Tis attempting to snow here...sleet

2.5c

ninebeanrows · 22-02-2005 8:59pm

Shower just clipped here looks like there has been a decent dolloping
further north..over to Gonzo where the shower looks to be on top off..

2.1c now

ninebeanrows · 22-02-2005 9:06pm

mmm temp stuck at 2.1 encouraging

Meanwhile the low pressure seems to be in Scotland with winds now
variable.. Not expecting many showers until later although a nice thick
band heading into wicklow and wexford

highdef · 22-02-2005 9:12pm

Got that one too Weathercheck - It was heavy enough. The hail/sleet/ice pellets lasted slightly longer on the cars and driveway than previous showers today - Good sign - Still not expecting anything to lie tonight. Suppose that's a good thing coz if it does snow I'll be doubly happy!

Yeah a lot of cloud here now and a temp of 2c, theres very little wind and there were a few large hail pellets on the car when I looked out a moment ago but it is dry here right now-I'll post when it precipitates.

ninebeanrows · 22-02-2005 9:15pm

Down to 1.8c now with what looks like a shower heading
in from the east

joe316 · 22-02-2005 9:18pm

snowing in clane, north kildare

kleefarr · 22-02-2005 9:21pm

Kilkenny City outskirts (E)

Menacing looking cloud overhead. No precipitation yet. Feels around 2/3 oC.

22-02-2005 9:23pm

SNOWING here now (phew!!)
Breeze is up

Villain · 22-02-2005 9:48pm

Joe316, I have to pass through clane at about half 7 in ths morning so keep the updates going as long as you can.

Back in tullow tonight, and it's currently a light drizzle falling but freezing already. Keep the updates coming people, I'm really hoping on either tomorrow or thursday off, although I still reckon thursday morning will present the most snow.

NocturnalDonkey · 22-02-2005 10:04pm

Monasterevin: 1.0c and just started snowing.

Scubadevils · 22-02-2005 10:29pm

Dublin Airport, 2C with recent snow. Must have just missed me.

22-02-2005 10:35pm

Wicked snowstorm here now-whole place white and piling up

Villain · 22-02-2005 10:35pm

9 o clock Weather said 3cm's accumalations in places in the north and east tonight. Severe frost tonight also with showers tomorrow.

I think tonight will be interesting but I think I'm too far inland and south to get decent snow. Keep the weather reports from kildare coming.

Carlow @21:35: -0.5 with mostly clear sky's, frost is setting in quick, anything that falls will stay.

Mothman · 22-02-2005 10:35pm

temp 4C, drops to 3C around the hail showers. Stones are loud on the window and coming down the flue.

Villain · 22-02-2005 10:39pm

Wheres weathercheck??

I need some guesswork on tullow, earthman care to stick your neck out and give me a % chance of waking to snow?

ninebeanrows · 22-02-2005 10:43pm

Im here

The feature hasnt really developed yet as i have said
earlier, isnt expected to after midnight and will go on
until morning. Should affect the whole east coast and
spread well inland, should give some lucky places upto
10cm's. Would be unlucky if you didnt wake up to a cm or two

More through the night, crappy school tomorrow as have
to go into ENFO in town so well put it this way i highly
doubt i'll be going

LFCFan · 22-02-2005 10:44pm

nada in d15. I've lost all hope of there being any decent snow around here, EVER! Maybe if I stop expecting it, it might come but I won't be holding my breath!!!!

Supercell · 22-02-2005 10:44pm

Forcast : Zero accumulation tomorrow morning or Thursday/friday/sat etc for anyone in Dublin low lying or coastal areas, maybe a fe cm's more for those within Dublin borders and far inland or high up.

Probably lots of snow showers between now and the weekend but if you want snow lying ..buy a house well inland or in the Wicklow mountains ...'cos us Dubs aint seeing ainything settling for the forseeable future.

Frankly with 850 temps of >12C this spell is just going to be a frustraiting annoyance that the sooner is over ./.the better.

ninebeanrows · 22-02-2005 10:45pm

Earthman i want more info

How many cm's 5??

FuzzyZoeller · 22-02-2005 10:46pm

0.9C here in Naas. Hopefully that blob southwest of Dublin on the 9pm radar is heading this way!!

Villain · 22-02-2005 10:46pm

Dublin airport is reporting recent showers.

Earthman have you got that camera working??

22-02-2005 10:50pm

Well the snow is falling here now and its completely cloudy to the northeast where its coming from,I cant see the hills for instance so this is a big block.

Chances of you getting snow in Tullow from this band are high enough.
From looking at the radar its heading inland and west south westwards.

There is a possibility of more showers later but they'd have to develop-at present after this lot there seems to be nothing on the radar bar a few flecks in the whole of the Irish sea.

There is a lot of activity in a straight line band heading into se scotland and Northern England-cant really say what that will do when it hits the Irish sea though. Wcheck has high hopes for it...

ninebeanrows · 22-02-2005 10:51pm

That's ridiculus Longfield :eek:

Hope ye get snowed in tonight

Very pessimistic view...tonight should be
fun and the next 48hrs even more so, Thursday
is looking snowy too..

A few rough times for snow...

From 0000hrs -0900hrs tomorrow - Heavy snow showers & prolonged
Then Showers
From 1700 - 2200hrs tomorrow - Band of snow from the east
Then Showers
Thursday 0600 -1500hrs - Band of snow
Then Showers

So far we have had one band of snow on Monday
so technically were 1/4 of the way through this cold spell
snowise

About 3cms I'd say-nothing humungous-car is covered and the trees are white and theres enough there to make that nice crunch under your feet.
It's gone to just flurries now but the sky is very cloudy.

Camera is borked Irish1

otherwise I'd have had mondays effort up.

22-02-2005 11:01pm

More showers seem to have built up just north of anglesea and are taking the same track southwestwards in a line that the last lot did...
This could be an interesting night allright.

Villain · 22-02-2005 11:03pm

If I'm going to see those showers or the tail end at least, whats the ETA?

22-02-2005 11:11pm

Well after midnight here Id say so the wee small hours for you... though possibly not at all now by the looks of things
The stuff I just had is now hugging the entire wexford coast, it doesnt seem to want to go too far inland - in the last hour its gone a bit inland but more south than inland.
That has a lot to do with the lighter winds tonight compared with last night I think.

The edge of it looks far enough inland to fringe you though.

LFCFan · 22-02-2005 11:21pm

what about west dublin? are we going to see anything? we had a lovely covering last night around midnight that covered the road. Proper powdery stuff. Since then, Nothing!!!

Gonzo · 22-02-2005 11:23pm

havent had much this evening so far, theres some slushy hail on the car, hasnt started to feeze here yet.

Danno · 22-02-2005 11:27pm

On and off sleet for most of the evening, very light. 1.1c here at the moment.

Watching the 15 minute rain radar on Metcheck! Cool.

The echos over Arklow were purple! Must have been very very heavy Earthman.

22-02-2005 11:28pm

Temp has dropped to just a nudge below zero here now and freezing hard totally calm-no wind at all now in a sky with a mix of clear and cloud.

Mark0 · 22-02-2005 11:32pm

Even had snow shower report at Valentia!
.......http://www.met.ie/forecasts/coastal.asp...
...no chance of a proper snow fall in Kerry I guess.

LFCFan · 22-02-2005 11:33pm

where do you guys get your charts, rain forcasts etc etc etc?

It was extremely intense, like as if a powerhose was turned on except it was snow.

I'm guessing you have paid a met check premium subscription there,what did you pay and do you think the extra's are worth it?

Scubadevils · 22-02-2005 11:39pm

anyone know what the latest GFS runs look like? still cold all the way...?

Yup, It was expensive, with the €uro/STG£ rate, £49.99 cost €74 for the year.

It is worth it in times like this!

The 15 minute radar is well worth it, better than waiting for **27z for the BBC and MetO to update theirs!

Did sign-up, the link to the radar is not switched on...

Have you a link to it? I could use the username and password I signed up.

Danno · 22-02-2005 11:50pm

Pressure is higher tonight?

Danno · 22-02-2005 11:52pm

Should be heavy precip with Earthman now?

ninebeanrows · 22-02-2005 11:53pm

Big echoes heading for you again Earthman ye lucky devil

Earthman goes outside for a look

It was freezing last time I was out there...

Double pneunmonia ensues....

Danno · 22-02-2005 11:57pm

Cheers, that worked!

What is the index page of the radar???

23-02-2005 12:01am

*shivers*

Ground frozen solid-temp zero.
Can see the stars directly overhead but its only a hole, theres a large bank of cloud to the east and northeast.
Dry atm

Mothman · 23-02-2005 12:05am

15 miles north of Earthman, it's a balmy dry 4.3C with dewpoint above 0C
Grass temp is 1.7C and there is a decent breeze.
