    GFS is great at showing Atlantic snow which unfortunate doesn't materialise for most of us!

    Is the GFS looking a bit drab on the 12z?

    Stop with the netweather reading
    Practice what you preach :D

    Cross model agreement is lacking beyond Thursday is all
    Glasnevin have gone for rain that end of the week

    Arpege looks nice for Tuesday morning and usually one of the more realistic when it comes to snow forecast.

    That does seem to be deliberately vague about the spell of rain later in the week. Is it a spell of persistent rain for all, or just costal fringes? I have a feeling if cold air is entrenched that might be changed to something more promising in future up dates.

    Yes, I would defiantly go with deliberately vague... Helen wasn't even going past Monday afternoon on the lunchtime forecast so I doubt we'll hear anything about late next week until Monday or after (hopefully not too far after), the 12z ECM is going to be very interesting!

    I’m refusing to allow myself to get excited about the potential cold spell but so far so good.... no major turnaround in the models.... if we can avoid a downgrade between now and Monday morning, we should see something good. I always had a hunch that February could deliver.

    How many times have you written off this winter and now you are saying you always had a hunch about February...!

    Spot the front!? Stretching from Newcastle to Anglesey to Lands End, being rapidly occluded.

    Bit of a fightback from the Atlantic at 120, nice run before it though and I never trust anything over 96 hours out... Monday night/Tuesday morning should be fun!

    People are putting in there opinions already. It's a very volatile situation that still could go either way, people have been posting their thoughts here and simply saying something like "is it going to snow" is bizzare and slightly disrespectful. Look at the name of the thread! That's what the discussion is about!

    Contribute and ask questions of course, but asking things like "will it snow" isn't going to yield an answer that you couldn't have already read.

    Actually you’re right! Technically it is Spring! Anyway I’m quietly optimistic something will come of this and as usual I’ll be following all the very well informed folk on here for the latest. February is my second favorite month after June.

    For a Clare man you're quite pedantic sometimes lol

    Anyhow do you think it'll snow ?

    Another slight upgrade on the GFS for Monday night's potential. The -8 c 850 hpa isotherm is hugging the east coast on Monday.

    After Monday night the snow risk is North and West primarily on Tuesday night and there could be some heavy falls of snow here locally. Lighter and more scattered snowfall elsewhere.

    Bitterly cold.

    Technically it's not, even astronomically wise, Spring doesn't start 'til March 19th, 20th or 21st every year.

    Let's not forget the phrase that it's more likely to snow at Easter than Christmas.

    It probably will snow (west clare?), Tuesday night is probably the better bet for your particular area.

    Decent enough chance rain will turn to snow for a time Monday night but that's not nailed yet.

    Hope that helps.

    Not disrespectful ,more just ignorant, and annoying. Many posters on here are posting clear weather maps and forecasts, least people could do is read what they post, rather than asking for a personal forecast for their area and ignoring everything posted before them

    So Monday night/ Tuesday morning nationwide risk of snow?

    Nope, sorry. The North, West and North Midlands.

    Scattered lighter snow elsewhere.

    Tuesday night could be a more interesting event for some...
