Ireland Regional Weather Chat - 20/11/2015 Onward.

[geoffw]

are there any snow prospects for us this week? the mod thread seems to be excited 

[mountain shadow]

Not convinced Geoff.  Synoptics are good but zero cold to tap into.

 

[bobbarley]

Yeah they're really getting excited now after the pub run

[BornFromTheVoid]

Incredible wind/rain and hail here this morning. Neighbours fence blown down, wheelie bins toppled over, and not even a yellow warning!

The 06z GFS showed some parts of Ireland getting close to 48 hours of continuous snowfall this weekend. Shall be interesting to see if the 12z follows that theme.

Which parts Born, more south and East?

The 12z has it for 36 hours for many areas north of Clare to Wexford, which means north of me too:(

To be fair, if it comes close to what it's showing, any part of the country could get some decent falls. Could be a proper battleground scenario with a front stalling across the island.

Bring on the snow now, got the wife and wee man home and alls good.

Central strip of Ireland looking good on 12z

Congratulations to you both Weegaz, delighted for you both :-)

Thanks Born

Wet and windy the end of the week and no colder than 6c during the day the bbc weather must have different charts than what we are seeing.

And the only mention of snow was for tonight & Morning  for the hills.

Interesting towards the end of the forecast. Tonights GFS has the snow line further north so i would say it will be another few days before we know where the snow line will be.......

[BornFromTheVoid]

Heavy snow the last 15 minutes (still going) has given a surprise covering here.

[ronan]

Nice one Born! Radar looks good!

[Sperrin]

Wasn't aware that snow was expected down the country today. Happy days! Radar seems very good for West Mayo/Roscommon at the minute. Any reports from that area?

 

[BornFromTheVoid]

Gurteen to the north of here is reporting rain on the latest update at 2C. It's just 1.1C here, so hopefully things will be different when the showers arrive in 30 mins or so.

[somofagun]

Nice sunny day here today. Mornings are getting lighter and evenings getting longer. Happy days.

 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

A beautiful dry day,  many of the locals are staring up in wonder at the yellow shaped circular thing in the sky,  what is it they ask, is this the mythical sun our ancients spoke about...

Yup Somo, my thoughts are firmly on spring now,  I love to see the change in daylight hours

Well, Pom, if I ever start seeing things that are 'yellow shaped', I'll consider getting myself sectioned.

It's the locals mate not me, I am obviously way more intelligent.... 

[BornFromTheVoid]

The combination of sunshine and light winds have been so rare this winter. Not one of those cold, calm frosty spells that usually occur.

[Sperrin]

Band of ppn moving in from the west across Ulster. Could it give snow for us further inland? We'll find out shortly.

 

[Juuyoku]

Woke up to a fairly good frost this morning. Currently the sun is shining but a chilly enough 2 degrees. 

[Neiller22]

Roll on Spring and summer is all I can say. Once again I'm sick of this sorry ass excuse of a winter! It's just ridiculous trying to get decent snow in the uk. Had enough now. Want warmer temps and longer days back ASAP!
