M4 buoy (off Donegal) dewpoint at 1400 has gone negative. Now -0.6. Temperature is +5.8.

irish1967 · 16-12-2010 03:20PM

Technical explanation needed:
During the last snowy spell the showers would disintegrate as they hit the northcoast and by the time they got to me they had dissapeared completely. This time they seem to be nothiong much out at sea but once they hit land they expand and intensify??

How come?

glimmerman123 · 16-12-2010 03:20PM

Very heavy snow now here in North Tipp starting to lodge in the fields. I didn't expect to see snow until at least the weekend.:D

It seems some people come here spitting the dummy because it doesn't snow the minute they decide that it should, regardless of what is actually forecast. :rolleyes:

Same here , birds all over my bird feeders , lots if seagulls in the park - weird !

12Z NAE precip accum for 48 hours

http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-bin/expertcharts?LANG=en&MENU=0000000000&CONT=ukuk&MODELL=nae&MODELLTYP=1&BASE=201012161200&VAR=rsum&HH=48&ZOOM=0&ARCHIV=0&WMO=&PERIOD=

Compared to the 06Z run roughly looks like more snow for the north of the country and less for the south.

Of course that could flip again on the 18Z. Models are all over the place.

Which Castletown, just trying to get the general picture.

Tactical · 16-12-2010 03:36PM

Cloud clearing in a southerly direction here now in West Limerick.

Roads are good and damp.

Not temperature information.

Breeze has picked up a little too.

Will update when cloud cover returns.

Maybe the little sunlight we have at this time of day will dry the roads a little.

irelandspurs · 16-12-2010 03:37PM

I don't know why i'm hoping for snow,the wife is due to give birth any day,could make things tricky
