    Ecm puts manners on us!!

    Ugly




  • Registered Users Posts: 2,888 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    Met Eireann going for it after Wednesday with sleet and snow!! Jam on the brakes the ecm is woeful 🤣 😂



  • Registered Users Posts: 23,499 ✭✭✭✭Kermit.de.frog


    It's woeful indeed - for Cork.

    For most of the rest of us a decent snow event Wednesday and Thursday.

    It's still to be nailed. Don't be panicking based on your area.

    Imbyism at it's finest. Hardly woeful for most of the island.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,888 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    Well if it jogs another nudge North in the morning run it will be. A bowling ball low over the country will not produce imo. It needs to slide like the ukmo. Anyway the ukmo really is good so let's remain positive. Anyway kermit has started a thread so it's bound to happen!!



  • Registered Users Posts: 23,499 ✭✭✭✭Kermit.de.frog


    It's a delicate evolution for us. So long as it doesn't deepen and maintains a more southerly track it's grand. Of course it could suddenly deepen further and put the whole country on the wrong side.

    Are you talking about the TV forecast? The texted forecast on their website has no mention of it currently. They just mention rain and sleet. Maybe Gerry wrote it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,888 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    Yes she really went for it on 630 forecast. I'd say they'll tone it back a little after the ecm wobble. Outside of location, I genuinely think the ecm is a poor run for Thursday/Friday.

    The ECM has wobbled from a 00z that showed next to nothing? There was little to no snow potential of note 24 hours ago. As for it being a poor run, you might explain 🤷

    Come Wednesday, we may still be guessing about what Thursday will bring with upgrades, downgrades sidegrades and more odd Boards.ie posts in between.

    For what it's worth, the MOGREPS is offering a variety of solutions as we head into Thursday.

    Icon is a roaster!! No snow with that chart, anywhere

    Quite simple here folks, no heights to our North

    Though it ends better at 120hrs




  • Registered Users Posts: 2,888 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    Gfs, again no heights means no slider!! A bust other than transient snow in the North




  • Registered Users Posts: 2,888 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    By next Monday the low still hasn't cleared and we are in a Westerly flow! It's been that kind of Winter really, letdown at every juncture. Still time of course as 2018/Storm Emma taught us




  • Registered Users Posts: 32 Ros4Sam24


    Such positivity as always cheers



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,986 ✭✭✭squarecircles


    its Ireland,so theres always somebody invariabley going through a depressive episode, ready to piss on the potential.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,888 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    Maybe it's reporting the facts! Icon and gfs have removed the snow potential. That's not having a bout of depression it's a call on the latest information to hand

    Gfs control going same route, low pressure hovers over us for several days

    No snow in that chart...



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,986 ✭✭✭squarecircles


    theres still snow potential on the 18z,transient or not, its still there. So you are WRONG to say the snow potential has been removed by the GFS. FACT !!!




  • Registered Users Posts: 873 ✭✭✭pureza


    The scenario has potential

    That is all we can say at the moment

    Rain for coastal Wicklow/Wexford/waterford seems more than likely

    It's hunch work at the moment and could go either way or any way

    It's up to the lows path at the end of the day and we already know the GFS was shite at getting a fix on Atlantic lows last year,it came out worst of all models with the ECM being best (again),quelle surprise...



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,760 ✭✭✭.Donegal.


    GFS T84

    Snow over Connacht

    Spreading in to the midlands and N leinster

    Then ulster

    Not sure how that removed the snow potential as mentioned above. Conveniently ignoring Wolfes ecm post as well. Snow looks more transient on this gfs granted but it’s far from a done deal yet to be writing it off entirely and stating the snow potential is gone. For many it’s the first opportunity of the winter to see some meaningful snow. It’ll take some time to sure up the details. I don’t have a crystal ball so I can’t call it definitively like some can unfortunately. No doubt if it shifts 100 miles south we’ll see calls for a red warning …

    Can't remember the last time we had a cold spell during mid Feb. It's as devoid of cold as the second half of Jan. Mid Feb 2010 was cold but don't think it was an actual 'cold spell'.

    The 12Z GFS op run, which will most likely be out on its own in the ensembles, delivers a blocking regime and a cold northerly/northeasterly fetch at day 12-13.

    Well off the top of my head 2016 and end of Feb 2018 with a easterly into March. But 2016 remember it well got down to -7 here in the snow covered fields. System pushed in from the SW into Cold and gives us 6 to 8 inches of snow. Lasted about a week I think. The freezing fog was the worst. Froze everything.

    Edit: Yep! looked it up

    On 14 Easterly I remember so well because we couldn't get out of the house. Walked to local shop for supplies.


    2018 Temp chart But end of February. Our winters have not gone anywhere.




  • Registered Users Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭Billcarson


    Well in my part of the country don't think I saw a single flake in mid Feb 2016. It was chilly but nothing more here. Max temperatures in mid single figures or higher. Our winters have turned to s# it. There is no getting away from it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭pauldry


    True and with a 45c Summer likely in Spain that Iberian high that lives to our South ain't going to let a lot on cold in in future years either.

    After this week it does get chilly next week though so you never know. We may get another snowy hour.

    This Week will be exceptionally mild all the way to the end of next weekend.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,531 ✭✭✭squonk


    Feck it. If we could swap cold winters for settled period in summer with Iberian sourced highs, I wouldn’t complain. A warm long settled summer spell would be great. We almost got there last summer in early to mid June but things went to real hell after that on the west coast here anyway after that.

    The cooler airmass taking hold from around later Weds/ Thurs morning after the frontal passage goes through Weds which in itself produces a good bit of rain especially along Atlantic counties. Wintry showers being introduced from around early Thurs with rain, sleet, possibly a bit of snow on higher elevations and being convective in nature hail and maybe the odd isolated thunderstorm. Showers heaviest in the Western half of the country mostly, could see 40 to 50mm by Sat along Atlantic coasts. A bit windy at times along the coasts and getting breezy to windy at times overland at times but nothing too strong at this stage. Will be watching to see if a few unstable troughs develop but currently doesn't look cold enough for any accumulations of note away from high ground, ECM just showing it dropping to lows of around 1 or 2C at night maybe a bit of Frost later Fri/ early Sat. No doubt some white caps on mountains by the weekend.

    Tomorrow good sunshine levels from mid morning behind the front as it clears eastwards .Looks like decent enough sunshine for good parts of the country on Weds before the advancing cloud associated with the front due to cross the whole country from the SW, W later Weds/ early Thurs , decent sunshine on Thurs away from the Western side of the country for a time before showery troughs move eastwards.

    Tues getting up to around 13C , Weds could be very mild especially in the SE up as high as 15C. Day time temps look like getting up to around 6 to 8C in general Thurs and Fri maybe higher on Sat in the South.
