    Opening up a seperate thread to concentrate on tomorrow's sneeky snow risk.

    Currently its looking very borderground. Yes the ppn is there to cause some good accumulations but im a bit worried on dewpoints on the nmm.


    Heres the best of the bunch atm.

    NAE 12pm tomorrow.

    850 temps just decent enough for midlands

    Dps are good

    NMM though has more of high ground in the east at risk.

    Roll on the next runs! * fingers crossed! *

    Will be watching this like a hawk as my location at home and immediate surroundings could put me at risk if the NAE verifies.

    High ground certainly likely to see something anyway!

    Any chance of snow for Dublin or is it just the NW

    Dublin and Wicklow hills Sallys Gap will have snow.

    Typical situation where Cavan and Monaghan see decent snow and the rest of the country under precipitation sees sleet at best (at low lying areas). Still one to follow though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 403 ✭✭acassells80


    Will have to borrow a land rover so and head up the mountains

    I've just been out for a short walk in Dublin 22 I thought my inner ears where going to explode from the wind chill it's is freezing out side

    Bbc weather just showing a small band of rain/snow moving up along the east early tomorrow then a few small showers following behind.
    Nothing like the charts posted above:(

    Latest NAE has pushed the snow risk further west with the precipitation going further west. Although probably a now-cast situation.

    Will be interesting to see what the 12 Z gfs shows (even though its not high res), the 06z run only has the precipitation affecting the E coast and inland E to a certain extent.

    If I don't wake up tomorrow to find a ninja snowman in my back garden I'm gonna be very disappointed.

    Oh I feel exactly the same way but I still want to follow it despite knowing we'll get nothing over here already!!!!!

    Snow-addict, me.

    I look forward to a good dump of snow as much as the next snow bunny but I have to ask. What's ninja snow?

    Stealthy, unexpected snow. The kind that sneaks up and takes you unawares when you're preoccupied with storms and rain, that occasional surprise overnight fall when cold air is dragged in and the dewpoints fall a bit. It usually disappears just as quick.

    I like to think of it as Keyser Snowse......

    That's makes sense, basically what it says on the tin. I was over thinking the meaning.

    12z GFS not showing much promise of anything (well NIMBY).

    DP's and 850 temps are up slightly on the 12z NAE for tomorrow afternoon compared to the earlier run.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    Latest Hirlam has that wee system further east than the NAE and gives some snowfall over parts of the east, (probably on the Wicklow Mtns)

    this would be the ultimate ninja snow. we can but dream...:(


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,267 ✭✭✭✭M.T. Cranium


    Nothing too organized so a nowcasting event as we follow clusters of mixed wintry showers on radar tomorrow. Probably quite variable results and somewhat elevation based, chances of a temporary covering of snow may range from 10% at sea level to 70% above 300m. Covering would be defined as 2-5 cm lasting perhaps a few hours. Also risk of hail and snow pellets from some of these showers. A high probability of 5-8 cm covering in higher parts of the country above 500m. This will last overnight and melt in the milder conditions mid-day Sunday.

    Usually here in the west when we have the precipitation its not cold enough for snow and when it gets cold enough for snow there is no percipitation so annoying:mad:

    As a fellow Cork person your question made me laugh... we had substantial snow in 2010... that was our quota until 2110 :D

    Latest NAE placing precip in Eastern parts again like Hirlam 12z, fancy the Wicklow mountains could do well enough, eastern NI too.

    GFS 18z agrees, precipitation clips the E coast. Probably 4/5 mm of cold rain on the coast, at best sleet. Snow line above 300-350m (conservative)
