You know the story, post any snow ramping posts and general chitter chatter. Pictures of ramps or crying children here please. Use the event thread for more detailed discussion, pictures, reports etc. Cheers.

Some forecast this morning by MT, if all that comes to pass this could be one for the memory books.

Harry Deerpark · 17-01-2013 9:29am

This post could do with more eye-catching title.

Shamrock841 · 17-01-2013 9:35am

-11c temps at sunrise on the east cost of england! Looks like things are picking up for good snow for us

Cork could well have a wet mild weekend, but next week looks promising.

Unfortunatly my experience of ramps is we all fly up them full of hope, just as you get to the top everything flips and we end up on our arse.

Good thing is this time it looks like a snow ramp and any flip will result in landing in a snow drift

Tabnabs · 17-01-2013 10:08am

Long live the ramping thread!

carltonleon · 17-01-2013 10:12am

What the hell happened overnight ????
I went to bed and all I could hear was ME and Rain ringing in my ears and I wake up and everyone is awash with the joys of a good possibility of snow.
All I can say is Happy Days !!!

ironkiwi · 17-01-2013 10:17am

Thinking of taking a drive up to Sally Gap in the afternoon, what would conditions be like up their today, try and get few pics!

I have to laugh at these threads.......that talks about cold with a possibility of a few snow showers. Cold being the main focus as opposed to snow.

Elmer Blooker · 17-01-2013 10:32am

Look at that depression over Spain and it's associated cold front moving into North Africa. This time last year those depressions were tracking well to the north of Scotland. Great stuff! Charts like that really cheer me up.

I totally agree, doesn't look like no snow fest to me ether!

Tom Cruises Left Nut · 17-01-2013 10:32am

Anyone who has Sky News on, make sure you watch the weather forecast ! All nice and white over us from 6am until midday (which is as far out as they go)

Yep, cold weather with a few snow showers. Met E get attacked because they dont say that the country will be snowbound, when the data doesn't indicate that it will. It's ridiculous!

leahyl · 17-01-2013 10:37am

From ME website:

There is a high probability of a severely cold week. Maxima are predicted to be in low single figures with severe air and ground frosts at night. Strong easterly winds up to mid-week will produce significant wind chill and make it feel bitterly cold everywhere. Some snow showers are possible especially in the east and south where there may be some accumulations but for most areas it will be mainly dry.Freezing fog may develop over the second half of the week as the winds drop and sub-zero temperatures then may persist during daytime.

Victor Meldrew · 17-01-2013 11:04am

I have been enjoying the roller-coaster for the last while, however, this thread may have been "Gazumped" considering this being a level 2 Thread has been declared.

In fact, reading Met.ie, I thought one of us had hacked their forecast after too much whiskey.

Now there is a great idea !!

Dead_Rabbits · 17-01-2013 11:44am

I love this image, Ireland sandwiched between two cold air-masses. Depending on the orientation of that occlusion over Ireland it may result in snow somewhere on Friday!

What is the likelihood of the two air masses converging and pushing that band of mild air to the north or south, also what would be the likely outcome if that was to happen??

Mr Cumulonimbus · 17-01-2013 11:50am

The reaction to MT's forecast this morning is spreading far and wide......

Well the precip will have to fall somewhere over these Islands at this stage, but the question is where. Maybe the UKMO Fax charts will give the best idea this evening. Until then its all guess work!

I'm hoping at least the North Eastern half of Ireland but hopefully a bit further South West!

Spindle · 17-01-2013 12:10pm

Nothing to add to the technical discussion just wanted to share the reaction of some Snow bunnies in the UK to some of this mornings model runs when they wake up and see some of there snow is now not going to happen.

Of course that could be us next Sunday as well

Hi all,

Lurking here like a pervert in the bushes since December 10, have finally bit the bullet.

Living in coastal Donegal so rarely get lying snow, fingers crossed for a light dusting and a hard frost in the near future :-)

Any thoughts on the following? -

Have to drive Donegal Derry Dublin on Saturday and back on Sunday, disaster?

Huge thanks to all on this forum, it's been a real education!! The past couple of weeks especially have been pretty emotional :-D

Cheers.
