As in stop dead? Oh dear! No getting past them?

what does get past is of very little use in terms of snowfall. anyway don't have to worry about that when showers coming from the north west.

Great image here. But we see the Storm for North East USA to bring epic snowfall.

Also just look at those winds coming down off A VERY FRIGID Greenland. These then race across the Atlantic toward us at great speed. An Arctic blast not to be underestimated here. Plenty of robust Snow showers will cross the land.
Accumulations for many. GET READY.

Would they not be modified by the Atlantic? when is scheduled date or arrival?

Redsunset

Your always going to get Atlantic modification thats why it's called a Polarmaritime flow from that dirrection, but windspeed will help our cause here.

Just curious as to when you expect these showers to make it across the atlantic to us?

Thanks Maquiladora,

I can save my excitement for the rest of you based on that chart - looks like the midlands will fare the worst in terms lack of snow :-(

Enjoy the next few days guys - I can be exciting waiting to see what is coming your way.

Havent read the whole thread, so apologies if this has been answered, but what type of snow can Dublin expect? Will it stick etc? Sandyford /Dundrum( ha sorry if too specific with the area)

Anything from 0cm to 5cm is possible. These events are notoriously hard to predict. If I was to have a guess I'd say a dusting for most of Dublin (1cm) with Sandyford getting 2-3cm. Biggest snowfall in Tyrone (12-15cm on lower ground) with least snowfall on exposed coasts. Then again, with a slight change, it could work out like last week with snow mainly on hills and sleet at lower levels.

No point in getting into that detail now. Cold is coming, going to feel bitter in the wind. It will be Radar watch from Wednesday afternoon and keep an eye from reports to the northwest of you.

I am a total novice here (just a snow lover) so excuse the possible stupidity of this question for those in the know. Is there any chance we will see anything here from Storm Juno hitting the US?
Blushing already as I know daft that question sounds...

see redsunset's post above. possible we might get the remnants as to what that might be i would suggest very difficult to predict at this stage.

Met office snow warning for Nothern Ireland. "5-10cm even for low levels". I suspect they will upgrade to amber tomorrow.

No question is daft.. if you dont ask you don't learn.. I am sure the techies will have the info you seek. My family over the water are waiting on the storm and we do often get backlash or leftovers

I suppose amber is more diplomatic than an Orange warning.

Well, looking at these great high lumps of rock from my kitchen window.... a wonder anything gets past them They are truly impressive...

Graces7

Just read the met forecast and am shivering ahead. Ah well... we will survive and win through.

Redsunset

Level 1 status given, will eventually go 2 as it nears due to high risk of blizzard like conditions at times especially in North, North west hills and lower which should lead to some significant accumulations of powder.

Redsunset - high risk of snow in South??

which site are you using for that Maq?

leahyl

Wonderful thanks :pac:

Rebelbrowser

The GFS looks fine still - but bit concerned they are taking this Cork Snow Shield a bit seriously! No basis for this from what I can see of precipitation / uppers / dew points / thickness etc but lets see.....

I don't think it's a downgrade. The north/northwest is always going to get the most out of this. The same way that the east does best from an easterly.
