1) it's a forming band
2) that radar although very handy

Isnt showing the showers
in England so i dont know about how accuarate it is..

Still it wasnt meant to get more intense until it develops but
it wont it was only meant to bring light-moderate stuff anyway..

Also watch the milder air aloft in the west, dont want that
do go too far east and if the front moves further east than
expected it will

I see why you are saying that.

ninebeanrows · 20-02-2005 10:23pm

Making more eastward movement than southerly :eek:
Although we must remember the main stuff is out of
sight

It's okay, it's moving SSW... play the 2030, 2045 and the 2100 after each other...

ninebeanrows · 20-02-2005 10:38pm

18z going for the precip much further east and heavier..game on!

Temperatures at 0c while the precip is over the Midlands and
east.

Could be a few cm's across the whole of Leinster tonight

ninebeanrows · 20-02-2005 10:41pm

Dare i say a really bad rush hour in Dublin as snow will arrive around
4-5am... If there's more than 2cm's lying and it's still falling i aint
going to school

Could be a whiteout in Laois Danno

And here??

Upto 7cm's now possible in Dublin as nearly 9 hours of snowfall :eek:

ninebeanrows · 20-02-2005 10:48pm

People wake up there could be a whiteout in Dublin tonmorrow

Were in a prime position, in the coldest air with a decent dollop
of precipitation

Waith until the shocked fools wake up tomorrow morning

I feel February 27th 2001 coming on here

:eek:

As i speak the temperature dipping away to 0.8c

Scubadevils · 20-02-2005 10:51pm

whats brought this sudden turn around??? What time you reckon first showers? (have to set the alarm!)

Gonzo · 20-02-2005 10:52pm

clear outside, frost all over car and temperature is 0c, I expect it to fall to -1C or -2c by midnight. I see the west is still quite mild with many 4c to 6c around.

Danno · 20-02-2005 10:54pm

Holding at 2.3c here and does not look like moving. Cloudy outside too.

ninebeanrows · 20-02-2005 10:56pm

The frontal band has edged further east than expected
and leaves Dublin in the firing line for prolonged snow tomorrow
morning or infact from 3-5am

The showers will start tomorrow evening too,
we will be a rut with snow by the end of the week

yep Gonzo the milder air in association with the upcoming
feature will mean western areas will be milder tomorrow
but the east is a different matter maxima of 3c late in
the day i reckon

Scubadevils · 20-02-2005 10:57pm

forgot to say, was driving back from Bettystown to Lusk and saw gritting truck near the M1. Do they come out if RAIN is due overnight?

Ray777 · 20-02-2005 10:59pm

And I'll be saying, "Oh, look!!! A flying pig!!!"

:cool:

Danno · 20-02-2005 11:01pm

There is a weak circulation over Holland that is drawing in that weatherfront. I would not be surprised if it just went down over Wales now...

ninebeanrows · 20-02-2005 11:02pm

your sarcastic little **** Ray

Oh don't we all love the sarcasm

Tomorrow it will be revealed Ray the true magic of snow

I should be worried about it going too far west for god sake!

Danno · 20-02-2005 11:08pm

2.2c and medium level thin, very thin cloud. NWN Wind. Slight, but stiff.

Trotter · 20-02-2005 11:09pm

The eternal question... Any sign of snow arriving in Waterford?
