Have these boring HP in winter become more common and long lasting over the last 15 years or so? Feels like it this past 6 or 7 years especially.

Met office latest video for Christmas weekend on euro model.

53% chance low pushes further north and introduces milder air for most. Still wintriness further north.

41% chance low stays further to the south. Wintry on its leading edge with snow showers to the north of it thanks to an Easterly wind.

Based on the euro model.

Yes very windy here. More so than Barra.

It didn't take long for the snow to melt today. Was only 3cm, I'm low altitude though.

[Ireland Regional Weather Discussion]

Snowing. Everywhere white.

Hello again. Hope you're all well.

Rough day tomorrow, focus is obviously on the red alert areas but there could be a surprise in the NW. Western Ulster and North Connacht snow risk tomorrow morning. Blizzard conditions if it comes off, high routes above 200m most likely but a chance of something more widespread lower down.
