    Pretty much set in stone that we'll see snow and some serious eough cold. For how long, that's up in the air. I'm predicting some disruptive snow, especially in Dublin and surrounding counties. Mid to late next week has potential with Atlantic fronts for some possible severe snow events

    Once again Cork looks marginal? Correct? :-(

    How do you mean again? We got more snow than anywhere in 2018 and in general have been doing well...
    It could go either way for Cork but in general looks as good as anywhere else

    Well more often than not we don’t get snow, yes we got it in 2018 but it’s not like anytime there is a system that we get the biggest hit. Usually misses out on us. Cork is a big county and I suppose I'm referring to the city and suburbs. North Cork all nearly always get something.

    Not all the time
    Plenty of opportunities
    From an imby perspective this is more 2010 than 2018,though slightly less cold without being marginal
    Wind is Northeast so for shower fetch,you need to look Northeast to see how much water your fetch has
    Greater than 60kmhs of water brings good showers
    Double that or more along the east coast leading to much of the east getting streamers
    Its not due East like 2018 was,so shower distribution WILL be different

    Regarding Cork, ahead of any Atlantic clash,a southeast flow would batter Cork but that's all too far ahead at this stage

    More snow than anywhere in 2018?? Kildare, Wicklow and even Wexford got the most. Parts of Dublin got a lot too. I recall cork getting some but nowhere near what fell in the east

    All set for tremendous battleground stuff next week. Very much 1947esque. I'd think Munster could get a lot of snow from the possible setups we are being shown. Shades of Feb 1978 snow down there. Leinster gets the early show Sunday/Monday. Almost within the reliable range now. Yesterday's low over SE UK and Holland not such a factor.

    That’s why I’m still a little bit wary. That signal for that low could easily come back again to ruin things for us and a good part of S Britain. My hand was still on the fence on Monday but now it’s just the little finger grasping onto it. :D

    Better get down to the hardware for snow shovels before the run on them starts

    Ha ha, took my meds this morning, all looking good...

    In all seriousness though, battleground does have the risk of milder weather washing out the cold from time to time. But it's risk v reward. The reward for snow lovers could be great. Could be, potentially yada yada...
