    0z seems abit of a downgrade.

    Low is further east definitely but we get a trail back and irish sea invigoration in the east as a result of the easterly flow so not too bad.

    And i would say GFS is furthest east, with ECM being the best.

    However the models have dropped the idea of an extremely intense low, for the moment.

    I would revise down totals in the Dublin region (IMBY!) to falls of around 10cm during Friday night/ Saturday.

    NAE shows the timeframe coming into view, has the system pushing into midwest and sliding southwards giving 5-10cm in its first bash here, we would like to see it push a week bit further north for the Dublin regions sake.

    It is precipitation in mm, should all be of snow barring coastal districts of the southwest. (1mm precip = 1cm snow)

    Yes, the 0Z gfs is a "downgrade" after the dream 18z charts, I did say to expect that, but the situation its far from set it stone either way. Polar low development that models may not show needs to be monitored.

    Lets just hope the 6z is not a further downgrade, its painful to watch.

    As was previously said nothing is writen in stone. I wouldn't start panicking yet. While we may not need snow ploughs, we should hopefully get a covering at some stage.

    Yes a huge amount of anticipation about how this will all pan out. The great semi-unknown.
