Ireland Regional Weather Discussion 16/01/2018 Onwards

Small coating of snow now in mid-louth... was not sticking this afternoon but it is now.

[John Cox]

The snow showers keep piling into Dublin. About 1cm at the moment.

We are so lucky. I have waited since the great snowfalls of Dec 2010.

The icing on the cake would be something similar to 8th Jan 1982. Unlikely i know. It snowed fro 36 hours non stop with 18 inches of snow with 6 feet snowdrifts . it was brilliant!!!

Nice enjoy

Looks like curtains for the persistent snow later this week across Northern parts. 

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Becoming drier through Friday and Saturday with only a few showers in east but snow showers will most probably return on Sunday. Occasionally windy. Feeling very cold.

Dear Netweather colleagues,   

After continuous snowfall since 11PM I can now confirm 19cm- 7 inches of level snow cover in Hollywood,co.Wicklow

Was not expecting this, thought the West wasn't getting any snow!

[ronan]

Think it's safe to say if the GFS is to be believed that Fridays low is a complete bust for anyone north of Dublin. South of Dublin looks to be getting hammered. 

[January Snowstorm]

Looks like Cork could get hit very bad.

Coupled of course with a storm force easterly it's serious!

[Juuyoku]

Woke up to a dusting here this morning. 

[Dylan87]

Status Red here on east coast of Ireland. Schools off, no work etc. Buses off.

My back step...

[BFS/BHD]

Not a flake in Belfast this morning. 

[bma79]

Small dusting here this morning. Make it to the gym before work so all's good ?

[mountain shadow]

Small dusting here. Massive downgrade on snow potential too.

 

 

[Watsy]

Not a flake on the ground here, cars aren't frosted over. Beast from the east, lol, maybe it'll turn up later.

Is it a case that the air is far to dry for frost to form?

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Barra on radio Ulster talking about widespread disruptive snow for Thursday night to Saturday night (potentially)

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

This is my road on leaving the house this morning a mile later and nada

I can only assume higher resolution met models are showing something different to GFS then.

[Neiller22]

Ah well that’s a bust then for us u all say. no point looking at models  then. Huge downgrade for us then MS. Ah well. Save me looking st models rest of dayI I see met eireann talking about rain in places. Downgrade for them too then.

Found it strange that they are still mentioning it as a chance going by the comments on here it looks like a bust?

[Eastantrim4]

I’m devastated here in Larne. We had a few flurries last night, well more a bit of light hail, so I thought something might have happened overnight. Like, even Ballymena got hit and we got nothing...

Anyway, here’s hoping we get something later today or tomorrow, even a couple of streamers would be nice. Forecasts seem to give us something around lunch time but the way the week’s gone so far I’m not betting on it...
