    Some have been enjoying the rollercoaster, I most certainly have not. Been a nightmare for forecasting in the past month. Really want to get off.

    I know!! Emotionally drained :-) and I'm only a spectator! For you and the serious weather heads it must be exhausting!

    But as Graces said thank ye all! Wouldn't be anything to watch without ye..

    Yes it has been a pain , but things don’t happen easy around this little island, to get what we want we normally have to wait in vague

    It's not what I want (I could care less about that), it's at least reasonable confidence in forecasting.

    Anyway, getting off topic....

    North Kildare and the 3rd shower of the day has passed over. Latest one was the heaviest....nothing spectacular but it was a mix of sleet and graupel.

    In other news, there's more precip moving into western areas than I was expecting.

    on which positive note I am closing down to try to catch up on last night's missed sleep. I expect to be enabled to build a large SNOWPERSON when it gets light tomorrow

    OK?

    OK!!!!

    Sleep well snow-watchers..! You deserve it..

    As I posted earlier that will weaken as it crosses the country but by first light tomorrow could be some sleet and snow in that for the midlands and east but should be light enough...

    Yeah, not expecting any accumulations from it. I'll be up early in the morning so will see anything that is falling from the sky.

    Well ICON certainly displaying a big wintry / snow event for Thurs on the current run. I'm not saying it is going to happen , just showing what it is modelling atm.

    A very deep LP , 974 hPa crossing the country slowly whilst pivoting and carrying plenty of moisture. 850 hPa Temps about -4 or -5C . Low Temps from 1 to 4C generally, falling back to freezing early in the night. If this happen would expect heavy wet snow, sleet in some areas and rain also.

    Again just to show what the model is displaying.

    ECM 12Z rolling out now.

    What is it about the east coast of Meath (right on water) where we always seem to miss the worst of wind and snow? There can be all sorts of stuff going on around us but it’s like there’s some magic coat around our area!

    I suppose I shouldn’t complain but just curious!

    looks like Thursday will be rain or sleet for most of Meath and Dublin. I'd say it will be very similar to the event on 11th December 2017. Best chances of lying snow would be about 40-50km inland from the Irish Sea. Thursday is still a while away so hopefully more upgrades before then.

    Onshore winds bringing in relatively milder air from the sea (sea is warmer than land in Winter) making it too mild for snow to fall.

    The ICON suggesting such scenes is certainly increasing my confidence on a significant portion of the country seeing snow on Thursday. If only those charts were +24 hours!

    An easterly wind too, keeping the wind offshore blessed!

    I'm sorry to be one of "those" but could someone simplify it for me regarding potential snow in Clare in the next few days?

    Not really, we're still trying to figure it out ourselves!

    A part which is very important is where in Clare you are, as the weather can be simultaneously completely different in Kilrush or Ennistymon as it is in Killaloe or Lisseycasey (a notorious spot for having different weather to nearby areas).

    "Extremely cold" would mean bitter easterlies with sub zero daytime max temps
    The upcoming cold spell is mainly from the Northwest with an Atlantic influence.
    Wednesday night there looks to be a severe frost with lows of -4 to -6 C
