All us snow lovers are clutching at straws at the moment, the models can't make up their minds, I think we can safely forget about snow on lower ground, I hope I'm wrong but I doubt it.:-(

Well you would not of said this if you had seen the 0z.

Momentum this morning was turning in the cold direction but this was abruptly halted in the 6z.

However lots of ECM ensembles go for cold.

This is still very uncertain.

There is still the poss that we get hit with battle ground snow.

Dan, I've tried following this on Netweather too but I can't. Can you explain, what is a "shortwave"?

It's a fancy name for a depression or area of low pressure.

I know I saw both of them and it's doing my head in. Let's hope for a better picture when the later models roll out.

Some really black clouds moving in over cobh,looks like rain:(

filo87 · 14-02-2011 2:13pm

Snowing in Cork out by Blarney for the last 15 minutes. Quite wet but sticking. Decking is covered!

Flan_Da_Man125 · 14-02-2011 2:45pm

wet snow here also! and sticking. its been falling for the last 40 min. near ballincollig

NIALL D · 14-02-2011 5:22pm

snow showers on an off here in south tipp also...

Siobhan "in the mix" Ryan has just finished her Weather Forecast there on RTE1 - temps will hit 11oC this weekend with rain.

Moderators, please close this thread.

It has now become totally non-relevant to current weather. No sign of any "severe cold spell" (unless you go into FI, but then the next day the cold spell is still 7 days out!)

Time to call it a day!

. Any moderator going to stand up and finally lock the thread? :cool:

M.T. Cranium · 14-02-2011 11:24pm

Should probably give the models one last chance to change their mind.

(should this be in the dating forum perhaps?) :cool:

The year Britain froze just started on more4 for anyone interested.

there is no need for every thread to be locked because the situation has changed slightly from the title, it was always a long shot that this cold spell would happen, and as it stands its still a long shot. We would have an awful lot of locked threads if they were locked every time a forecast changed!

I saw it on CH4 a few weeks ago and it was total rubbish.

is it time to declare that there will be no more snow in Ireland for winter 2010/2011?

Four inches of snow last week in Donegal and Derry.

irish1967 · 15-02-2011 9:23am

I take it from the silence here this morning all is quiet down south. Cold calm morning here. 0.8c with DP 0.7c

Yep... lots and lots of rain!!:(

ESE wind

think its time to lock this thread down, its mid feb, theres no ''real'' snow or cold temps and thankfully nothing but mild air on the way for the weekend

redsteveireland · 15-02-2011 10:26am

Its all rain here in Galway, horrible dreary morning. Snow would be welcome over this.

NIALL D · 15-02-2011 1:00pm

why do people wanna lock the thread ??? jus dont go into this thread like !!!!

probably because there aint no snow, its not cold and mild weather is on the way for the weekend

Nabber · 15-02-2011 2:09pm

Why not just ignore the thread rather than wanting it locked. Back seat modding. You gotta love it

Still a slim chance that the cold might push in. It's still mid February.

Just because it didn't snow? The thread isn't about 'snow' it's 'Severe Cold'

NIALL D · 15-02-2011 2:22pm

yeah , as above ^^ jus ignore the thread .. jus because its not locked doesnt mean ya have to go into it..
as said there is a chance of cold returning , so we'l jus have to wait an see what happens :rolleyes::P

I think we will see big changes over the next couple of runs towards a much colder second half of the month with pressure rising over Greenland. I think we will see a much more solid evolution towards colder weather emerging.

oisingeogho · 15-02-2011 5:10pm

haha where are you getting this from?

darkman2 · 15-02-2011 5:36pm

Once we get a link between the area of hp over Scandinavia and a pressure rise over Greenland then it only goes toward a cold Northeasterly or Easterly airflow. UKMO shows this possibility now. It's much more favourable.

This may take a few days to evolve on the models but the ingredients are nearly there. The one caveat is the high pressure to the South. We would want to see that weaken a good bit more.
