    So with that in mind and noting that the thread says from Sunday next. So will it be grand until Saturday night and then bang ?

    Also can cork expect snow or will the snow shield stop it or will even the famous snow shield of cork be beaten by this ?

    Thanks lads.

    Yes hopefully it is. The answer to the Cork Question is right here:

    I have an exam on the 7th March so hopefully it would have cleared by then. Any time before or after that is fine by me but a few impromptu snow/study days before hand would go down nicely.

    A red level warning for snow would be the ultimate dream.

    So is it bad news if the GFS sticks to what it was saying earlier?

    Is that what passes for bad news these days?

    He fears it going pear shaped. It would be typical after the ECM came on board.

    Actually i'm going to be optmistic, given the unique set of factors involved, i don't think it will go pear shaped- maybe
    a modified version of what has been shown previously, but still snowy charts.

    Yeah but it was different yesterday, Pete.

    Frankly I think you're religiously checking the models every four hours like the rest of us, and you're at the point where every waking moment is a kind strange pain.

    Well done to all of you who follow, analyse and impart to the rest of us mortals. It has been a fascinating few months since pre Ophelia. Thank you, and MT C of course.

    So, what are the chances of Waterford getting a good dollop of the white stuff?

    Back in 2009/2010 I recall three weeks of snow cover here, snowed first then the deep freeze kept it.

    The difference I recall from those years was that when it fell it was wetter snow, so it packed into a sheet of ice on the roads, rather than staying as powder, which made driving on it very different. I had my 4x4 (still have it) in the 09/10 events, and it was great fun to drive on the higher ground up around Naull and Garristown in the fresh snow that got dumped on a regular basis by the Isle of Man streamer, much nicer to drive in than on the frozen ice that was on the lower roads.

    The next few days are for sure going to be an interesting period, that's for sure.

    What was thought provoking was the American (I think) temperature anomaly chart that shows the cold coming in from the East, then the warmer air almost getting back in from the South, before being pushed forcibly out by yet more cold from the North. If there's frontal activity in that phase, anything could be possible, depending on where the front tracks.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    If things do materialise with the strength of the sun - we will see temperatures by day in any sunshine reach reaching above zero in towns and cities, so there will be some melting!

    Getting really concerned about this now as I've to fly to the US on Monday. If I'm over there in balmy Feb weather (forecast 10c over there) & miss out on the first proper Easterly in 8 years I'll be so pissed off. Need this thing to roll in early Mon morning and force a flight cancellation !!

    It looks to be almost exactly the same, maybe like 3 hours delayed in this later run? But then at +147 it flips around and is arriving earlier.

    18Z arguably better than the 12Z. A lot more runs to go over the next couple of days.

    Need to stress that the real cold is still A WEEK away. That's a long time in weather terms.

    Considering -10 uppers are arriving on 3am Monday, I'd argue that the cold is less than 6 days away.

    The 18z gfs is taking new prisoners
    It would send very heavy snow showers into cork city and waterford
    It has -14 uppers onto the east coast
    -13 onto the south coast in a southeasterly fetch that would scoop up Atlantic moisture to pummel the south coast
    Incredible stuff really modeled for only a week away
    This would all be happening in sub zero day time temperatures
    It’s actually an unseen before unheard of scenario just 7 days away on this model :eek:

    Having the high a nudge further north would be better, pressure is fairly high with strong winds so showers wouldn't have a change to pick up much moisture, serious windchill though.

    Spectacular charts again though and no point looking at small details like that just yet. Now if they're still showing by Friday I'll be on board, heres hoping..

    Edit: Pressure lower as the run goes on and a couple of kinks in the flow so plenty of snow later on, about as good a run as I've ever seen!

    I'd agree it's another upgrade, deep cold arrives slightly earlier and hangs around a bit longer with a deeper cold pool to the east.

    Considering -10 uppers are arriving on 3am Monday, I'd argue that the cold is less than 6 days away.

    I'm just desperately trying to not get excited, Pay no attention to me.

    18Z is amazing to be fair. Every night for the last few nights I've been lying in bed looking at the 18Z and thinking it can't get any better and every night it has. When does it stop?!

    Its not an exaggeration to say next week we could see conditions similar to late February 1947 if some of these charts come off, truly exceptional.
