He does ask me to post for him here a lot, on Twitter since he closed his most recent account.

Hopefully the Beast from the East 2018 2019.... will bring back some of the old boys and girls that used to be here a lot. Some great knowledge here.

The trend is your friend as we say and the signs are trending the right way so far ......... I have a feeling this will be a very interesting winter.....

I hope so anyway as I got me a 4x4

Ah back to the weather forum for the winter great to be back

A picture from my work in our last snowfall to get in the mood I went to work and never came home for 4 days

KingdomRushed · 13-11-2018 5:46pm

Well worth checking out the 12z GFS, yet another upgrade, a powerful Greenland high on display in latter frames with easterly influence to our weather slowly edging toward the reliable. No backing down whatsoever. In fact it shows a remarkable similarity to November 2010 with a potent north east airflow running from the arctic to Ireland

Reckless Abandonment · 13-11-2018 6:25pm

northerly anyone

Captain Snow · 13-11-2018 6:48pm

Off the Wall Charts. Hope you all have Snow Shovels. :eek:

Get runs for the time of year.

Artane2002 · 13-11-2018 6:49pm

I've been trying to stay quiet on the forum for a bit but I can't... these charts are too mouth-watering! Even if this chance fails, I'm sure we'll have more chances throughout the winter. That 1068 hPa high over Greenland is nuts on the GFS 12z!

Reckless Abandonment · 13-11-2018 6:54pm

heading the right direction

Just let's see if the ECM is following the same script - then the beast might be incoming later on. if so prepare for scenes like these:D

it might not be as good as the above pictures;)

Don’t like the chart above -no snow down south:-( I know, I know, early days but still...no fair!! *sulks

Oof here’s to hoping that’s just general snow chat inaccuracy and it does infect reach us in Cork City

Then again it’s also expected to be a northerly, we generally don’t do great from them.

KingJeremy · 13-11-2018 10:49pm

I’ve been haunting this thread the past couple of weeks. I’ve no knowledge when it comes to weather forecasting or reading charts...just really keen for some snow this winter. All signs looking good so far &#55358;&#56606;&#55358;&#56606;

NMB · 13-11-2018 10:52pm

I can’t beleive hatrickpatrickess is calling out thenacholibress and nacho hasn’t even done a Eskimo snow dance (or admitted to) anyways I’m just saying kittyn up at her elevation has a car that can drive over snow so I’m slipping her a tenner for milk an bread over January

sdanseo · 13-11-2018 11:56pm

I think it's safe to say I've hedged my bets now.

icesnowfrost · 14-11-2018 12:54am

Things looking cold end of next week and maybe a prolonged cold spell. Nothing to interesting just yet but good signs.

adocholiday · 14-11-2018 1:23am

I was hoping my first winter in Wicklow would be mild, give me time to get my stuff in order. No such look it would seem! I better get some snow socks for the car or I'll be working from home from December to March ha!

Well I know we know this, but I do like it when he posts about Europe....

Reckless Abandonment · 14-11-2018 8:04am

ECM is looking great this morning blocking all over the place. GFS looks good to. Will feel a hell of a lot colder this time next week. Enjoy the warmth while we have it.

bazlers · 14-11-2018 8:53am

I liked the last paragraph of MTs daily forecast. I also liked his minimum temp guess (which as we all know is only a bit of fun) in the fact he mentions February as well. It gives winter a more prolonged feel to it...
