    How is it in Cobh? We are booked for the Arts and Craft Fair next Sunday and desperately don;t want to miss it.

    As we are on one of the timber lorry roads near Enniskeane, I reckon that the roads may be OK?

    Yea decent band of precip expected to head East coast tonight and during Tuesday morning but i fear it may actually accelerate a thaw for coastal parts, say 5-10 miles from the coast from Dundalk to Bray inland. With sleet falling. Hope is that the wind doesnt pick up too much but a possibility of a thaw through this afternoon into Tuesday AM before Siberian air returns behind the front with fresh easterly winds and driving snow showers for the east coast.

    If we could some how get tonights lot as snow we'd certainly be calling it SNOWVEMBER.

    But temps in NI this morning worry me and this will be the type of air around for tonights precip.

    Reckon it will fall as snow inland of say 10 miles. And i think GONZO will get a hammering:D;)


    Given the compacted nature of the snow and ice even if it was hail it would make things very dangerous and would hardly force a thaw. As regards a thaw you also have to keep in mind ground temperatures aswell which id say are pretty cold at this stage!

    Morning all!:) Well after my utter disappointment last night i have now awoken to fresh hope that we may see some of the white stuff in the City today! Judging by the ME radar and the huge black clouds rolling in we could be in with a VERY good chance!:D

    Does 240 hrs mean that in 10 days time the weather is expected to be the same - IE cold? Or is it getting colder?

    You'll get it alright.
    It should hit all of cork city,it's just that it won't go as far north as last nights.
    Maybe 10 to 15 miles further south.
    As I said earlier,it's been brewing out over a warm sea for a while so expect thunder and very heavy snow.

    yeah unfortunately I made it without refreshing the radar.
    That blob was heading due northwest and then switched wnw and now is going due west.
    It should grase the city still but nothing remarkable :/

    :( Sure we have no hope at all so - i'm on the northside and there was no snow at all last night even when, as you said, the snow went far enough north so if it's not going to go as far north this time i'm finished:(!

    Yeah. Evelyn mentioned a front moving in tuesday or Wednesday giving snow. I presume it's coming in from the east. Is it due to pass over the whole country or just clip the east ?

    South of Ulster on chris's graphics.
    It's the most snow graphic I've seen him put over Eastern,central and southern Ireland.
    I remember january '87 (I'm old folks!) when a similar front dumped close to a foot along the East coast and still had snow on it as it exited out past valentia co Kerry.
    This one looks exactly like that.
    Not saying theres going to be that quantity but theres tentative reasons to get excited.
    Theres almost 6 inches here as it is...:eek:
