very heavy snow showers here, a good covering on the ground.

welcome ollie and enjoy your snow.

had a hail shower, lasted for 5 minutes, grouond is very wet now. outside temp 2.3c

http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Recm2401.gif guys and gals, this chart has potential for a prolonged cold spell.

the showers should get right across the country, the clouds are racing across the sky. due to the strong westerly winds.

woke up to a covering of snow here. big anvil clouds to my west.

the wind is picking up, sign of things to come.

lovely and mild out today.

yes ronan and by god it's gonna come like a bat out of hell on wednesday.

ah yeah, all the caveats apply.I don't get sucked into daily chart runs anymore. main focus wednesday evening ready at the lamp posts and radars.

http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Recm2401.gif hmm, ecm 12z not as good as 00z. only one run though. -850hpa line gets lifted out of Ireland repeatedly and cold spell comes to an end earlier. only one run, could be upgrades in the morning, hopefully.

certainly hope so, snow is very welcome any day on our wee island.

yes it has potential to be a prolonged cold spell, time to build up the reserves of energy and tbh i'm glad we had a break between these cold spells, it really knackers ya esp when hitting middle age. lol.

you are doing very well this winter ronan, I hope you cherish it. lol.

would agree with that ronan, according to Ian F tweeting it could be a memorable event.

I think wednesday/thursday are probably nailed at this stage, after that we shall see.

Neiller i see your name down below, come on in and join the buzz, there's a great cold spell coming, probably the best of the winter. nice ronan.

http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Recm962.gif snow showers packing in, in a strong north westerly wind, most likely with elevation but to lower levels progressively, -5hpa line sweeping over the entire country by as early as thursday morning. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Recm1201.gif more wintry showers blowing down on a northerly wind, all be it with elevation. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Recm1682.gif snow showers down west, north and east coasts at low levels. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Recm2402.gif sweet chart, north and east getting packets of showers with that. -10hpa line into scotland. a calculated brief guess there, correct if wrong.

sound pom. really encouraging to say the least.

who posted that ronan?

omg some stunning eye candy on the model charts this morning, i'm of to buy a sledge. oh yeah and a big shovel.

been snowing on and off here all day, a couple of cms accumulated. outside temp 0.7c.

temps dropping like a stone here. outside temp 0.8c.

ice and snow thawing here, outside temp 4.1c. a beautiful clear sunny day.
