ECM is coming out now.
That's pretty disruptive for alot of the country especially the east with plenty of snow showers.
Despite everything the last few weeks have taught me about the difficulties of seeing perfect conditions for snow on our luke warm rock, I can feel myself getting sucked in, yet again. Thanks Darkman

NP - ECM at 192 is "interesting" and extremely cold for Ireland throughout with very very low temperatures and snow mostly in the East toward the end of next week as pressure rises. Still this would produce flurries and exceptionally low temperatures.
Quite extraordinary
Record low temperatures inland?0 -
Absolutely solid ECMWF tonight.. Bitterly cold conditions persisting to T+168 and beyond..
For once we have them at T+72 also.. Darkman2 is correct in that if ECMWF has the pattern correct tonight, out to T+168 and beyond, then there would indeed be snowfalls in the Northeast, East and Southeast in particular. The snow risk later on, from around T+144 would transfer to areas from Dublin southwards.
Even out to T+168 and beyond Easterly/Northeasterly winds persist with a continued risk of snowfall, especially further south.
That's not to say that the next run won't change but if ECMWF out to T+168 tonight were to develop exactly as modelled, then there would be disruptive cold and snow, particularly in the areas mentioned above, but with everywhere at risk from severe cold.

Waterford is at risk of snowfall based on all of the multi model guidance that we have seen this afternoon/this evening.
That's not saying it will happen by any means, however it is certainly in the general risk zone from for example, even the latest ECMWF guidance, especially East Waterford.
Again though, that's not by any means a guarantee, but the trend is very positive if you are hoping for snow.0 -

I notice Met Eireann as early as tonights radio broadcast has picked up on Tuesday and Wednesdays risk in the East[so unlike early this morning they must be looking at the ensemble data that we don't see and recognising a risk] and North-more especially the East I'd imagine but I haven't looked at the detail too much yet...as I havent had the time...I'm too busy pegging snowballs

They will have to mention it pretty soon. This is serious disruption potential

I do hope you get a bit of snow in Cork and Waterford city but snow is so rare there that it is difficult to predict when this may happen. The East is dry in general but colder so when the east or northeast wind blows it generally snows a bit like in February ( a lot) and New Year's eve - also quite a lot depending on where abouts on the East coast you are. In the Dublin/Wicklow mountains there is literally feet of it with reports of up to 7 and 7 feet in drifte in Sally Gap. Do not worry I have the pictures and will post them tomorrow. I went up in my 4x4. Castleknock and Lucan in Dublin had quite a lot with a good covering in Drumcondra too.:)
Ffarrell, do you think we could get more this evening, or it is all forecast for later? Ive been looking at the charts, but cant yet understand the times and stuff yet.
Thanks 0 -
Evelyn Cusack seems to think the northern half of the country is set for a dusting of snow tomorrow evening, said it'll prob fizzle out a bit as it goes south but im hopeful
Today's weather bulletin signalled heavy snow showers tomorrow in Ulster, Connacht and Leinster, particularly Dublin area, and now although they have amended the Dublin forecast to wintry showers tomorrow evening, they have not amended the leinster one although Dublin is in mid/North leinster. They reallt seem to make it up as they go. Now the say rain, sleet and snoe in Ulster and connacht but 'light'!!!!! You cannot win with them.:mad:0 -

Well I spent the night in Birr last night (and awoke there to freezing fog and -4°C this morning) so missed the only snowfall of the winter so far, but imagine my delight to come back to a proper wintry scene this afternoon!
Max temperature today was -1.0°C, currently -4.1°C and falling like a stone. Dewpoint -4.5°C. I think freezing fog is going to become a widespread problem as the air cools to dewpoint over snow and icey surfaces.
The low being talked about east of Scotland is a lee cyclone, formed by the northeasterly airstream over the norwegian mountains. That looks like being a contributor to tomorrows weather as it moves southwestard and troughs out as it does. Ahead of it, winds will be northwesterly, veering around to northeasterly as it travels down the country. This northeasterly brings with it up to a drop in H850 temperatures, with -10°C making it into northeastern Ireland midnight Saturday night.
Although only -5°C H850 ahead of the trough, dewpoints look like being subzero for the north and northwest coasts, so what showers do develop should be of a wintry nature. This will continue as the trough passes, but with the northeasterly now in place, northeastern Ulster should be in a snow shadow, leaving showers confined to the northwest from Derry west, and eastern coastal fringes, like last night.
A nice true easterly sets up shop on the Irish Sea Sunday, which should mean more snow showers for regions from Wicklow to Down. Also this setup could lead to the development of a convergence line off the southeast coast, running east-west, so we could be looking at some sleet-snow showers if this infringes on the south coast late Sunday.

Looking at the 850mb temperatures for the ECMWF 12Z run, there is the risk of some very severe minima at times. Out to T+168, the 850mb temperatures begin to approach -11 in Eastern areas, which is very severe indeed. There is the risk of minima air temperatures going below -12C if these charts are to be proven correct - Very dangerous cold with the combined risk of snowfall in the areas exposed to the flow - Northeast, East & Southeast.
From later on Monday, the real risk of snowfall appears to get going. Northern areas are at risk of snowfall later on Monday night:
Later into Tuesday, snow showers begin to develop over the Irish Sea, beginning to move onshore in Eastern areas. Areas of precipitation will also form off the South Coast, with a slight risk of snowfall in exposed coastal areas here:
Later on Tuesday night, into Wednesday, a period of potentially sustained snowfall later on Tuesday and throughout Wednesday in Southeastern & Eastern areas - certainly a risk to be watched as we get closer to realtime verification.

Finally experienced -10c in Waterford this winter, but at 5,500ft !
Took a spin in the plane earlier on for a snow watch. Nothing at all to report in Waterford in the lines of snow. Good bit up the country though.
I took the plane up to 5,500ft above the Comeraghs, nice covering on top, but the snow line stopped exactly where the little access road runs to the mountain and the car park. It's as if it's taunting us !
Very strange fog, I could see it building over the river on my way out to the Comeraghs, out there for 15 mins, then on the way back it took over the city and extended to just on the airport boundary. Then it all disappeared within 15 mins.
Cool, not everyday ye read that, I took the plane for a spin
Will ye bring me for a spin??? will ye will ye ?:D0 -
