It's just like a switch has been turned off in here tonight. Haven't been in the model thread in 5 days. Time to head in there and catch up on what's happening.

There's nothing happening for a couple of weeks at least.

I still haven't been in for a nosey. Are the models still showing the chances of HLB? Any sign of an SSW?

Hill(293m) just outside Greencastle, Donegal. Seriously considering relocating to high ground lol. Over the years it'll be worth it. Get a big f off lamppost for the front garden too ha.

Haven't went near it all week. Best avoided lol

[BIG LAD]

amazed at how much snowcover we have retained. more or less full cover still and frozen solid. 4 days of laying snow for the second time this winter. sunday is gonna be like a funeral when it all melts.

The roads are really bad tonight with ice!! Even the main roads are icing over! Need some shower activity as it would surely be snow falling!

Signs for push of heights towards greenland on gefs has been building i would say 12-13 ens go for it and there is some very potent northerlys in the mix -10 to -12 850s.

Few below there are many more northerlys, northerlys been the form horse this year but they still take about easterlys in the mad thread?? it's turned into the South Eastern thread won't be near it for sometime a lot of sh..t ? talk in there nothing about what the models are showing can't stand that thread at the minute and they all get away with the sh..t? talk.

Also last beeb forecast says good possibility that the front could push right into northern Ireland tomorrow with possible 3-4cm snow any you seen the last video forecast?

High uncertainty with the outcome mentioned.

Just watched it there. How can they be so uncertain 6 hours out. If anything it will be southern counties that may see a bit of snow.

I don't know crazy really to think that they cant be certain 6hrs out he did mention a good likely hood could push right into northern Ireland can't see it tho.

[ronan]

That's where I am confused. The front doesn't look like it pushes north at all on the forecast. It's certainly cold enough for snow. Reports around Derry of dangerous road conditions after the rain and sleet earlier has completely frozen over.

[Sneachtastorm]

I haven't checked models since early evening but seen an icon animation on twitter showing snow across the North for the morning

Usually always the way with snow and wind storms I've noticed. Always hard for them to nail it down unless it's an exceptional event in coming

It's mental in cookstown paths roads are like bottles very dangerous. 

[Sneachtastorm]

Xcweather.co.uk which uses GFS shows 3.6cm of snow for me starting 4am until 9am. It's very light whether it reaches us or not

[Sneachtastorm]
