January Snowstorm

I have to agree fully with you. I think a lot of it is down to past experience by us older folk. As you say temp already higher in the West with Cork now up to 7. I know I'm on the coast but the weather here is on it's way to ye guys Well Done west though for giving an honest reasoned argument as to what you think is likely. Another point to remember is normally when we get snow it is already snow before it arrives. This is atlantic rain which will have to turn to snow

Looks like another over ramped event for most. A few hours snow(if your lucky) before it turns back to rain.Yipeee

The 18z looking good for an upgrade for next week Pbly already FI though. Its unreal how the models can sway at even 24hours away Just goes to show if you favour the milder option you will never be far off in forecasting

Yes folk like js who lives in Costa del Cork

Any chance for southern Ireland?? I notice snowcover showing yes on the site

Yet another over ramped event. WIB is about the only one on here who gives realistic forecasts. The gfs has obvious flaws that are becoming more obvious year by year

You know the charts are good when JS hasn't had one moan today

I think this is indeed key. We need a much stronger scandi high to what's showing. Maybe it will upgrade but we need it to for a more prolonged cold spell.Flimsy has hit the nail on the head

It's going to be a week of margins I think. Scotland looks odds o though for a whiteout Looks like the rugby will be a no go next wkd in Murrayfield

The blocking high is not strong enough to our northeast I think the 18z is going zonal by Friday. By the way Matty snow is never a certainty.A long way to go. Interesting though

Funny enough the 12z almost makes Cork one of the favoured areas for snow with a series of lows skirting our South Coast throughout the week. Wouldn't it be hilarious if I was the only member to get snow this week

Well I'm off to watch the rugby and I recommend everyone does the same. It should be a cracker and for all you betting larks I have Ireland to score over 25pts or more

You were right. Good spot

That looks good alright Matty Met Eireann have really backtracked from yesterday. Now where was the guy that said Cork never gets snow

Cork wakes up to 3 feet of snow :lol: Cold Turkey for teits as he stays dry :lol:

:lol: Mods he's affecting my mental health :lol:

A definate improvement from the 18z Maybe I will cancel my moan tonight ...................until tomorrow that is

I feel a moan coming on I might wait until I see the 18z though

I love it when you have a good moan on this thread it always gives me a laugh. Brian.

That's a safe bet alright :lol: :lol: Hope you feeling better Brian That's a little unfair. I would have thought we all play a part on here

Fair enough but the models show an 80% chance of a returning atlantic and all I can see hear is talk of snowfall. It would be great to discuss possible storm damage for the west flooding potential etc.That's all weather too you know. It might aswell be renamed snow watch the way things are headed. Plenty of other interest in the models besides snow

I really am astonished at the way this forum has gone this year. We have had an incredibly mild Winter the news is full of global warming talk which is very much becoming a major threat to our planet and yet on here it's just endless hopecasting. My view on the charts is an increasingly dominated atlantic during the week with snow almost impossible away from the East of UK.Why any of the Irish folk on here are even commenting on next week baffles me.It's mild windy and wet for us right through My view on the high to the East is that it will delay the atlantic onslaught which will not lead to snow just another week of nothing before the atlantic really kicks off By the way I dont just speak for my location about next week but 80% of mainland UK

At least we get Summers Looks to me like wind and floods will be the main topic in a few days time

I cant seem to open that teits. Can you repost it?

New York looks really bitter by Friday with maxes reading -8C Any news on snow for there wf? Am I right in saying that if New York remains snowless until the end of month all sorts of records will be broken
