Very difficult to work out whether we get any snow at the weekend, and if so, will it amount to much?
It seems strange that pressure charts show low pressure & fronts running south east thr'u south west Ireland - thru Cornwall - on into nw France, yet precipitation charts show snow getting across southern England near as far east as London. A few days ago the charts had low pressure & fronts much further north & east with no prospect of cold for snow anywhere in Ireland. The charts have been getting better day by day with correction south & west, taking the cold weather closer to Ireland. However I have a small fear that a correction north & east may occur again as the models finally work out system placements for the weekend.
Weatherwise at the moment for Friday, it is looking like this:-
Most of Munster, W Connaught & SE Leinster - rain
E Connaught, NE Leinster & SW Ulster - snow to rain late Friday (no great acuumulations except over high ground)
NE Ulster - snow to rain sometime Saturday (significant temporary snow cover, especially over hills)
Will probably be subject to further change, just hope somewhere in Ireland gets some decent snow event.
