    Im just on the coast in North Dublin at the moment, you can see the change in direction of the cloud now.

    Can see that anvil to my NE now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,204 ✭✭✭eskimocat


    this is what fell here earlier, in about 40mins, and now it is snowing again!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,988 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    Is there a reason why nobody's getting excited about that big red lump heading south from the Western Isles on raintoday at the moment? It's showing over 'Stanton Banks' at the moment and tracking straight for the Mayo/Donegal coast. Or is it just because it's not heading for Dublin?!

    Looking at that precipitation from Dublin 3 at the moment, looks like it's breaking up.

    Todays sat image showing some snowfields...

    the big event right now is the snow train hitting the NW, not an anvil 20 miles off shore the east coast

    Well you're getting excited about it aren't you?
    I'd hate to see area specefic threads here-it has ruined netweather.
    I'm glad that the NW is see'ing lots more snow.

    Obviously like a lot of imby people I want it in my back yard too.
    Lots of Dubs here,they are after all a quarter of the population and more likely to have internet where they work etc :)

    Just saw the 00z UKMO run, mesoscale low drifts southwest across Cornwall and pulls in a strong northeast gradient overnight for Wicklow-Wexford.

    This could get very interesting, massive sea effect is pivoting just offshore and any slight change in wind direction would bring it onshore soon after 1200, however, best chances for heavy snow would come after 1500h and there is potential here for 10-20 cms in these counties: Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Kildare, Laois, Carlow, Kilkenny, and (I'm not sure if international treaties allow me to say this) Waterford. Amounts obviously higher in east-slope districts of Wicklow and Wexford, higher parts of Dublin.

    The GFS was also fairly bullish for snow on its 06z run.

    Turn those winds ... and ye shall have snow. :D

    Looks like central southern England could be seeing totals of up to 40cms tonight :eek::eek::(

    I'll be happy with 10cm snow god:D

    These threads, as interesting and entertaining as they are, always seem to end the same way. There's massive optimism, everyone (including me) gets their hopes up but it ends in a bit of a damp squib. I dunno, I wouldn't be surprised if the New Years Day snow is the best it get - at least in Dublin.
