Winter 2022-23 - General Discussion

Snow showers pushing further south with first light showers just arriving in Castlebar

Great to see a proper northerly delivery snow to areas that can often miss out when we get it from the east, keep the pics coming guys much appreciated.

There is a new snow shield in place just to the North of Tuam at the moment, this may be upsetting to some regular posters.

Nice clean road this morning.

Heavier showers coming but theyl be more of a wintry mix for Sligo still snow inland though. Can see the brown clouds changing black as daytime temperature increases ever so slightly.

Status Yellow - Snow/Ice warning for Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo

NW snowed under at the minute

Havent had a dusting this heavy for a few years at least

A bit disappointing that. I thought more of Connacht would be included in the warning . I still think most of Connacht will get snow, but it must mean those areas within the warning will get more

What is the wet bulb temperature? . Its probably gone the wrong way there. Maybe by night you will see snow again.

Way way more snow than I was expecting.

Unfortunately based on current guidance it does not look like there will be a split of the PV, more likely is a displacement. We could still get a cold spell from this, but initially with the downwelling of westerlies from above we might have a zonal period to deal with first. If we could tap into the air from Siberia it would be frigid given the build up of severe cold there this winter. It would not surprise me if - 20 uppers made it to the South East of England in that scenario.

Yellow - Snow and Ice Warning for Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone, Derry

Snow showers will affect these areas through Tuesday afternoon and continue in many places overnight, and into Wednesday morning. Accumulations of a couple of centimetres are likely at low levels, with higher ground anywhere is the region potentially seeing 5-10 cm, and up to 15 cm for the higher ground in northern Northern Ireland

A snowy Knock Airport today with heavy showers to the North/North East

Good to see Cork in on that warning, hopefully comes a bit further east tonight although I doubt it. I am a few kms west of the city so got a few cms yesterday afternoon but then the larger fall that gave Kerry and West Cork good falls that evening came tantalizingly close and then veered off south at the last minute and only gave light flurries here.
