Winter returns next week

    So changes are about to occur and a relapse back to wintry weather is a very real posssibility by Monday with frost and ice and a bitter Northerly wind set to return. Where uncertainty arises is in what form snow occurs - showers or a longer period of sleet and snow. But it is a real possibility that many areas will see snow at least for the beginning of next week and possibly through the week but much more uncertain after Tuesday.

    Im a bit more certain this time - though in fairness I did say two weeks ago there was a snow risk next week. How flukey is that?:D


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,524 ✭✭✭owenc

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,150 ✭✭✭Deep Easterly


    ****e


    I want some real warmth at this stage with some big bastard storms.

    Snow can go to hell for all I care at this time of year. :)

    Latest ECM chart for 120 hours (NE winds with plenty of precipitation)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,279 ✭✭✭Su Campu


    I think the chances of the GFS scenario verifying are less than we're making out. It always takes cold 850s too far south, so I think we'll see major downgrades over the weekend. The ECMWF and UKMO would suggest this too, though there's huge uncertainty among them all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,150 ✭✭✭Deep Easterly

    Positioning and depth of that low seems very uncertain over the last few runs. Will probably deepen, fill and shift location in later runs, but as it stands currently, that chart would bring genuinely nasty feeling weather with cold rain/showers with some sloopy wet sleety type snow at times on the northern edge of the occlusion.

    Half weather as opposed to full on.

    Jean mentioned nothing about cold. Maybe her presence was keeping the temps un-naturaly high.

    Should be quite interesting this, hopefully the front will clear and allow for bubbly convective hail/sleet/snow thunderstorms to develop over land :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,597 ✭✭✭WIZE


    No more Ice and snow please . I just planted a load of plants in my garden and put down a load of Grass seed

    ( Had to rake up all the yellow dead grass from the last Ice Age )

    hi all great to see a sniff of cold again, how about a mad storm and snow DE you like? anyhow anyone know weather forecast or general idea for april 17th in galway,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 873 ✭✭✭InKonspikuou2


    anyhow anyone know weather forecast or general idea for april 17th in galway,

    It will be partly cloudy in the morning with mist clearing by 11:13. Should be bright and sunny by 14:33 but rain will settle in by 17:41 and last for about 56 minutes. The rest of the evening should then be clear skies. Minimum temp of 9c and a high of 15c.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,765 ✭✭✭GSF

    given that it rains 360 days a year, I'm guessing it wont be dry!

    No it's accurate. I seen a frog swimming upside down and backwards in the pond out my backyard. So i put him in the microwave and then used a formula based upon length of time to explode and volume of left over residue to calculate a 100% foolproof forecast for April 17th in Galway.

    Saw the met weather warning as I was about to plant out my 80 broad bean plants. ....carefully grown indoors in trays and hardened off.

    Thank you met...

    Needless to say am keeping them in. Back in the house they will come now too.

    Thankful I got diverted by finding frogspawn here. :D

    Else I would have been digging them up again..That is too much to lose. It really is. We need spring now and warmth.

    Anyone who seeks snow and ice at this time of year needs help... Or a plane ticket to somewhere different. Or maybe both. ;)

    The trees are still bare and it is nearly April; snowdrops only just fading.

    It has been so beautiful not to be cold.

    May the cold snap be short. And warmth blossom the land.

    I'd love a bit of snow :) Although just for a few days then it would be nice to have sunny weather again.

    Yea I agree would love an inch or two of snow, snow showers inbetween sunshine and then temps around 2-3c at day and -4 or so at night so cool by day and cold or so at night

    Your broad beans should be OK. I planted mine out this week and they are doing fine. They are very frost hardy.

    Might get a day or two of surprise snow next week!

    Thankful, young person, that you are not in charge..

    Those kind of temps almost killed some of us. Fingers here still recovering from frostbite. Not joking... Fuel poverty means spring is really welcome and needed.

    And we need to grow food if we are to eat.

    Have you tried estivation? You might enjoy it...

    NB pangea is still on ignore.. it made life easier...

    Sounds grand to have them in; we are high up here and temps tend to be lower.. and my seedlings are tiny still as the house is cold. Often feels warmer outdoors... ;)

    Temps can actually be colder, and usually are, in low lying locations by night under such set ups. Having said that, they are usually warmer by day once the sun kicks in.

    The forecast remains pretty much as is for the moment. An active depression with associated frontal systems will approach from the South on Sunday and Monday and possibly hang around into Tuesday. This will bring heavy rain to Southern and Eastern parts but will have to be watched as it will be coming up against very cold air to the North. It could well turn to snow in these areas through Monday or Monday night. The far North of the country may remain dry. Sleet and snow showers following for Tuesday and Wednesday. So definately turning much colder with a risk of snow. Higher ground pretty much a cert.

    The 18z GFS illustrates perfectly the risk for the South and East of the country in particular as these fronts meet the cold air on Monday

    gfs-2-66.png?18

    gfs-2-72.png?18

    gfs-1-72.png?18

    It's still far from certain but it's at 72hrs out now and getting closer and the main event of the Winter as a whole could well be the last.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,492 ✭✭✭Thomas828


    Snow? Augh! No!! I hate snow at any time of the year. The snowdrops and daffodils have only just come up and we're waiting for the rest of the spring flowers. You know how the old rhyme goes: April showers bring forth May flowers. Snow doesn't. I don't want to see it again, ever!

    about as much chance of snow next week as hving nearly 2 months freezing weather in the Winter in Ireland!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,379 ✭✭✭snow ghost


    Should be interesting, although I'm over the snow at this time of the year... it comes it will be a bit like getting a free pint of guinness that has been sitting around for an hour; if I'd got it a while back would have been great but now it will just be a sloppy taste of what could have been.

    A short while back after the warmth had arrived there was a persistent slither of white stuff clinging to the top of the Reek for ages. I was assured by the old people who live beneth it that it was a definite sign the snow would return as it always does when they see that. And there was me thinking they were wrong.

    I doubt I'll see any but it would be nice to see a bit on top of the mountains.

    Cop on. Graces has been here all during the winter and provided many vivid insights into her often precarious situation.

    You sir are an idiot with no respect.

    Can we get back to the weather. This is what we are on this forum for.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,965 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    Phil Eden had an interesting article two weeks ago, which was about a guy who predicted this years cold winter. This man also maintained, based on the weather pattern for the first couple of weeks in March, that we'd get a brief northerly to start off April before a more mobile pattern with the customary April showers and average temperatures.
