elastico

RTE weather holding fire for now anyway. Just mentioning a bit colder but nothing out of the ordinary.

Things are definitely going in the "right" (wrong for some) direction for a bit of shock to the system but caution should also be applied too. I'll give it 3 more days.

The lack of input from you lately has been a real sign of the lack of potential up to now
But yes I agree, the old saying (many) more runs needed rings true

Just seeing Kermit back gives me hope!
God i have missed you Kermit!

I can only assume you are very quietly optimistic on this one!
Please let it be so!!

Not really that so much although it has been a bit depressing in the last 3 months. I'd like to contribute more but i'm too busy. I will make time though when interesting charts start to appear! I'm looking for a northeast pivot but the charts as they stand now broadly have snow potential for a good chunk of the country. Struggle to get much action in the east and southeast with a northwesterly at this time of year unless there is trough lines in there to enhance activity which can't even be speculated on this far out.

Just my luck...

Going away next Wednesday morning...the first flakes will probably be falling as my flight leaves the tarmac.

Bah.

Could be weird: 0 degrees and snowy to 30 degrees in one day.

Can't remember when I last posted here... probably back in the wonderful winter of 2010, I still swing by and check in the hope of a Weathercheck thread like this, bring it on :cool:

Snow boots out of hibernation tonight, together with those amazing yokes that you attach to yer shoes with spikes. Funny they were all over the place AFTER the snow melted in 2010!

And I found my walking poles with interchangeable spikes and rubber tips. Yippee.

Unfortunately I don't have any skis or a snowboard. But I can live without them really.

I am so organised now, but will I actually need them in the end?

A step in the wrong direction from the 18Z GFS.
Just when it looked like the big three were coming into agreement.

Can we mention the legendary word "Thundersnow" yet?

here in castlebar its been so dull for the past month or more not forgetting all the rain. really looking forward to some crisp clear blue skies by day and hopefully some snow showers to! i would not be getting to excited about the prospect of snow this far out out but hey its better than the current set up. the band of rain crossing now will probably be the last organised rain belt for a while

The good old pub run doesn't want to play ball

Starting to look like many other prospective cold spell in the past few years so, sigh.

Wouldn't throw in the towel just yet, but you really should never trust the models more than a few days out (I.e. 3 at most).

A shift to cold weather is probably still likely but in all likelihood given past experiences it usually gets very watered down. :rolleyes:

I told ya starting this thread would jinx it!

Looks like a classic 90s storm system developing in the GFS FI range with a fast moving developing depression and a rapidly destabilsing cold air mass following.

Lads we have been here many many times before. Its all part of being on that famous roller coaster. Personally i see a significant cold spell on the cards. Who gets snow and doesn't remains to be seen but thankfully an end is in sight to the miserable spell we have had. Buckle up, its going to be a rocky ride
