    What a terrible post for a mod to make.

    Way to encourage people to post on your forum.

    In fairness to Weathercheck, it really was a silly post - it was a gross generalisation and it's not the first time Gonzo has used the terms "game over" in one of his posts. :)

    I think the constant chopping and changing of the models for the past few weeks has made people a little jumpy.
    We're all here because we enjoy watching the weather. It is supposed to be fun, right.

    I said increasingly looking like Game Over, not that it's definitely game over. Of course I hope im wrong, but confidence of decent snow is not great right now, hopefully that will change in next 24 hours.

    Take it to the personal issues forum guys

    It's on a knife edge. But i don't think we will win out. Based only on my own opinion

    The GFS sees the battle ground over UK, not Eire

    Don't have much confidence in snow accumulation charts but should try and post charts for the proper time.

    OP could well be right, about tuesday night some where should get a nice covering I wouldn't be slating him yet.

    chance getting better all the time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,134 ✭✭✭✭maquiladora


    18Z NAE only goes out to 8pm Tuesday, but it doesn't look great for snow potential on this model.

    13011518_1318.gif

    Dew points rising above zero as the precipitation moves into the west.

    13011518_1318.gif

    850 temps rising as precipitation moves in.

    13011518_1318.gif

    Just one run of one model and things are changing on every run, but looking more like rain/sleet as it stands there.

    Met Eireann have highlighted the risk though, and they have better hi-res models than what we can see. :shrug:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,333 ✭✭✭Saganist


    Just in from out back. Not raining. Not sleeting. More like heavy rain if that makes sense. :confused:

    What the hell is going on in this thead? lol

    After an entire week of 'will it snow, won't it snow?' I think that everyone's patience is just worn a bit thin.

    After the SSW and the cold spreading as far West as England, it would just be sickening if we got to see no snow.

    But although things are looking marginal at the moment, the cold just refuses to go away and let the Atlantic dominate as one might have expected by now.

    It could still happen!

    That would explain how I got wet lol. What I meant was that it felt like sleet as it reached ground level..


  • Registered Users Posts: 403 ✭✭acassells80


    Raining here no sleet


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭snowgal


    What's wrong with everyone? Does nobody have any faith
    left., it'll happen people, something is coming. Bit of snow on Tuesday then wait and see after that, believe people believe!


  • Registered Users Posts: 435 ✭✭KizzyMonster


    Rain in D7 :(
    I need some heavy snow this week so my exams get cancelled...

    Just some more information on tomorrow. It will almost certainly start as rain tomorrow evening for most in to night time hours and then become an increasing mix with sleet and snow particularly on higher ground. By the early hours of Wednesday the east coast could see snow to low levels as temperatures fall back to freezing or a little above. GFS high resolution progging this consistently now probably including some evaporative cooling as well. Currently day time temperatures Wednesday look like reaching no higher than 1 or 2c in the east (milder in the west - maybe up to 4 or 5c) with outbreaks of sleet and snow this backing in to the midlands as the day wares on.

    ....essentially, any 'event' this week will be basically a 'nowcast' situation....the nail biting begins! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,789 ✭✭✭BEASTERLY


    GFS has 850hpa temps above zero for more than half the country for wednesday morning. We need -6 or lower for widespread lower level snow in this set up.


  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 18,153 Mod ✭✭✭✭DOCARCH


    06z GFS rolling out now and looks good....for nothing (Tuesday/Wednesday)!

    I never gave an opinion on tuesday or wenesday,I actually thought I'd added a question mark to my last post.
    I do think somethings up though and there is potential for some areas to see potentially a lot of snow this week whilst others have rain.

    The likes of this thread is meant to be a bit of fun as much as anything.
    The antagonisers posting should really get a life or just relax,there's no need to be aiming fire at the op,making an effort at his hobby :mad:

    cue roll eye smiley's and more antagonism now I s'pose,quit it folks,no ones listening to that only yourselves,the rest of us are here to enjoy the ride :)
    Life and death isn't happening because there's a few threads in the weather forum.

    Well said!! I totally agree!

    06Z NAE out to 6am Wednesday shows it as all rain. Dew points above freezing as the precipitation crosses the country.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,996 ✭✭✭Slashermcguirk


    So I presume it is snow for tuesday night/ Wednesday and more unpredictable after that? Come on the sneachta

    This is not correct

    Dew point

    Temperature @ 850hpa

    13011606_1406.gif

    Is there a bit of IMBYISM going on here I wonder? The forecast hasn't changed at all. And i'd be wary of changing it on a 6z op run where the cold air is kept 50 miles further east than other model or previous GFS run.

    Looks an East Coast/North East event from those charts. Talking IMBY can't see anything for down here unless a major shift west. Is the GFS showing anything in the longer term pattern of interest?

    Hang on a minute. I said the dew point rises as the precipitation crosses the country.

    13011606_1406.gif

    The only places that still have dew points below zero on the chart you posted are the places where the precipitation hasn't rearched yet.

    'Wrong side of marginal'. :pac: I can foresee that phrase popping up a few times this week! :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    Yea the GFS isn't the best with the cold incursion but as highlighted UKM has more cold embedded.

    In reality, i feel the precip will struggle to make it to the east coast from Tuesday evenings incursion.

    The real threat is more likely on Thursday into Friday.

    However still chance for tomorrow evenings event to give the east a coating of snow but i would not expect precip amounts in the east to amount to much.


    Hopefully a hard frost tonight to get things cooled down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 373 ✭✭qwert2


    Ah yes I love these threads. Rounds of tea and toast late at night while checking the street lamps every so often. Bring it on!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,693 ✭✭✭Redsunset


    I don't see any snow falling below 200metres on current guidance. Sleet at best on lower levels. The weekend could be alot better.

    Here's the HIRLAM. It says, wherever the precipitation is, the 850hpa temp will be above 0c.

    The last significant frontal snow I can recall here was in Feb 07. It was strange. It was sleety wet snow in Galway City but a few miles inland it became a full white out. Remember driving home up the N17 and it was amazing how it literally turned from sleety rain to snow near Claregalway. I had to turn around again just to mark the point!! :D. By the time I got back home it had become near blizzard like. Very disorientating to drive through I have to say. When I got back into Galway the next morning, not even a hint of lying snow there. Amazing difference over a relatively small area. :)

    Night of 3rd March 2009 is last time I can remember any frontal snow here. Got a good wee dumping, but it didn't last too long, just the day as there wasn't enough cold around to maintain it.

    Interesting set up that night, a frontal boundary locked within a polar air mass right over south Donegal.

    Looking at the latest models Ireland aren't going to see anything of significance . The UK on the other hand are in the perfect and enviable position. They are going to get hit with loads of snow . WE were just on the wrong side of marginal by maybe 300 miles :( It would have made all the difference
