    Some models still not playing ball and continuing to sink it south. Could still have showers brushing south coast with an almost direct easterly wind, but still. Keeping my reservations until Friday at this rate :D

    unfortunately I'm going to have to watch this one from the western seaboard. Most snow will probably be melted by the time I arrive back on Monday.

    They seem to think we are in for more really heavy snow this weekend.

    That's a strange quirk with us in Ireland. It's like we only remember the last event. So now, the next snow event is going to be another record fall, then when it turns out to be the usual scuttery dusting that thaws after 3 hours, we'll reset to presuming that's the way it'll be always and forever more.

    I remember after 2010, people I worked with panicking about the following winter and not taking any leave because they assumed every winter would be snowmageddon.

    could be different if it snows heavily in the hours leading up to the match which looks possible

    **Forecast UPDATED 14th March**


    Turning much colder through Saturday as easterly winds become established across the country with snow showers expected Saturday night and Sunday most especially in eastern and southeastern coastal counties. Some moderate to heavy falls likely with some drifting at times.

    Max temperatures on Saturday 1 to 7c (falling through the afternoon). Sunday, 1 to 3c.

    Frost and ice will be widespread Saturday and Sunday nights with lows of -1 to -5c both nights. Locally lower where snow has settled.

    Possible warnings: Yellow/Orange


    Possible hazards:


    • Snow
    • Ice
    • Frost



    Most likely source of disruption at the current time: Snow showers

    Areas most at risk: Leinster/Munster

    The cold weather may continue in to the early days of next week but it should be drier overall.



    Please keep an eye on the model thread for lots of technical chat, charts and all sorts of other useful information from great posters!

    It looks like we could see a northerly later on if the GFS is correct.
    What a year this has been so far weather wise. Hopefully, given we are entering solar minimum territory, next winter will be epic in terms of snow and depth of cold.

    I'm thinking a beast from the east in January, and all the glory that would entail- record breaking low temperatures, snow on the ground for days without thawing. The bar has been raised ladies and gents!

    At the very least I think 2018 is already a memorable year and one for the history books this early on!

    I think the 12z models Thursday should tell the story on this, but so far evidence for significant snow potential is limited. I expect a few weak streamers and localized 3 to 5 cm type falls if the "major models" are correct so far. The main story will be cold nights and chilly days.

    However, the door is not closed on heavier snow possibilities, if the high is a little slower in asserting itself and we get more gradient combined with lower pressures overall this weekend.

    Will certainly be watching closely as 00z guidance rolls out in a few hours. The east coast North American storm has pretty much done its thing now so the models will have a complete handle on that by now. (It dropped 40 to 70 cm of snow throughout New England into New Brunswick and southern Quebec and has weakened considerably on Wednesday, now drifting north towards Labrador).

    UKMO 00z

    Potentially heavy convective snow showers getting well inland from Saturday evening and overnight. Risk of some drifting of snow at times.

    UKMO is a direct hit at +72 hours! pretty low pressure and the upper deep cold pool right over Ireland = Instability. GFS very similar to the 18z. I know which I'd rather have on board at this timeframe... :cool:

    And the 00z Arpege... Well now this could end up quite a snowy weekend if things keep trending this way, 850s a touch higher here however (Still -10c or lower at times)

    Some of these runs are verging on Orange warning for eastern parts Saturday night and Sunday. Get under a convective shower train at this time of year and quite a bit of snow will fall in a short period of time and it will quickly accumulate.

    Increased risk of thunderstorm activity too.

    Drifting is also a real risk given the powdery nature of the precipitation. Visibility could fall quickly in heavy snow showers.

    I predict "interesting" journeys home Saturday night for party goers.
