I'd say your a 7 now MS. 

8.5 maybe a 9 by the end of the night Atlantic snow machine.

Think we are in for something special from Monday onwards. The 12z's are in the verge of being epic. What happens after the initial cold shot is very interesting. We could have snow on the ground for quite a while!

I notice wee snow symbols starting to appear on the automated forecasts.  Take them with a pinch of salt but another good sign.

I would imagine the Glenshane pass will be interesting next with strong gale force winds driving heavy snow down the pass.

EEK I’m going to NW England on Monday. Renting a car. Fly home Tuesday. ?

ECM = 8/10

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Good agreement across the models, starting to get a tad interested...

[Sperrin]

Check out the GFS ens now!! This could be a pretty memorable event next week. 

Look at All those 100%s!!

Granted I haven’t been an avade follower of weather to the nature I am now and still enjoy learning but I haven’t (in the 5 years since taking an interest) seen such interesting charts in terms of snow potential.

What possible upgrades could we see?

Polar lows can form out of nowhere that's one to watch with this unstable flow you never know.

500pha are very cold.

So before the 18's roll out check out this cracking forecast for the week ahead. If people can't get excited about this upcoming cold spell now then I dunno. Lol. No real end in sight either.

Must admit it does look very interesting especially for further north of the island but even down here in the hills of Clare. 

[Rocheydub]

I am not letting myself get sucked in by this. Yes, you lot up above will do well by the looks of things, but the God-damned Dublin snow shield is a strong bugger! It's at best marginal for us. I do however hold some hope.

Another cracker pub run. 

[ronan]

Well after todays runs and latest video forecasts I think we can safely say this is in the bag. Each run today across all models has been rock solid. Still a few days to go yet but I am certainly looking forward to this.

The consistency alone is enough

Not getting my hopes up too much either. Needs to be an extra special pm flow to deliver for me. Think the only time a pm flow really delivered for me (and living in Dublin at the time, originally from there) was as a kid back in Jan 84. This upcoming pm flow does certainly look to have bite to it but I won't be holding my breath. Probably a snowfest for up north.

Another good GFS this morning, it even proposes a bit of a easterly at end. So looking like a cold west/North westerly followed by a North/North Easterly followed by a easterly = everyone happy ??

[carboncowboy75]

We may b getting snowed in next week lol

[mountain shadow]

Lovely jubbly charts continue this morning. 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Very stormy looking at times next week, good be some decent blizzard scenarios 

[Neiller22]

Met office text looks good but strong “southwesterly winds”! Surely a miss print. ! 

[Thunderywintrysnow]

Slowly wording changing day by day met Eireann below. 

EARLY NEXT WEEK: Becoming increasingly blustery and showery; showers turning wintry later Monday into Tuesday with falls of sleet and snow increasingly more likely. The focus of the wintry showers will be across the north and west with some accumulations likely - but all areas will be at risk with some thunder occurring locally too. Much colder, with maxima of only 3 to 6 degrees Celsius (north to south). Feeling even colder with an added wind chill effect. Frost and ice also, mainly for sheltered areas owing to sustained brisk winds.

[ronan]

Still looking pretty good on this mornings runs. Easterners get their wet dream at the end to.
