An increase in gradient will generally increase stream velocity.
Why would the UK get colder if the gulf stream stopped flowing?
The Gulf Stream is a huge ocean current that brings warm water from equatorial waters near Florida. It keeps the countries of Western Europe much warmer than parts of Canada at similar latitudes, for example. If the Gulf Stream stopped flowing the UK would be much colder possibly even having some sea ice, as Canada does.
Why does it not snow often in Ireland?
Ireland's climate is mainly influenced by the Atlantic. It has a damp, but mild winter, relative to other countries. It does not get the extremes of heat or cold that other countries get. This is also due to the gulf stream, which brings warmer waters around the coast of Ireland, particularly the south and southwest. Most cold winter weather comes from the north or east, from continental Europe. Winds predominantly come from the west or southwest. Compared to other countries, Ireland does not have many very high mountains, and much of the centre of the country is quite flat. Snow would be more common in mountainous areas, but not very common, or sufficient to make winter sports very viable in Ireland.

That's the jet stream effect.. it pulls warmer waters north from the southern hemisphere, and the end result is that you get milder winters, in spite of having a lattitude matching countries with much harsher climates.
