We are relatively tropical down here in Kerry. Have had no severe frost in 5 days and have no ice on the roads. Raining now, wayyyy too warm for snow at the moment. Hopefully when the cold easterly kicks in, it will negate the warming effect of the sea

Happy christmas everyone. Hope ye all enjoyed this cold spell up north. We had no snow as usual but we might get some frontal snow next week during the next cold snap. Slainte

Still depressingly warm in kerry. Not a cloud around. A non-event again. The 9 year wait for snow continues

I hope so storm 10. Last snow here was 26th dec 2000

Still have temps of 7c in the far south. I dont think any potent showers will make it this far. Did they say something on the RTE forecast about coastal showers along the west (and SW ) coast? I hope so

How do you rate our chances in the far south January Snowstorm? I think that we are just too far South and west to be affected by any showers from an easterly or notherly. What are the chances of showers from the warmish atlantic or a trough forming?

So am I. Precip will never make it to the west either i reckon. Any chance of anything from the atlantic i wonder?

About 100miles further west will do nicely. Then maybe a low nudging up against a NE'ly flow creating a battleground situation

Im going over to Leeds next week. Should be fun trying to come back to Eire on the 18th if these charts come off!

Thanks for the clarification snowaddict. Im from kerry so the SW frontal situation would be ideal. Snow would stream down from the mountains.

Towers trying their best to develop to the north of leeds

Where abouts in Leeds are you? I can see some precip in the inner ring road lights but it looks like very light snow at best?

It that why the met office has updated its weather alerts for the North?
