The GFS 6z was just rain as it came in unfortunately, but at the least the 6z brings in a very cold Easterly and I know how much you guys in the North West love those....

Worth remembering GFS always to far East Correction likely to happen.

Look how far North the Hirlam gets the snow tomorrow

Now that would bust my balls! Look at Dublin, the only place it falls as rain I'm not happy, in fact I'm quite sad!

The met 16-30 day outlook today is a downgrade there's no doubt. I think the effects of the SSW this year haven't been as favourable to our location (UK/Ireland) as many would have liked, hence the constant uncertainty in the forecasts. I'm not saying they can't be wrong but they have been very bullish for a number of weeks about February whereas the latest update drops the very cold more to cold and closer to a normal winter month. Pity.

Maybe some hope for us in the northern third of Ireland. Met Éireann Ulster update 1hr ago

Tomorrow

Cold and increasingly windy on Thursday. Remaining frost, ice and fog soon clearing. Some sleet and snow will extend northeastwards during the day, turning to rain in southern areas later. Top temperatures just 2 to 3 degrees and feeling colder in the easterly wind.

I really can't see the snow extending North of Dublin on Thursday, I really can't, and with the downgrade on very cold expectations during February this could go down as a snowless Winter for me, however, chin up, and still time for change.

I can't see it getting much further north than Galway/North Dublin myself that's my angle of attack, as for Metoffice forecast whats the odds that Easterly grows over the coming days now that they've changed there outlook .

Another thing metoffice Yellow warning for snow in the warning zone was a joke way off the mark try 3-8cm locally 10+cm should have been there forecast.  They were more worried about the slushy mess that fell in the South East of England and had there eye off the game up here bigtime.

Weather does seem out of Whack in general. Hardly any wind storms up here anymore compared to the 90s early 00s. Climate just seems to have gotten even more bland. Weeks of nothingness seem to be more common. I see mullingar has water restrictions put in place in January due to critical low water levels. In January that's mad.

Picturesque and scenic. Very chilly though with a cold mist. 

Recorded 1.5 inches (3.81cm) of snow. Of course it is thawing right now but its gradual and it'll be a frosty night.

The UK met automated forecast (usual caveats ) are giving me light snow symbols for Friday night into Saturday,  so maybe something in it.

To be honest I've examined the full photo of both  UK and Ireland and pretty sure it's highly edited. Just seems very weird and blurred in places
