To be honest I'll just be glad to see some proper heavy snow whether it's gone the next day or not.
Me to Ronan and when it melts then roll on spring.
Ground last week to wet and this week to hard

My memory isn't always the best but i think there were two snowy outbreaks up north in early 2013. One event caused huge snow fall totals - from memory it was a diving low directed south instead of east by a slack wedge of heights over Iceland - not sure what the pattern was out over Europe. The snow was not forecast (very much a now event at the time) but the 850s weren't spectacular. I'm only at 50ft asl and had about 18 hrs heavy precipitation of wet snow resulting in about 2 inches of slushy snow. About 2 miles from me at 200 ft asl had many feet of snow drifting in the high winds - true blizzard like conditions. Painful to be so close but yet so far.
As well as worrying that the event at the end of the week may not happen, i would have a worry about the possible exceptional cold next week. The 2018 Beast from East ended much earlier than anticipated because the easterly pattern was so strong that a small low in the freezing flow over Portugal was pushed into the warm Atlantic and deepened rapidly because of the huge temperature differential. It created its own anti-clockwise circulation (creating a westerly wind for us) which cut off the easterly winds for a large part of western Europe.
The projected cold for next week is even colder than 2018, so if it were to happen, hopefully shortwaves don't spoil the party again.
March 2013, a farmer friend was digging out the Ligonel road outside north Belfast over the mountain with a loading shovel and cars where buried in it, serious amount of snow fell, divis and black mountain got a pasting

Looked on here as haven’t been in the MOD thread in months and expected no snow chances over the next 48hrs, was pleasantly surprised when I viewed the GFS charts, a couple below
