Just to be precise, the red warning is for a two hour period in the early hours and the red moves into counties as the storm moves east etc. so no red warning for daylight working hours. https://www.met.ie/tomorrow.html
If it's red stay in bed

And snow in Kerry is as rare as hens teeth, let alone coming off the Atlantic. Just tells you how odd this thing is. This overrides any normal storm that’s for sure.
It's common on the mountains but not at sea facing the sea - though the winds are off shore there.

Snowing now in south west Ireland, Co Kerry

For reference this is what that location normally looks like

8 posts in 6 hours I think tells all that needs to be said. Grim. Quite the pickle for those looking for cold and no end in sight at the moment. It's not even a traditional "zonal" outlook for the time of year, it's considerably worse. Not a straw to grasp at on the afternoon runs so far.
ECM in a few minutes, will it lighten the mood?

GFS is really quite similar to the ICON 12z at 180 hrs.

ICON is a noticeable, though not there yet, improvement by day 8 and that alignment coming out of Newfoundland looking a bit more attractive but still too advanced eastward for decent propagation of WAA up the west side of GL on this run.
But an improvement, let's see if there is anything in it

Little cheer on the 12z runs this afternoon
UKMO 144
I think the lack of posts says it all really. Really, really frustrating. High pressure is going nowhere and there is no sign of any retrogression back in to the north Atlantic for the foreseeable future.
This looks like being a really dry January now as well which is about the most interesting thing to be said.
Could we see a record dry month on this pace?

The progged incursion still looks a quick 24 - 36 hour toppler despite some minor changes. UKMO looks the most promising to me post day 5 in terms of any chance of this evolving in to something a bit more useful over the next couple of days so there are straws to grasp at least.

GFS close enough to ICON up to 120 hrs on the 18z.
A bit of change of pattern from the former.
Interesting to see where this goes.
-
Good to see a smidgen of interest around day 5 even if the best conceivable outcome looks a quick toppler 36 hour flirt with Arctic air rather than a meaningful cold snap.
Time to evolve further but I don't hold out much hope for it really at the moment.

Not good at all this morning again. Not much can be said really, no straws to grasp at the moment, hopefully soon!
Perfect time to step away for a few days and come back maybe on New Year's in my opinion.

Well,...that was a quick Xmas break,...The JMA...
Well, we'll certainly look forward to that

Hopefully we don't end up in worst case scenario with the PV camped off Newfoundland

It is a bit of a depressing medium term outlook at the moment. I'm hoping we can break this set up in early January and that we don't get stuck in this cycle of southwesterlies and failed breakdowns for a month or more. It can be really, really frustrating once the more typical zonal pattern beds in.
Can only hope

One good thing from this - ICON won't be ignored again!

They'll be struggling to even have wintry showers in any part of north east Scotland at this rate.

Geordiesnow Don't really get the argument. Looks potentially quite impactful in the west of Ireland which is part of their jurisdiction.
A bit like me saying the Netherlands MO shouldn't name a North Sea storm because it will have no impact in Dublin
