How far south does it have move to get us some action?

Anywhere between 100-200 miles we  would be in the game I reckon.

Just checked the MetO automated forecasts, they’ve suddenly realised there’s heavy snow forecast for tuesday! Lol

Not too often we see that!! Not a fan of automated forecast but excitement starting to build for Tuesday and just maybe we will get lucky with the storm tracking further south. Latest BBC forecast certainly shows the uncertainty around the positioning of the low. Also look how strong the winds are on Tuesday. Blizzards on the hills!!

I never really trust automated. But heres hoping.  Fingers crossed the low is much further South, its about time we had something good.

I'll leave this here and hopefully by the 12z's tomorrow evening the low is 250 miles further south. It is a totally viable outcome at this range. Fingers crossed!

W COUNTRY The key issue we are watching ahead is risk of (warnable) strong winds developing into early Thurs. However, considable uncertainty at the moment on areas of England at risk: error margin N-S ca. 250 miles! Will update as forecast confidence grow

Toys were well and truly out of the pram in the model thread today :rofl:  I was entertained. I'm watching where this low will track with great interest. At least Tuesday should bring us something.

Hi guys, don't find time to post in here as often as i'd like.

 

From my post on Boards.ie

 

18:00 Euro4

12 am - 6 am Tuesday

Projected maximum temperatures on Tuesday

Looking good for most of the country. Far south coasts, extreme west coasts may be an exception.

 

Usual caveats apply.

Bit crap that the low pulls up the warm uppers for that short window on Wednesday, however, there are some very cold NW winds brought back in from early Thursday morning through to Saturday lunchtime.

Still a slim chance the low moves through further South. 

Some decent accumulation through tonight and all day tomorrow with thunder and lightning too

The showers were fair packing in on the forecast graphics this morning.

The automated forecast has gone back to sleet for me tomorrow?!

Angie says snow accumulations to low levels so nothing to worry about.

and that's for my location at sea level 

Just to give you a picture of how poor automated are Derry shows sleet for most of the day and a lot of Derry is higher than sea level though I'm just an odd one out me

Spots of green showing on radar this morning.

Exciting couple of days coming up with radar and lamppost watching.

I'm sure into tomorrow this thread, along with other, will go into overdrive.  Hope the servers have had their weetabix.

I know - they are poor! Still - it's slightly encouraging to see so much snow in them for tomorrow for Bangor - normally we'd just see sleet there as well!

I would have assumed this would warrant an amber warning. Snow through morning and evening rush hours, pretty continuous all day it seems.

It would look as if thye should raise it to amber yeah. strange Met ie going for just "wintry showers" snow on high ground and no weather warnings.

I love snow, but love it even more on days I'm not working!  I have to drive for my job and home visits need to be made.... but I'm rubbish at driving in snow/ice :cold::cold::cold:.  Half of me wants a big heap of snow but other half is wetting myself LOL.
