I really hope you get snow on Coleraine's mountain soon Frostyjoe if only to temper your enthusiasm a tiny bit.

Naw! Snow at my house. Sure we are down for 2c max on Tuesday with -9c uppers! Why not?

Should be good for you Frosty

[ronan]

Yes please!!!!

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

indeed Ronan

 

  

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Anyone else feeling another Dec 10??

[mountain shadow]

Hope not. My washing machine froze up and boiler packed in!

Save the best stuff for Xmas.

[ronan]

I am but from our favoured direction NW/N. We missed out so many times last year while the south east of NI waded knee deep in snow after enjoying streamer after stream after streamer! I hope the pest from the East stays away this year and we get reload after reload after reload from the NW/N!!

[ronan]

06z keeps the cold theme going  and some of the charts showing a completely blocked Atlantic!! A fairly weak block at the minute but i would say that the strength of the block will increase as we head closer to the time or at least that's what i'm hoping for!Things seem to be developing nicely for us and it certainly reminds me of 2010! 

[ronan]

Ok folks the 12z rolling out and it's looking pretty damn good if you are a cold lover!!  

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Bring it on Ronan

[smithyweather]

Yes snow from about 6pm monday night onwards with a 2c max on Tuesday. If its a proper northernly we are bound to see some lying snow with those temps. 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Good to see North/North westerly based cold coming in, much better than the pest from the east as you say Ronan

[ronan]

Your right Pom and then we have the chance of being locked in that pattern with minor mild blips! The bull dozer from the north is a coming!!  

[mountain shadow]

Popping out for a snow shovel this weekend for sure

Winter is a coming.....

[smithyweather]

Would the snow showers be frequent and heavy on monday night?

Lidl also have snow boots at £17, get them in quick

I would say you are well in the firing line for any that come in Frosty

[smithyweather]

Just hae to wait and see. I am always in the best location for northernlies, it just depends. Sometimes the showers aren't frequent and other times they merge to form a band. I know in 2010 the showers one day merged and it snowed all day, sometimes lough foyle actually acts lake affect.

One things for sure we'll hay no problem with -9c uppers. Fingers crossed the showers are frequent and we get a good covering down to low levels.

The gfs shows a 2c max but if the showers go all day it can be like -1c. Naw expecting that though.

Some creaming of the panties being done in the model forum! A cracking UKMO and ECM have built my confidence even more!!

Thats a mental image I could do without Ronan!!

[ronan]

Lol Pom! They won't be creaming the panties next week when we get all the snow!!

[gary1365]

what are the chance for me in such a low lying area right beside the sea

[smithyweather]

Its -9c uppers so you will see snow for sure. (As of now)

For the north coast its usually -7c.

Jez if frosty doesn't stop ramping in the MO thread that wee dancing man Avatar will have a heart attack!!

[smithyweather]

Ano. Hes funny but find it hard to take him seriously because he ramps so much that it seems as though anything even remotely decent is made look "epic".

[Baltic Regions]

Just woke up from the oul spring-autumn hibernation.

 

*yawns stretches and logs onto netweather

 

Howdy everyone.

 

Do I smell snow in the air???
