ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 7:07am

Dont get me wrong lads im delighted for ye..

Just typical that it managed to stay dry all night here :mad:

Really feel like crap!

billy the squid · 23-02-2005 7:10am

wouldnt worry about it, you were expecting a repeat of 1963 these things happen. didnt you get snow last night, i havent seen any.

Never again i tells u tonite has taught me something :mad:

1. Epiphany
1. A Christian feast celebrating the manifestation of the divine nature of Jesus to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi.
2. January 6, on which this feast is traditionally observed.
2. A revelatory manifestation of a divine being.
3.
1. A sudden manifestation of the essence or meaning of something.
2. A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization: “I experienced an epiphany, a spiritual flash that would change the way I viewed myself” (Frank Maier).

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 7:17am

I was expecting no 63'.
Anyways theres more where the snow that people have got
today coming your way during the day and a cold front will
approach from 1500hrs. Temperatures wont get above 3c today

billy the squid · 23-02-2005 7:18am

see it aint all bad.

billy the squid · 23-02-2005 7:21am

tell you what though the people who run that premium rate weather call phone number are loosing their money by the minute. have had their webcam streem running for the past two hours.

Villain · 23-02-2005 7:27am

Well I went 2 miles and gave up, no way was I going to drive 50 miles this morning, the roads are snow white and very very dangerous.

There was a decent shower here for the last 30 minutes stopped now but there at least 2 inches here, on the lawn there even be 2 and a half.

Weathercheck I wouldn't give up yet tonight could bring a surprise.

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 7:29am

Well a brief hail shower really capped of the night and morning
like a punch in the face after being tortured for days..

Chin up for me anyway and i'm jealous of those lucky people
who will wake up to a fair dollop expecially in North Dublin
and Meath

More showers through the morning and then as i mentioned the cold front
towards afternoon

Villain · 23-02-2005 7:32am

But there won't be enough cloud cover to stop the thaw will there?

Oh and what do you expect that cold front to bring?

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 7:41am

Well latest satellite and radar imagery of the cold front
that it is very very active although it will dy over the
pennines in England and then have to reinvigore over the
Irish sea so dotn really know. Really want a heavy snow shower
to give me an excuse for no school

Development of the cold front could be very stark
and is now, the development of a polar low
of sorts is possible

billy the squid · 23-02-2005 7:48am

which map do you have the polar low showing up

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 7:51am

There's no polar low atm but the cold front is very active
it's now coming into eastern england as the white band

ok 4.15am snowing again and 'sticking' even on the coast(wicklow) at lower levels Id imagen a couple of miles inland has a fair dusting by now.

I'm a couple miles north of Wicklow town. Got 1.5mm precipitation overnigt. It has practically all thawed, though I can see a 5mm "drift"

A fantastic hale around the moon. Can see snow on the hills and some cloud to my north. Soe radar echoes ove rthe mountains but can't see those clouds.

Earthman is probably digging out his cows, or getting out his upstairs windows. I think he has had th biggest dumping.

Plenty echoes over the sea. Looks like a good line of showers through Louth into Meath.

Temp is lowest of night at =1.0C Dewpoint just below 0C and grass temp is now falling, down to -1C. Wind is variable.

23-02-2005 7:56am

Good deep powdery cover here 15 miles south of mothman and still snowing!!

23-02-2005 7:59am

road here is completely white with hard packed snow,if I had school I wouldnt be going

And as of last night the n11 wasn't treated,I'll bet theres war this morning about that

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 8:00am

What a load of guff eh

One lousy 3 minute light hail shower at 6am was all the
precip i got all night :eek: :rolleyes:

billy the squid · 23-02-2005 8:00am

said on RTE one that the sally gap is closed.

Mothman · 23-02-2005 8:06am

Cloud moving over from north. Don't see any precipitation. A bizarre white cloud to my SW. Looks like white emulsion paint. I wonder if its something to do with lying snow.

Mothman · 23-02-2005 8:07am

Looks like I'm just about to be hit. Shower approaching from north. Hopefully it won't slide off to my west.

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 8:08am

Well i think the next 36-38hrs could be sensational plenty
of periods of snow possible as the cold spell swings into gear.

Already talk in Britain of drifting snow through Northwest England
and Wales, the frontal band is expected to affect areas in the
east tomorrow.

First this active cold fron approaching from North England

Mothman · 23-02-2005 8:14am

Hail. Looks heavy to my north.

Sally and Wicklow gap closed and N11 is bad in places with overturned lorry on newtown'kennedy bypass.

Ground is white now with this hail shower.

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 8:14am

Gone below freezing here now.. -0.3c
Variable cloud with something more threatening
to my east

Mothman · 23-02-2005 8:17am

It's already stopped

I think the bulk of it did pass to my west.

Villain · 23-02-2005 8:18am

This is unreal, you would want to see the snow falling in tullow at the moment, heavy very heavy, I could see it coming and it didn't disappoint.

We'll have over 3 inches soon, just not sure how long it will last. The footprints I made half an hour ago are covered back over again.

Lafortezza · 23-02-2005 8:21am

Hail in Dublin Airport at about 0645, heavy shower for about 10 minutes. Nothing else fell really tonight, small amount of sleet.

23-02-2005 8:21am

snowing lightly again here now and very black clouds to my east - looks like that will be here shortly.The whole place just looks like a winter wonderland

Temp just below 0 wcheck if you dont see heavy snow showers today I'll eat my hat

AlienGav · 23-02-2005 8:24am

Weathercheck!! There's about 2cm of snow in walkinstown, Dublin!
Excellent predictions, you the man!

I can ski to college now and not look like a prat! :cool:

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 8:26am

Snowing hard in central Dublin although the heat from the city
is making sure it doesnt stick like earlier..
http://www.ireland.com/weather/cam.htm

23-02-2005 8:28am

very heavy snow falling now settling well on top of the stuff that fell overnight

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 8:31am

I'll laugh it off but all this is making me go mad

:eek: :mad:
Temperature -0.6 with perhaps a light shower approaching
to my east

Villain · 23-02-2005 8:37am

The shower in tullow is unreal, I haven't seen snow like this since the 90's. Huge flakes falling and the sky is grey all around. This is amazing.

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 8:43am

Anotehr shower slips away south..

Anger is turning to fury :eek:

Mothman · 23-02-2005 8:44am

Whiteout
That hail resterted and has now turned to snow which is getting heavier. Sticking quite well. Getting close to one cm lying.
Temp +1c. Dewppint at 0C

Just got light now, but no clearance in sight.

Mothman · 23-02-2005 8:46am

It may be sticking , but it is thawing as well.

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 8:46am

:eek: Honestly this is just an absolute joke!!

AlienGav · 23-02-2005 8:46am

Good strong snow shower in Wakinstwn now!

Bring it on!

lucernarian · 23-02-2005 8:47am

Report from the world of To Be Confirmed:
Yesterday was a bit of a non-event, the precipitation that did hit louth was almost always hailstones/frozen rain.

Did very well Monday morning, snowed for 7 hours flat in some shape or form, stopped at 1pm. Melted by 3 pm:(

I woke up this morning (1 hr ago) to see a whiteout with 2 inches of snow!! It snowed further and it's now approaching 3 inches! Anymore and I could have a day off, because living in a hilly area makes for very dangerous driving. I dont remember depths like this since 2001, when my primary school was officialy closed:D and the roads further up the road had to be cleared with a bulldozer :eek: Snow has just stopped, leaving 3 inches in its wake:) Fingers crossed I wont have to go to school

And more to come!!

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 8:48am

Snowing about 1 mile south of here..yet nothing :eek:

Mothman · 23-02-2005 8:49am

has stopped snowing. Now clear to my north. Thaw continues.

23-02-2005 8:49am

Completely closed in all round here now and very dull-snowing heavily :eek:

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 8:56am

Were jinxed :eek:

Villain · 23-02-2005 9:00am

Shower has cleared tullow open skys above but to the east the cloud cover is keeping the sun hidden for now.

Another shower off to the north east, might catch the tail of it but probably to far to the east to get it.

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 9:04am

just a warning about the snow shower that passed around
500m to my south, it is heading into the city centre now :eek:

Yes 500m no joke saw snow falling next door :eek:

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2005 9:06am

The cold front has now formed a interesting line
http://www.avbrief.com/newcharts//20050223RDUK97V0745_lradar_0.gif

Should be interesting when it peps up over the Irish sea, could
be an interesting afternoon

The ETA of the front is around 12 - 1 for the east coast

23-02-2005 9:12am

Copy that!

Meanwhile the heavy snow is getting worse here, sky is black all round now -visibility down to about 100 metres or less probably

Lafortezza · 23-02-2005 9:18am

More hail at the airport, visibility is all over the place from 30km down to 4000m, clouds are down to 100ft then back up to 2500ft.
Forecast showing more of the same, low vis, snow and hail showers.

Darwin · 23-02-2005 9:19am

Pah! Not as much as a flake here in Laois. Maybe we had our snow quota yesterday morning....

kenmc · 23-02-2005 9:27am

still snowing heavy in Leopardstown. nice big flakes. some snow ~1-2cm on grounds, roads clearing.

Scubadevils · 23-02-2005 9:29am

:mad: :mad: :mad:
bits of hail on the ground in Lusk about sums it up here.
Sounds like a lot of lucky people elsewhere around the country.
Why of why cant we have some???
All I ask is one day where I can skip work because of snow

FuzzyZoeller · 23-02-2005 9:33am

O.3C here in Naas. Light dusting of snow (not half as much as this time yesterday), but it's of the more powdery kind this morning. Also, very dark looking clouds overhead. Here's hoping!!!
