Snow Reports/ Chat - Potential Blizzards & Heavy Snow - 29/11/2010

OH MY GOOOOOOD!!!!!! AAAAARRRGHHHHH!!!:mad::mad: When are we getting snow???!!!!!!!!!!.......................

...........sorry rant over:o

I seem to recall MT saying the temps would rise slightly around this time before the siberian cold took over. So far he looks to be on track

any1 got a link for the green sat24.com animated map for the uk and ireland:)

Agree with Weathercheck, (albeit I am reporting from city centre) if this can so readily change to rain then I wouldn't fancy much in the line of 8 inches of snow in Dublin. The alert really should have reduced those amounts firstly, except for the highest ground along the east coast. Secondly there's one airmass arriving over the east coast which is a bit warmer and this will only last until tomorrow morning. The 30-hour warning they issued should have been split into two different warnings about pre 10am tomorrow and post 10am tomorrow weather.

I suggest that people don't get carried away with their hopes for snow today in Dublin city and surrounding low-lying areas. There's tomorrow to look forward to;)

:D:D:D
ok its just started to snow lightly now,
got me hot chocolate & marshmallow and watch

Started to snow, then turned to sleety rain, now almost stopped.

Thawing fast now with the light rain.

Lol

Whatever happens at the moment or later later, it's worth pointing out again I think that Met Eireann are only forecasting a risk of heavy snow to begin tonight/tomorrow.

Melting fast now with the rain

Fairly heavy now in Swords. Hurrah!

Inland (over 12km) spots should expect snow showers that will stick, when the M2 buoy reaches about 5 degrees perhaps or a bit less? The dewpoint will also need to head to 1 degree or below.

For coastal parts of Dublin, I'd want the dewpoint no higher than 0.5 degrees and the air temp into the 3.x degree range.


Meanwhile, it looks like the folks will be getting plenty of snow currently, NRA Dunleer just about has negative dewpoints and there's a a nice cluster of snow heading into the south area. I imagine it will fall as sleet in Drogheda itself, the higher surrounding ground may keep it as snow or wet snow.

this stuff aint the big show, very light showers dying fast in the irish sea, the forecast is for later tonight and am tomorrow :cool: patience,...

Temperature dropping fast here in DunLaoighre dropped 1 degree in half a hour but still 2.3

Been an ominous cloud sweeping slowly in from Dublin Northeast for the last 20 minutes. Looks like light sleety crap.

Where is the big stuff going to come from? Will the bands going past Newcastle get to us? http://www.raintoday.co.uk/
