Sky new now flights at Liverpool diverted to other airports due snow

My 4 year old wants snow having seen pictures of his grandparents back yard on Christmas Eve. They woke up to snow!

Santa brought the presents but the big question is can MT Cranium make snow for him in Dublin?

At 6 pm the low was around 2-3 hPa lower and a bit further SE than even the 12Z GFS had progged.

Im also in north Dublin but my station is reporting a temp of 4.9 and dew point of 4.1, jus shows how local weather can differ. fingers crossed it drops with the increased rate of precipitation.

Would you go back to the picture of Liverpool Airport to see snow , stop messing

Slashermcguirk · 26-12-2014 8:50pm

My apologies maybe they will get a few cms, hardly snowmegeddon!! It's the exaggerations a in the British media that are so annoying. Also the talk of -15 degrees, such utter pants

I might add the snow is due to turn to rain during the night, temp rising to 5 degrees in the morning. Still more than we are getting it must be said. It seems around kippure is the only place getting lying snow here. Maybe some snow closer to the new year

Kermit.de.frog · 26-12-2014 9:16pm

Going to turn icy after midnight away from windward coasts in the west and north. Temperatures below freezing widely later tonight. Also it's not inconceivable one or two showers might make it to the east coast later on and also further in to Munster only making things worse from that point of view if you catch some precipitation. These polar maritime setups can spring surprises.

Most of central and eastern England will see top temperatures tomorrow at or little above freezing.

Don't be deceived by the synoptic charts either regarding the HP in the next few days. We are in for the coldest nights of 2014 with temperatures progged as low as -6 or -7 locally inland. Sunday night is one to watch in particular. And daytime temperatures will be low single figures as well. This is till Tuesday morning at the earliest.

Actually, looking at tomorrow's prospects, I don't see much decent showery activity for most of the country, with a very tight 500 hPa temperature gradient only allowing deep convection in Ulster and north Leinster. Very shallow convection elsewhere, which should be still enough for a few lighter graupel flurries, but only the heaviest activity in the northest and through the UK.

looks to be almost half a foot of snow in places within central England and it's still snowing there.

Is it snowing anywhere today in Ireland? Here in Belfast sleety snowy mix falling currently but with temperature at 7 C it's not sticking.......:-( :-( :-(

I'd say hilly areas of Sligo, Mayo and Donegal might be seeing snow showers today with settling snow above maybe 350 meters by day.
With a DP of 2C in Dublin all we are going to get is cold rain in any precip at the moment.

trixychic · 27-12-2014 10:55am

In Wexford til new years now. Really would love some snow!

numilus cimbus · 27-12-2014 10:58am

Snow was sporadic enough in the UK,most places there are above freezing now An inch that won't see the day out won't excite me

Meanwhile over on net illusion,I see they're all like sheep bleating the line 'at least it won't be mild'
Where do they get them?
Seemingly an outlook of wind rain and 5 to 7c is better than 14c and some Sun?
Blimey
Talk about cracked,I'd have thought it the worst of all worlds

We're on our way there today and hoping for the same.

I think if we saw 14c then it would be mostly likely accompanied by rain,, I would prefer colder weather in winter myself, 14c would be horrible Christmas week.

Supercell · 27-12-2014 11:57am

14C with a nice SW over the Wicklow mountains , often sunny and very pleasant here due to local Fohn effect. Would take that any day over wind and rain.
