Temp rose to -0.1 an hour ago but has fallen back half a degree since. Will be touch and go with this front moving through as I'm just a couple of metres shy of the 200m mark.

On another note, does anyone have this wee weather station? Its got temp but not sure if it does dewpoint,  accidentally dumped the manual!

Yeah I got the exact same one on eBay few months ago. No dew point as far as I know.

Have really enjoyed this current cold Spell with virtually no thaw for a few days. Perfect weather to enjoy the outdoors. Freezing rain could definitely be an issue Boofer.

Yes, could be an issue alright. Precipitation turning to sleet based on radar as it crosses into NI

Lawns are green again here this morning for the first time since last Thursday........thawed quick enough really.....8c here now and rising .....when the last cold spell ended we had to wait around 9 / 10 days for things to set up favourably.....and looking at current charts we are likely looking at another 8-10 days to get another proper cold shot apart from a colder blip this weekend.....loads of time left for decent cold and snow and I still think this winter so far has been the building blocks towards a more notable very cold & snowy spell......background signals leading in that direction in my opinion ....somewhere between 3rd and 6th Feb would be my call to see pattern change

Which direction is the flow do you think?  I know it’s not likely to verify like that anyway.

Running through the charts it looks to be from the North.

I like the updated medium range forecast. Sounds like a lot of snowfall chances ahead

Hmmm, a northerly taking snow all the way to Cork and Wexford would need to be pretty potent. Hopefully it verifies

It's 14 days away, regrettably, the chance of that verifying is close to zero.

Balmy out there when walking tonight compared to recently......trying to avoid puddles of water in 9 degrees C tonight rather than trying to avoid a slip on icy roads in sub zero temps .....only wore my coat in case it rained, could have walked around in a light sweater.....any way, an upgrade tonight from both long range UK Met forecast and the models.....northern parts could even see sleet or snow this weekend or early next depending on how things fall.....certainly an interesting winter so far and about to get even more interesting I feel.....I Still think somewhere between 3rd and 6th Feb is when proper winter spell arrives although certainly can't rule out some marginal / temporary snowfalls in more northern parts before then......

Not sure when met eireann updated their forecast

THURSDAY: Overnight rain will become confined to Ulster by mid-morning, with occasional sleet and hill snow there. 

No mention of it in the met office forecast for NI.

Based on yesterdays runs...Met E site usually updates around 5 or 6am each morning so based on previous evenings runs.....although I have seen them updating their forecasts on occasion during the day if overnight runs flip to much different synoptics than previously shown

Yeah I usually read it every morning but didn't today so not sure when they updated it. Probably this morning though. 

Yes I read it this morning and wording is still the same
