    Can I ask why everyone is obsessed with Evelyn :confused: she doesn't seem to know a lot and smiles with the mention of snow as if she hates it!

    Looking at those charts it seems there will be nothing - hail, rain or snow, where it really counts.

    Dublin. :D

    18Z GFS snowline (metres amsl) and 6-hour accumulated snow (kg/m²) for 12 Z Friday. This has the snowline down to sea level through central Ulster.

    6 kg/m² = 6 mm rainfall equivalent (translating to around 12 cm snowfall, assuming a 20:1 liquid water equivalent).

    This is about it for snowfall for this period.

    It's still only the build up.

    We're going to be effin obliterated in January. It will make 82 look like a piece of cake.

    I'm greasing up the sledge now, and going to start buying in the soup next week. Don't forget the gas cyclinders & torches as well, and the elderly neighbours.

    I can't go to sleep at night anymore with excitement (especially thinking of the Evelyn forecasts from the 27th of December onwards). :D

    I'm dreading the next few days. Downpatrick is a lovely wee town but it's very hilly. This time last year it was like a piste with all the snow and ice, which is fine if you're a skier. But if you're an old person or disabled then it's misery. And heaven help the people out in the country.

    I know it can be a nightmare for some people and make even simple things awkward, but from people living in the snow deprived south... We ENVY ye!! We'll gladly take a few cm's of powder if they're unwanted up there ;)

    Are you for real:confused: You obviously don't have to commute to work regardless then! I do not envy them, I feel for them. We're not all snow maniacs staring out the window doing a snow dance :p

    It is strange ok...it does get cold in Cork as well but it rarely snows as most of the real cold weather comes from Northerly or Easterly winds which favours Dublin and Belfast especially during the last 3 winters when the Dublin and eastern regions got a massive pounding...c'est la vie I suppose.

    This is your own opinion? or based on something you read online?

    Hi,

    Just my gut feeling! I love Snow myself and am like a big kid when it snows, but just have a feeling we won't much at all

    Cork is in a weather shadow permanently. MT explained the topography which explains the real existence of a "shield" around Cork.

    You really need a 1947 situation. Arctic cold and high pressure over Scandinavia and low pressure to the southwest pushing up against the bitter air. I think Cork had 2 or 3 memorable snowfalls that year with that set up,with a gale force southeasterly to boot.

    I still believe such a situation could develop in January or late December like this. This mobile zonal westerly regime,while it can last for weeks as it has,eventually has to give way to something different...

    Still and all by our standards the last two winters have been very good, great snowfalls on 10 Jan 2010 and 17 December 2010 and plenty other showers.
