Dublin seems to be in a shadow all snow in Wicklow

Macy0161 · 27-01-2014 12:32AM

Still have a negative dew point, but just rain here now. Anything lying has gone, at this level at least.

All gone here now in Kilmacanogue area. Looking forward to taking a trip up the mountains tomorrow, hopefully some fluffy stuff up there

I think that's due to wifi signals, it appears on the radar quite a bit (correct me if I'm wrong please) or Laois couldn't hold any longer

If its any consolation, we have had a Siberian blast the last week (Poland). Usually we are dominated by a Russian high for February, as its the coldest month here. But after Weather forecasters here predicting a very cold February, last nights TV forecast stated a backtrack saying the Atlantic is going to become too powerful and dominant from the end of this week, so all of Europes weather will be dictated by the Atlantic. -21 here this morning, but by the weekend it will be more like 0. It seems as soon as the Low pressures head north instead of south it spoils it for everyone!

There was a large amount of activity on that map around 10pm-1am last night and I was unaware there was a nearby thunderstorm.

The map auto-updates so it's not showing now what it was last night.

I was on a train from Dublin to cork last night and the track was struck by lightening and blew all the signals near thrules around 10 o clock during a snow shower. so I think there was thunder snow around. or else the train driver thought we should all sit on a train in the middle of nowhere for 2 hours. while engineers walked around the track.

icesnowfrost · 28-01-2014 12:09AM

This looks very nice if it happens

MidMan25 · 28-01-2014 12:19AM

That is the definition of Cork snow shield! ^

ECM looking stormy at 96 hours.

and again from day 7 onwards. Purely FI so unlikely to happen but this morning's output has an almost Feb '90 look about them. Hopefully we can get those projected higher temps into western Europe by then to help tighten the temp gradient even more to help beef up potential.

Showers streaming onto s wicklow now off the Irish sea.

If only it were January..

Oh wait...

Larbre34 · 28-01-2014 12:23PM

Maybe later some colder air will be dragged in, as the Low is only drifting very slowly SSE. The BBC certainly progged it as a risk this morning.

Any upper level snowfall worth reporting so far?

Despite the sunshine and high temps,there are still small snow drifts at the coillte woods above 800ft 5miles west of Arklow from Sunday's snow showers!.
I'd imagine these showers are still falling as wet snow right on the peak of Lugnaquilla.
There is good cover up there.
Models are copping on to the vigorous Atlantic now ,less mirage runs.

May all your winters be white with Blizzards.

acassells80 · 28-01-2014 02:24PM

Any chance for snow in Dublin this week ?

Higher ground all this week. Keep an eye on where the minus 5 850,s are.

There will be warm sectors within these 850,s temputures. Go by each GFS run as a guide.

You would want to be hiking in the Dublin Wicklow Rockies all this week to catch some snow.

Larbre34 · 28-01-2014 02:45PM

Only blizzards you'll see this week
