    Nah WC im a realist.Its not that i dont want it to snow,i do.But you have to face full facts here and not what some precip chart tells you.
    Honest to good God i am looking at my console and any time the wind swings east the temp lifts a point of a degree.Thats a 5mph wind speed at that.
    The air is crisp and dry with Hum at 62% and DP -1.9c.Will rise in the onset of cloud which is the obvious and norm.

    Ha! - Digi cam is charged and ready to go!!

    BTW - Have a look at my weather station today. Could very well end up with a negative mean temp.

    If Met Eireann have not called for snow yet its because theres no need for it,its only there profession.

    Still think there be no snow on east facing coasts.
    Now my reason for saying this is because of the last hour i have been watching my thermometer drop from 6.1 to 4.7c with a gentle North wind blowing and in the last 15mins it has swung into an NNE to East direction and is stuck at 4.6c. and rising to 4.7 again.
    My old foe the Irish sea keeping us nice and warm.

    I seriously cant see any snow falling here or on the coasts.
    Mines at 3.6c now and a -1c dp (peaking at 5.1c briefly earlier) with a stiff 5 to 10mph NE off the sea all day.
    Thats going to be maybe 30 mph late wenesday night into thursday with a wind run sourced off GB where temps will be -4 to -8c.

    Given that this will be coming at night,DP's will be key and air temps dare not go above 3c-I fear they might.

    Interestingly the M2 buoy has been no more that 4 c or so all day with negative dew points so that bodes well for Dublin.

    Me though,I am very borderline here in South Wicklow and won't be surprised if I wake up to the infamous sleety rain thursday morning.

    Its not beyond possible that there will be a few snow flurries this evening in some eastern areas as winds swing to the east tonight.. Probably will mean the frost wont be as severe too ;)

    Latest UKMO puts us straight in the firing line for snow and the max temps on Thursday show this. Look at the temps in the Irish sea. This is 1pm on Thursday.

    Okay the Met will simply HAVE to forecast this event for Thursday.. It is priming up to be the most significant snowfall in many years.. in what has been a snowless mild winter, we are not prepared..

    After my French exam tomorrow i'm going set up some 30cms rulers around the garden! Get some snaps for the befor/after collection:D

    I have my new digi camera and all!

    Thursday in Brussels will see possibly some rain preceded by snow in the early afternoon but milder air pushing through with temps back up to 7c by evening..;)

    Wet weather becoming widespread Wednesday night or Thursday and with the temperatures low there's likely to be some falls of snow for while. Frost and fog for Thursday night and early Friday with some rain or sleet in places mainly Northern places. For Friday and the weekend its still looking unsettled and it'll feel chilly.

    Anyone hear the ramp on RTE radio by the met just now?:D ;)


    Snow Connaght and Lienster - moderate accumulations.

    Rain coming from south turning readily to snow.


    Oh and Tristame here is a beauty of a chart for you at 48hrs:D :D:D

    http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=charts;type=ukmomod;sess=


    Look at the 528 line:D

    Look where the front and 528 DAM line are on Friday. Snow all the way through the front I would suggest.

    Yup just heard it too.:D it was nice to hear meteireann mention "accumulations" when it's so rare these days. Although i did not like the way he seemed certain that it would turn back to rain and get mider after thursday.

    TBH looking at todays charts I would favour it not turning back to rain. ;)

    Is it possible still that the low will track further south as I note Steve M saying...would that ruin the sleety rain for us? :D
