    Yes Irish1 and Felix, the weather system the Beeb are on about would be towards late thursday and friday here.
    In the meantime expect increased shower acticity later tonight and through tomorrow-with colder temps, this *may* come down as snow.


    I've no more screenshots but the earlier version of the same forecast is here has that chart at the end- you will need realplayer to view it.

    Guys I'd better warn you, they are talking about a bit of mild mixed in this but current indications suggest a return to pure cold early next week-tiz outside of what I would call a reliable timeframe yet though

    A few showers, but most missed here, Did get some hail. Temp has stayed above 4C all day, maxing out at 6.5C


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,956 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    That forecast is interesting, Friday could well be our best day for snow, but thats only if the temps stay down, at this stage I wouldn't bank on it but it is possible.

    If thats what the beeb are saying god only knows what Weathercheck will say :p

    Believe at your will!

    A developing feature to the east of Scotland
    will continue to develop trough the evening,
    towards midnight it will through a fair wack of
    prolonged snow showers to leinster north of
    Wicklow and the east coast of Ulster, heavy snow
    showers will then continue through to mid-afternoon
    tomorrow.

    So possibly a period of prolonges snow for some
    eastern areas tonight :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    I may aswell say this now but i'll stick my neck out
    and say that much of Dublin *should* wake upto a covering
    tomorrow. Im pretty confident about a rash of more prolonged
    stuff later tonight which will also drag in colder air ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    Heck not often you see snow reported in Valantia :eek:
    http://www.met.ie/recentweather/

    It's this damn breeze of the Irish sea that's
    keeping it slightly milder here :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,836 ✭✭✭BigCon


    As someone said earlier WC's forecast was more accurate than MetEireann (and don't forget the first mention of a white Christmas was here).

    We had 2-4 inches here in Portlaoise this morning, just enough to do this before it melted:

    I think it could be over for another year...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    Tonights feature has the potential to leave as much snow
    as we had on Monday here in the east, so if all that
    lay we'd have 5-6cm's by morning or more :)

    Should be good to see how it develops the model im using has
    picked things up good so far with showers expected to dy
    down towards 6-9pm and soemthing more prolonged to affect
    in or around midnight :);)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    Some beefy goings on in the Irish sea now infact ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    Something more substantial to get your teeth into
    after i noticed that the Dublin radar seems abit
    coocoo..

    Seems a low pressure is developing in association with
    tonights precipitation...could be the business..keep watching ;)


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 3,816 Mod ✭✭✭✭LFCFan


    Some beefy goings on in the Irish sea now infact ;)

    When can we expect showers to start in Dublin tonight? I swear, if we get sheds loads of snow in time for the weekend and then have it all clear in time for work on Monday, I'll do me nut :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    Looking later on in the swing of things, there are absolutely
    now signs to the end of this cold spell, not this weekend
    nor well into March :eek:

    Winter and this cold spell are only beginning another 7 days
    of the same and colder seems likely with the chance
    of another push of extremely cold air next week :eek:

    Re tonights feature is only a developing feature and
    soo mesoscale that it will be hard to be pin pointed
    by models so watch the satellite for developments ;)

    Hello folks, got the work done, so I am online till 6pm!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,913 ✭✭✭Danno


    Have to say that last nights snow was awesome!

    Loads of snow! 5 inches here in Durrow. No school day for the school-goers. Loads of kids out and they made a 7ft snowman in the middle of the road in my estate! I nearly drove in to it leaving for work! LOL! :D

    Then the kids got up from behind the wall and pelted my car with snowballs :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,913 ✭✭✭Danno


    Oh, forgot to mention that it all thawed by 1pm, as it did in most other areas!

    Continuing developments east of Scotland
    http://www.meteoam.it/satellit/WWW/infrarosso4_2005-02-22%2017:00:00.jpg
    With low pressure forming..

    The main arc of the feature should reach southern NI by around mid night
    with a big backwash of a trough :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,913 ✭✭✭Danno


    Have you that chart that you showed on monday with the satelite image, and superimposed trough lines with orange arrows???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,384 ✭✭✭highdef


    Hey Weathercheck, do you reckon those fairly big blobs between the Isle of Man and Down will manage to get here in North Dublin - Looks a bit close but the band does appear to be developing. More importantly, will it just be sleet or snow/hail pellets? Just had a moderate shower in the past 15 mins and the ground is now saturated - Need snow - big fluffy flakes of it!!

    sound like could be worth staying up for, what time do you reckon it will grace us with its presence?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,384 ✭✭✭highdef


    Good news Weathcheck That last shower that just fell (not too sure if you got it too as I was near the northern limits of it) has left a deposit of snow at the very top of Howth hill - I'd imagine a little over 400ft. Can you see Howth from your location?

    Well, gotta go home.

    Will be online later this evening, say 10-11pm.

    Talk to you all then, hopefully a big snow event will be underway by then!!! :D


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 17,069 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    just home now and had a lil hail shower with some snow flakes mixed in it so looks like the temperatures are starting to drop well again:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,956 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    anyone in Laois online, some interesting clouds over that direction.

    Weathercheck can you give a rough estimate of the areas that might see snow tonight?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 294 ✭✭the evil belly

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,498 ✭✭✭Mothman


    4.8C in Wicklow. Just had shower with some hail,


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    And the temperature in the middle of the Irish sea is 5.8c which is warmer than last night...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,744 ✭✭✭kleefarr


    Kilkenny city outskirts (E)

    Clear skies, cold not quite freezing I think. Damp from a shower of rain we had around 3:30.

    4.3c :eek: :mad:

    Eeek...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    1 plus is that every shower today has been of hail or sleet.
    Hailing now ;)


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    4.3c :eek: :mad:

    Eeek...

    Couldnt be anything else when its 6c out at sea I s'pose.

    Ah well the rain and hail when it hits the shore will surely turn to snow on the high ground and maybe well inland...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,544 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    Is 2.3c on my trusty old thermometer in the back garden in Rathgar, which is pretty much on a par with last night.
    The temp seems to be falling more rapidly inland (at least here) than yesterday evening, on my way home from work by the coast it was raining, 15 mins later near home it was sleet/snow ..though perhaps the shower had been falling longer here.
    Think that on the Wicklow mountains and some inland areas, people might do well again tonight (comparitively - would say from about 8-10 miles inland there may be some accumulations).

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,544 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    Just had a look on http://www.nra.ie/RoadWeatherInfo/Map/data/htm/WeatherTable.htm , seems that the lower temps in this area are mainly due to that heavy shower as other areas around Dublin and to the north are Warmer, Sandyford, just down the road from here, is reporting 0.6 c , while Dublin Airport is 4.4 c at ~18:00, a considerable difference.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    Moderate accumalations :D mmmm i smell sumting fishy :D

    Very cold and frosty overnight with clear spells and occasional wintry showers. Showers fairly isolated in many Western areas, but more frequent elsewhere, with some heavy snow or hail showers at times. Coastal Counties of the North and East especially at risk, with moderate accumulations in places. Winds easing, lowest temperatures falling zero to -3 degrees, with a widespread sharp to severe frost and icy patches.

    Looking at the latest NMM High Res charts they go for snow
    tonight and into tomorrow morning too with a band working
    into the midlands by midday. There usually very reserved
    with snowfall etc..maybe hope yet.

    If we were to get 10 minutes of hail the air temperature would fall
    to around freezing and then snow would fall on top of the frozen
    hail on the ground, certainly this feature is a talking about ;)

    Wouldnt start worrying about it until around midnight, cloud formations
    are forming and echoes on the radar should shoot up when actvity
    reaches the point where precipitation is going to fall.

    3.9c here now :rolleyes: :(

    Here in North Wicklow, we've just had 10 minutes of hail. It's thawing quickly though :(

    Well at least its dropping...
    you're actually warmer than Dub airport which is now 3c and casement at 2c which is looking good for those areas later if they fall a bit further.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,695 ✭✭✭Darwin


    2.2C in my part of Laois and still falling. Just had a light rain shower.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    Down to 3.1c with variable cloud :)

    Pleasantly surprised with the drop :)
