Autumn 2023 - General Discussion

I don’t trust our airports to remain open. I hate the cold too!!

Oh yes please 🙏 I'd love that again this year I know i wasn't born but I've heard all about this cold ,wasn't new years eve 2009 like that too ,we had 45 mins of heavy snow and it was great to ring in the new year with 4 inches of snow on the ground 😀

Ah I was only 12 so I couldn't drink not till I was 14 anyway , was such fun ,school Christmas holidays extended by a week was like hitting the jackpot ,water went off from 9pm till 7am most nights due to the icy weather ,where due another round of that cold -15c or lower please

I'm loving this cold dry weather, long may it last.

That moon is something this evening!

The annual compulsory 2010 recollection from sryanbruen.

This day in 2010 started it all here in Dublin. Airport main runway had closed. There was cracks of thunder overnight from the 26th. Of course I was fast asleep for it but woke up to a wonderland in Coolock.

One of my favourite synoptics of all-time and a proper northeasterly blast, my favourite wind direction.

It'll be nice to see some mountain snow on Friday if it accumulates overnight Thursday. Camera batteries are well and truly charged waiting.

The moonlight is just glorious. I would walk in it for hours.

Full moon last night, truly stunning. I went for a run at 7am this morning guided by the moon.

Cool enough morning, 0C, with a touch of ground frost.

On Thursday/Friday (particularly overnight) I think expect 2 - 4cm of snow/graupel in Kildare/Laois. At the coast in Dublin almost all rain or graupel.

I think late Thursday evening could be problematic if you're heading home from work that direction down the M7.

In Wicklow there'll be a covering on high ground above 300 meters.

Some light patchy dustings come Saturday morning on the latest GFS. Nothing to get excited about but sure we’ll see what happens.

Could be a very big Aurora display sometime around Friday. High strength M-class (almost X) this evening, smack bang in the sweet spot of the sun for us. Seeing chatter of G3-G4 storms! Will be showers about but hopefully some clear skies. Moon not really in an ideal phase but if it goes G4, won't even matter! Earth will already be tingling with effects of at least three other CME's launched in recent days, due to arrive 30th/1st. This latest CME around the 1st.

Will know more in the coming hours when modelling tightens up predictions.

Could be an epic one!

Light cold rain shower here in Dublin 13 past few minutes.
