No snow here in Wexford.
There was a brief snow shower about 9am.

Cows are out grazing again today and ground conditions are improving in a drying wind and blazing sunshine.

You lucky swine , plenty of sleet here . Ground is 100% saturated and I'd say it will be the same this time next week

You know forecasts. :rolleyes:

But it looks from Thursday on and over the weekend things are drying up and even getting a bit warmer.

Snow earlier thawed and now a flurry again. Jan 2010. Now that was proper snow. Damn rare around here being close to the south coast.

Damn cold here atm. Occasional heavy hail showers and a strong wind.

Lady Haywire · 11-02-2018 1:42pm

Weird weather here. When I took this photo the snow and wind was in the south but on the way home it changed to a northern wind.

No more than myself you probably didn't do anything about buying a tractor trailer .
The jeep is getting a few bits done to it for the doe test there and I had to use the tractor to bring up a few ewes this morning . I hadnt far to go but it was alot easier in the tractor instead of sliding around the rough pen we have across the road .

There's a northwest to westerly prevailing wind atm.
It seems strange then to get these wind shifts but in strong cloud or cell conditions (with lots of precipitation) you can get strong down drafts in the centre of the cell and these winds will fan out from the centre. So depending on where you are in relation to the cell you'll get different wind directions. So if north of the cell you'll get a southerly wind from it and if you're south of it you'll get a northerly wind off it.
The different wind directions you experienced could have been the cell passing over but that would require it to move from south to north. Which the wind isn't really doing atm.

Maybe there was just some version of a mini low pressure system or could even have been a squall line on the front edge of that precipitation giving that southerly before it switched back to the northerly when it passed over.

This weather stuff ain't simple.

Place was just showing a bit of drying yesterday but jaysus the rain last night

George Sunsnow · 13-02-2018 11:25am

All the weather models this morning are agreed on an easterly by the 20th
Whilst very cold (much colder than now!) it would be very drying out west but with severe frosts day and night
The air would be sourced in Siberia which is the same air source causing problems at the Korean Winter Olympics at the moment believe it or not

The reason it would hold its cold a lot more than the stuff we have had from Canada lately is because 95% of its journey here would be over cold land (Russia and Europe) whereas our northwesterly’s travelled 99% over a warmer North Atlantic ,which though you mightn’t think it took a lot of the bite out of it
An easterly at this time of the year with such a cold source and with such a cold Europe is well capable of keeping daytime temps below zero at times
Eastern areas would be prone to snow showers which because of the lower temperatures would see snow falling locally sticking around and not thawing much if any during the day

As this is 9 days away it could change and with a bit of luck the high pressure area steering in the cold easterly might sit on top of us meaning frosty yes but less cold and a lot dryer
One to watch

Mooooo · 13-02-2018 11:32am

I'd take anything that means some bit of dry weather at the minute tbh

Lazy wind here today.

Won't go round you, just goes through you instead.

That cold blast from the east would burn off any grass there is waiting to be grazed by early turn out stock.

Young lad has had to take a break from running. Dosed with a cough, not going to get better running in that weather. He's trying to get back going on the treadmill instead

If doing that tell him to run at an incline of .5 or 1%

Dickie10 · 14-02-2018 12:44am
