    I'm interested to see how long that low hangs over Europe. With the proper mixing from Russian high we could drop back day time negative tepretures.

    Too mild for decent snow and yet feeling chilly throughout.

    By this time next week most will have seen little or no snow and we'll be moving into the last week of January

    Like most winters. In fact it's been ( and will continue) to be wintrier than most.

    despite this winter seeming a bit cooler and far less stormy than last winter, this winter is running almost neck to neck with last winter for lack of snow and all over dissapointment (at least in the majority of Leinster). It's basically crunch time now with just 5 to 6 weeks to save this winter.
    It can still be saved, we've had epic snowfalls in February before.

    Most of Ulster has had a full week of lying snow now with much of Connaught and Munster at least seeing some snowfall and even parts of Leinster have had lying snow. Did most people even see a snowflake through the whole of last winter? There's more to the country than the east coast ;)

    I feel your pain having not seen a single snowflake since two years ago but by Irish standards the current spell isn't a bad effort

    Everyone knows east coast snow is better.

    I think the east will see lying snow at sea lvl. Might be short lived. But we are set to stay cold for a few more days. Cant speculate any further. In December the consensus was westerly Atlantic mild muck. But having seen -8 uppers stretch across the Atlantic, who knows what can happen. Too much variables for those super computers. I think this winter has been great so far. Has had a bit of everything bar an easterly.

    Ah he's allowed to be disappointed as many posters from Cork have been in the past! Though Cork has historically been a bad place to wait for snowfall so perhaps their need is more understandable :)

    As for forecasts... Monday night looks touch and go on the 18z when it looked a little more safe on the 12z. But it comes with more precipitation though. My family are a little higher up at 150 metres in Louth and I suspect it will be a toss up. Could well fall as snow for most of the duration while not actually sticking.

    I drove up to the Mournes yesterday just to see some snow. I forgot my camera though, which was stupid.

    It was very busy up. The feeling and the smile spreading across my face as I went through Hilltown and up into the hills, the snow rising on both sides, just a wonderful joyful thing the snow. LOVE IT!

    I think it was Robert Browning who said there are two kinds of people. One who says " Good morning, God" and the other, "Good God! Morning!" I was the former until one of the cats woke me with yelling in my ear and my warm body hit the cold air.... Knew it was going to be bad as when I went to toilet the dogs at nightfall ( they sleep in the extension with their own front door) I was met with a total stunned silence that meant ARE YOU CRAZY! They refused to budge...It is bitter, brazen stunningly COLD. The met site does not even have the temp for Kerry at the top..This is a grand house, renovated with all the water pipes inside and its own well so grand. I see no let up today.. ah well, we survived the other winters and we will this one. Grand SO!
