    I imagine the ECM would deliver seriously cold minima locally under snow cover. I wish the low would scurry off to the south though so we can tap into the cold over Scandinavia!

    We are in Lanzorote at the moment. It has been 23°C to 25°C every day since last Friday. Hearing talk of snow at home next week.... we are back Wednesday.

    Awesome charts tonight, easily the best since 2010!

    Looks like it's happening; ECM showing decent snow for Dublin & Wicklow on both Friday and Saturday mornings next week!

    ECM ensembles are fairly tight there, good agreement in general on the 850 temps, lots even lower near the end. Precipitation has op been a big outlier though so those snow charts nearly are useless.

    Interesting reading back over all the posts. Very cold charts all round now, blocking in place and ECM introducing very cold shallow LP's and their associated fronts and troughs ,cold mid level and very cold upper temperatures over relatively warm seas should produce a stream of showers in fact ECM looking very wintry now at least, might not be pristine snow but beginning to show potential for wintry weather disruption with hard frost and icy nights and mornings and day time temperatures of only a few degrees, might even struggle to get over 0C in a few places towards the end of the week if there is snow lying, some very cold overnight temps showing up now, down as low as -4 to -6C on the latest run.

    Currently showing frontal snow events with snow accumulations on the 12Z, significant in some places but these charts will chop and change over the coming days, for now just looking for the trend and potential and it is certainly there in the current charts. Unusual to see such charts after all the Atlantic driven weather. And no end in sight to the cold spell either !

    Just have to include the ECM snow prediction charts of what it could look like if the temperatures, LP, fronts and troughs align 😀 . No harm to post for future reference to see how the models fared this far out, do you remember the predictions for Emma, we thought the models were broken but how right they were.

    Overall a very nice set of ensembles this evening. We are starting to lose the 'turning milder' trend right at the very end, so there is a chance this cold spell could extend into the 3rd week of December. An increased risk of snow too compared to the 6z and not just on the operational run. We also have a few cold outliers now appearing which go below -10C so a further swing to cold overall.

    It's time to play the music, its time to light the lights, it's time to get a thread started on boards.ie tonight!

    Come on kermit 🥳😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,605 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    Well who needs -12 upper temps, if the localised surface cold with a slack flow does the job in terms of snow. Besides right at the end you might get your wish if the high migrates over to Scandinavia.

    I’ll meet you for a cold one in the Drunken Monkey 😁

    The ECM mean is the best yet and the really cold stuff is now ticked down to 144hrs. Be interesting to watch Joanne's 9pm forecast. The earlier broadcast was a bit of a snorefest!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,959 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    Will it be enough to breach the Cork snow shield though?

    The EC46 seems to keep the blocked theme going well into fi. It seems too good to be true, a blocked setup for most of the month!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭Cork2021


    The snow shield can feck off! I won’t be driving over Nadd to Ballincollig to work, this snow is coming and I’m getting a snow day! 🤪

    Cork has not actually done too bad the last couple of years.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,072 ✭✭✭Artane2002


    They aren't needed but the colder uppers under the trough are mixing out over the time so having the trough move south rather than get stuck over us would help reinforce the cold. Also, -12°C uppers with our 11-13°C SSTs would be epic 😉



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,048 ✭✭✭Tom Cruises Left Nut


    It's not the Cork snow shield you want to worry out, it's the curse of Calibos



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭Rougies


    Indeed, for the east coasters anyway. Everything can be so right but still go so wrong.

    For the fresher faces around here, this what the curse of Calibos looked like in Dec 2010:

    Still looks really, really good. A build up thread is still a bit too risky this evening. Close call though! Maybe in the morning 👍

    ECM is top of the tree again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,238 ✭✭✭Oneiric 3


    By Saturday, we see the cold air mass taking a firmer grip over Scandinavia:
