He worded it like a true pro though, with words like, IF, MIGHT, POTENTIAL, POSSIBLE etc. before any mention of snow. We all know it's a bit of a ramp though

Better then Met E they just say "Rain"

Personal Abuse. It will not be tolerated here. It does not matter if it is directed at a boards member or not. All personal abuse will receive either an infraction or ban, it is at the mods discretion. Also see Boards.ie rules of etiquette

Don't abuse people personally It’s not big and it’s not clever. If you can’t convey your point without abusing someone personally then you don’t have a point to make and perhaps you should close your browser and come back when you are calmer. Not only will you have had the benefit of cooling off if something’s caused your blood to boil, you’re a lot more likely to make a far more incisive, killer point. The great joy of this platform is that you don’t have to answer something immediately; you have time to construct your point and de-construct any arguments against your point.You either are an adult or you are aspiring to become one. This isn’t a crèche and if we have had to invoke this rule to stop you from abusing someone, and you feel like we are treating you like a child, you might want to consider why that is.This site is for a wide variety of civil, adult discussion. Personally abusing someone is immature. Grow up.

Not for tonight or tomorrow anyway - looks to be Ulster and North Leinster most at risk

We'll be very lucky to see snow, 10C here at the moment.

In fairness he repeatedly emphasised that it will turn to snow, initially there and inland/higher ground further north. No mention of how bad it will be on higher ground though... Also, I think the Carrickmacross man could and should have emphasised the likelihood of snow lying in his home town tomorrow!

I don't think most people realise just how horribly cold it will feel in driving, blustery sleet in many parts of the country!! Met Eireann need to highlight the bitter windchill and by extension how important it will be to stay dry and warm tomorrow.

Kippure

All higher ground is going to get pasted out of it. Happy days.

whitebriar

Whats he going to say when theres snow on the m50 by this time tomorrow? claim its a mountain? scratch that,I doubt he cares.
Any decent forecaster with an interest in weather would have done a better forecast that that one!

Latest forecast from RTE 4-10 c. Stick a fork.....

Our Gerry, who art in ‘Nevin,
Hallowed be thy Game;  
Thy forecast come,  Our snow be done  
On Cork as it is in Dublin.  
Don’t give us today, our daily dread;  
And forgive our ramp excesses  
As we forgive those who unramp against us;  
And lead us not into downgrades,  
But deliver us a Blizzard.

I thought it was a good forecast that did mention a lot of snow for the Wickla hills?

How would you propose he do the forecast?

Like Evelyn,explanatory style.
Also he could have been less general about mtns and mention towns like car rick across or Rathdrum to get no snow tomorrow...
Chances of disruption.. you know like they did in Ni.

You aren't confused, you just don't want to muck up your chances of getting a job in glasnevin

I understand that angle but its a tad meh

And I think you are just being petty, he covered all possibilities in that forecast but obviously you just heard what you did not listen to just to suit your own personal gripe against the met. Go to RTE Player and listen to the forecast again.

What gripe,that's all in your head boy

I criticise Gerry and praise Evelyn and that's a gripe?
Gripe me eye.
Some people are better at weather presenting,that's all.
Gerry doesn't cut it for me when forecasting is complicated.
Everyone else in met E does complicated winter forecasts better tbh.

pistolpetes11

Decent forecast from the baul Gerry there

dacogawa

I think Gerry's put his neck out with the amount of times he said "hills" after "snow" if it does get down to lower levels...

Coffee n chocs

He used the S word.

He said SNOW

Hooray!

So simple and yet so meaningless.

JanuarySnowstor

Well if you look at the 18z for tomorrow you would say Gerry is spot on.
Thickness, dew points, uppers, temps all look too high to support any lowground snow away from NI.

I might have been slating Gerry's forecast last night but tonight I think he is right and I think the beeb are over doing it

icesnowfrost

I wonder would Gerry get in trouble if it did snow and stick at lower levels coz he said it wouldn't

kingshankly

Not a great forecast for snow there.
There is a vast contrast between met eireanns forecast and the forecast of some people in here.
Here's hoping we get some, it's turned very windy but still 7 degrees here in south armagh

I think some folks need to realize how much weight people give a forecast from a Met Eireann forecaster

Look at the numbers on this forum tonight , nearly 900 because Gerry mentioned a bit of cold weather and some snow on the hills ,( I was on Netweather last week and I think they broke there record of 1200 people online , prob been broken again but it goes to show the intense intrest over here on what the weather will do)

met Eireann have a duty of care to people and are quite correct not to ramp events until there nailed on ,

It would cause bedlam in the country if they did .

Those empty supermarket shelves in Wales would be nothing to what would go on here

Forecast very fair in my mind.

I hope Met Eireann are right with their forecast for tomorrow.

NAE Dew points dont support their forecast.

Gerry was spot on with the forecast.
