Streamers are thickening

hyperborean · 27-03-2013 07:47PM

I think tomorrow is going to be surprising,

They look promising alright. I bet the wind changes direction again just as they hit the coast and they break up. That's usually what happens as far as I can see.

That one heading in Meath/Louth looks particularly juicy!

Seems to be a bit more of a NE rather than ESE component coming into play which (if it verifies and continues) will likely mean the distribution of the northern streamer (currently mainly affecting Louth and north Meath) will begin affecting areas further south - Most of Meath, north Dublin, north Kildare and perhaps a few other areas. The sun is gone now and temps are falling back so we will be shortly hitting sticky snow territory right down to sear or at sea level.

highdef · 27-03-2013 07:59PM

There also appears to be a big clump heading for the Dublin metropolitan area

Petrol_Head · 27-03-2013 08:09PM

About to head From Sligo to Leitrim, Cavan, Fermanagh, Monaghan, Louth, to Laytown Co. Meath.

Come at me snow.

Was up in Stepaside and the mountains seem to have a nice covering from around 400m up (complete guesstimate, the hills behind the golf course have snow in them and I haven't a clue how high it is

)

Amazing once the sun goes down, snow sticking here now fields turning white

Rougies · 27-03-2013 08:14PM

The Dublin and Wicklow streamers are being assholes. Meanwhile the Louth/Meath one is a shining example of how to get your bloody act together.

OH, and I see the IOM shadow is starting to show now that things are getting interesting. Suprise suprise. Grrrrr.

I'm pretty sure it's not the IoM causing this. Look at the radar, it's having no impact on the path of the showers http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

hollster2 · 27-03-2013 08:22PM

why is it wen it gets colder n darker snow bloody stops hurry up lol

whitebriar · 27-03-2013 08:23PM

Very heavy snow shower in Arklow now.
Entire place white for the first time today.

Rougies · 27-03-2013 08:27PM

Bits of green and yellow showing in the Louth streamer. Nice.

Meanwhile the Dublin one is breaking up as it hits the coast.

Wicklow one doing a bit better now as Whitebriar just confirmed

I agree it's not the main cause at the moment. But it certainly isn't helping either.

ThaitaniumM · 27-03-2013 08:30PM

It's been infuriating this year. Although it did temporarily collapse this morning.

DOCARCH · 27-03-2013 08:33PM

From watching the radar the last while, the IOM shadow was in play for Dublin (i.e. we have been in the shadow for a while), but, I think in the last hour or so there has been a subtle wind change and it will be game on again in a little bit for Dublin again...hopefully southside!

Rougies · 27-03-2013 08:37PM

I hope you're right Docarch. I'm incapable of rational thought at the moment. Every new frame I feel like this...

Especially because tonight is probably our last decent chance of the winter(spring).

I think I'll step out for a while before something gets broken/somebody gets hurt :P

It was crazy around 9am @ UCD. I thought that if it kept up like that for another few hour...the carnage

Tom Cruises Left Nut · 27-03-2013 08:44PM

Definite shift in the wind looking at the NW Extra radar. I think its game on for Sallins now !

ZX7R · 27-03-2013 08:44PM

Ile of man was defiantly casting a Shadow,you can really see it on the meto radar.co.uk
