I'm amazed this place isn't busier due to the current storm, can't believe 260,000 homes without power in the south, what percentage of the population is that, 10%??
-
Going by the bbc forecast earlier there still a good chance of snow in the west tomorrow, might not thaw fully
-
Ms looking at the radar it's heading your way now
-
Snow heavy at present, car stuck at bottom of lane!!
-
Even lying here in Ballymoney, though melts after showers have passed. Here's hoping at home with greater elevation we'll have a good covering!!
-
Fascinating but scary few days of weather coming up, but like the past month or so the worst seems to heading south of my location. Very unusual normally we see the worst winds along the north coast!
-
Amazed I honestly didn't expect it to settle but a good covering and still snowing heavily!!
-
Feels cold enough for snow tonight, a good ground frost has already started!
-
It's not a good sign when the metoffice have removed their forecast for cold in the 16-30 day outlook! Very little sign of snow anytime soon!
-
Without a Greenland high it's definitely very difficult to get snow for the whole of Ireland. Mountain shadow you're probably in the best spot, east coast with elevation!
-
Models looking better tonight for snow! Funny how many times we see the model forum go into meltdown with a good run. ECM 168 would be good for us in the north!
-
Just drove up from Dublin can't believe the torrential rain around Dundalk, thought the car was going to aquaplane the motorway was so bad!
-
At last I now know what Ronan and pomeroy we're talking about when they called him frosty Joe! I thought it was in reference to him being an Irish version of frosty who posts in the model discussion thread.
-
Was he banned before? He did provide some controversy on here which to be honest I enjoyed, but it was only a matter of time before he went too far!
-
I'm confused how do u know he's no longer here?
-
Definitely nicer day weather wise good to get out and about! We didn't get the same storm on the 26th up here, as smithy so politely mentioned but was definitely pretty rough so calm weather welcome! What's going on with the metoffice 16-30 day forecast predicting much colder weather. Light at the end of the tunnel!!!
-
Merry Christmas everyone!!
-
Snowing heavily now struggling to settle on grass and soil, another 50m elevation and it would be white. To be honest all credit to gibby on the model forum, His forecast was the only one that mentioned uncertainty regarding wind strength for north west Ireland!
-
I know Ronan it could get bad later it's strange because it's still so quiet here. As long as no one gets hurt it's definitely better than our normal boring mild drizzle!
-
The further west you are the more likely you'll be see snow tonight, will definitely be a proper dumping over the sperrins. I'm starting to worry that holding a birthday/Christmas party tomorrow afternoon isn't a good idea, especially as we'll probably have a power cut!!!
-
Colder and frosty now last flurry left the ground white but unfortunately no more showers to seen on radar.
-
This storm has me worried for Santa! What happens if an elf is blown off the sleigh?
-
Pom I must be missing those posts from the desperate women, smithy tomorrow looks like its turning into a western counties only event now!
-
Oh my goodness smithy we share birthdays, maybe we're long lost twins:)
-
Smithy it seems the model thread are looking for the elusive Greenland or Scandinavian high which to be honest before 2008 was quite rare and might turn out that way again. South of England rarely gets snow in this setup. Scandi high in particular though doesn't give us much snow in the north of Ireland! Here's hoping for a proper dumping of snow from one of these westerlies over the next couple of weeks!
