja vous crap. beggars belief people still fall for this hook line and sinker.

I've never got the winter i love since 2009/2010..... Snow ice sub zero temps it was amazing - a true fairytale I wouldn't bank on it this year either it'll prob be another crappy mild horrible clammy winter which I absolutely hate. I seriously hate summer and all that warm sticky clammy weather....

Here's another one expecting in January but it's me not the husband And I still want lots and lots of snow!! Though I do live in the greater Dublin area so the roads wouldn't be too bad to the coombe even if it was like the last cold winter!

Jasus ud wanna make a move! Its due in 10 mins!

A confession first - I only ever look at the Weather forum at this time of year, purely because I want to see is there any chance of snow! However I just wanted to thank all those who post here. I can contribute very little so am only a lurker but am constantly impressed at the depth of knowledge of ye dedicated amateurs. Fair play.

Some 'hail' expected later today in Dublin according to ME... Anything is better than the usual soul destroying mild nonsense!

I don't think there is any point getting excited about getting snow in November - only happened twice in my lifetime 2009 & 2010, exceptional spells, but after they ended, the rest of the winters were pretty normal.

November ice to bear a duck - the rest of winter slush & muck. Hasn't failed me yet.

If current pattern is still here this time next month, you may start fretting then, but for now, please remain seated until the seatbelt signs are turned off....

There was no snow in November 2009, it was mild and exceptionally wet.

November 2010 was very cold, but December was even colder and the first half of January was cold too.

Bring your duck to the vet. :pac::P

2009/2010 was very cold through out the winter..November 2010 was followed by the Coldest December ever recorded at most stations and the Coldest month ever recorded at Dublin Airport. Yes it was mild enough for the January and February that followed though.

I dont think anyone is saying snow/cold weather is definitely coming its just there are very promising signs appearing in the models. So yes no need to get too excited yet but the forecast lack of a Pv developing, lots of high pressure to our north and a Jetstream well south of Ireland raise the chances of a cold spell developing significantly.
