    1520 update

    Showers will continue tonight and will merge to longer spells of rain, sleet and snow overnight. Accumulations likely, the most over the northern half of the country and over hills and mountains in all areas. Some hail and thunder also with gale force and squally westerly winds, stormy in coastal areas of the west and southwest. Lowest temperatures between zero or minus 1 and plus 3 degrees, risk of icy stretches in sheltered areas most especially in the east and north

    I remember March 2003 in particular as I was pregnant on my first child and everyone was sitting outside the pubs in tshirts and shorts on Paddy's day and I was raging because I couldn't drink. :P It was a glorious month and a great summer as well that year. :D

    Another bright morning. 2.6c and a scattering of snow on the mountains and as low as 300ft.

    It's fair enough saying "WE ONLY GET 2 SEASONS" as a Joke (Which we painfully hear all the time), but how could anyone actually think that?

    I don't know why they say we only get 2 seasons. It feels like 1 to me,

    Er...because we do. We don't have a summer or a winter. Our summer is like a late spring our winter more like late autumn. I'm not joking either.

    Oh how it can change in March. 5.2c at the moment. Little or no wind. And a clear blue delicious sky.

    If the current BBC graphics for early tomorrow morning could be believed, many parts of the east and East Midlands could be in for a treat tomorrow.

    Personally, I wouldn't hold my breath for low lying coastal areas but further inland and upland is likely to be very interesting.

    That being said, how far West the precip reaches is also critical. Evaporative cooling will also play an important role due to this possible event being so knife edged which means that the precip will also need to fairly heavy to make it more wintry and more crucially, for it to stick.

    the ITV weather just showed Leinster all covered in white overnight. Ive a feeling tho that it will just turn out like the other night, wet sleety crap with flakes of snow mixed in and just a cold wet mess.

    I'm surprised with a met eireann warning that a new thread hasn't been open?
    Certainly cold enough over night with uppers -6 and lower.
    Whether ppn will be strong enough is the big question.

    To me it looks like an hour or two of snow tomorrow morning (probably wet on the coast) followed by a rise in temp of 4/5 degrees as soon as the wind turns to the NNE. Raw with strong NNE winds all day.

    That's around about my thinking with regards to low lying areas (away from the coast). Over 100/150m or so, I reckon there could be a longer spell of decent snow and above about 200/250m I would say it could be very decent indeed.....that's my take on it anyway.

    The BBC precipitation radar shows a lot of snow over the east and midlands on Friday Morning. Although it seems to have overplayed the extent of snow on Tuesday. The problem is we've never had a direct feed of cold air to tap into all winter. At this time of year we need it even more.

    So it is possible with the SSW event now confirmed that spring will be delayed further. After an intial warmup, courtesy of the Azores high coming close to us, there are hints of high latitude blocking after mid month, but it just seems to late for proper cold at that stage. A cold April anyone?

    So, it snowed. 4.1c now with a 'ow of 0.1c overnight.


    The amount of snow is pretty harmless.

    No there's not.

    If there was one, It wouldn't be too hard to find though.

    What would be helpful, is if when new threads are made about weather events that the links are posted here, as I Often miss them.

    Heavy shower passed through here in West Clare causing the temperature to absolutely plummet. At 4pm it was a pleasant 8.9c outside, it's now 5.1c, representing an amazing drop of 4.8c in 15 minutes.

    Temperature still dropping too.
