    the chart showed fronts, my undestanding of PL's is that they don't have a warm or cold front

    What do the experts make of the 45 degree line out to the West?

    What does that mean for us?

    for the East yes, but he spent more time talking about the polar low for the west.

    It looks a country wide event if it happens ,

    Hopefully those in the west / northwest who want and enjoy there snow get it from the Polar Low

    If that Sky News forecast turns out to be true the East of Ireland would shut down. - have to wait and see Sky News forecasts is usually highly inaccturate for anything futher than 3 hours ahead:)

    Let us start a club! For the stranded...

    My third week here; and I am trying to forget my one attempt as it has broken my nerve for trying again. Waking nightmares about the skidding and getting stuck out there.

    best wishes to your father...

    My father is in the hills near Bunclody. He has about 4, 5 inches, and is snowed in at this stage. He's not expecting to get out for at least a few days.

    I think its gas, a bit of bad weather and the entire country nearly shuts down. You'd think it was a blizzard here or something. Im on the northside of Dublin (supposedly one of the worst hit areas) right beside the coast in Raheny and there was no proper snow stuck, not enough to make a pea sized snowball!.

    I mean judging by the reports it sounds like inches and inches fell. How many inches have been recorded at Dublin Airport?

    Tons of snow all over Dublin - up to inch inches of fresh stuff in some low lying areas like Clonsilla, Castleknock and Blanc etc. You are on the seaboard hence a lot less sticks and falls for that matter.:D:D:D:D

    BBC showed similar graphics for Sunday evening and there is support from the models ( Skys graphics are only a skin on the models anyway ).

    Long way off though.

    Meanwhile, the west and southwest could get a serious pasting tomorrow!

    The latest UKMO Fax Chart at T+72, shows an organised area of snowfall spreading Westwards from Central Britain, it also has a frontal system moving up from the Continent towards Southern England, which is expected to spread Westwards in the general Easterly flow. This is the current snow potential that is being discussed.

    Renewed Snow Showers are almost a given with the setup being modelled - ''Deep cold pool over a body of open water''.. However, it is the more organised event that is still very uncertain.

    ECMWF just about manages to avoid a breakdown in the Cold Spell, with continuous blocking and southerly tracking lows throughout. I have to check the 850mb temperatures in a while, however at T+144, the approach of that low is very favourable for sustaining cold. Notice the ''delfection'' in the angle of approach, as it comes up against a very cold block of air in situ over the UK & Ireland, with a slight easterly flow again at T+168.

    He said on the 6 forecast that this polar low could come down the centre of the country from the north but at the moment that its not looking likely.

    Am seeing this graphic too that sky news has for Sunday. How likely is this to come off?

    After me moaning this morning of no snow, within 2 hours complete white out. More than new years eve, my 6 year old screamed and screamed when I told him he had to come in because it was dark. He hasn't thrown a tantrum like that since he was 2.

    Well this thing tonight definately isn't called a Polar Low, the conditions are right for it.

    It is a shortwave system, could provide some snow alright, but looks like slipping down the west coast during tomorrow.

    Easterly flow returns by Friday evening but pressure higher but still should get some showers going with sub -10c 850hpa over the Irish sea by Saturday.
