Wow and very windy!

Go get some snappies:D

Oh my God whole place is white massive flakes and no sign of blue sky

Its been a good day for snowfall here anyway. The showers are now dying back and its doubtful many of us in the East and South will see futher snow showers tonight. Temps should be a tad lower tomorrow. With heavier more widespread showers...........accumulations are possible;)

i think i live in a snow barrier:( almost 8 hours of sunshine today and barely a cloud except for those few showers that skirted near me earlier in the afternoon, so so dissapointing. Im really hoping for better things from tomorrow

Anyone know what Sally Gap is like??

That was the thing about today - showers were quite localised. Whilst a blizzard brews with Earthman, there's barely a cloud in the sky with me now I saw two very decent snow showers today, one more prolonged (20 mins or more), but both were in different places. Where I am now, I saw two showers pass to both the east and west, only brushing here. It's kind of a bit of pot-luck really, since there aren't bands of snow, but pockets of it, seemingly.

Hopefully tomorrow that trough will make things a little more general, and a little cloudier. Even met eireann is forecasting more widespread showers tomorrow, so fingers crossed for you Gonzo

lookin at yer 12z Sunday and Monday could be the days for major snow

The shower is still going here hard and heavy but the blue sky is appearing.
The grass is white as are the roof tops , the car and the tarmac

Temp fell from 4c to 1.8c in that shower

From MetCheck:

"We are also keeping a close eye on a developing trough feature to the East of Iceland. This is expected to push Southwards overnight and into Wednesday enhancing the risk of snow showers across Central parts of Ireland and also Northern Ireland. "

This must be the trough they are talking about. Unsure of its potency however it arrives at the right time!

fantastic fax chart:D

I'm off Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday and I'm willing to drive anywhere in Ireland to get Snow Photo's, so hopefully somewhere will deliver a decent a fall like a foot of snow.

Should the Wicklow mountains get much?

Even Rosslare has reported snow.
The 4 snow showers only amounted to 0.2mm, and while the fall was greater over the mountains total amount wouldn't amount to much lying on the ground.

Emm but in the shorter term

really really jealous ppl here come Saturday or Friday:eek:

Might increase shower activity in eastern areas though;)

Mine didnt record any probably because it was very dry stuff.
That longish shower has left the place looking very whitebut it tracked east of croghan mt which is gas as we have maybe a cm or 2 cms here with little drifts.
The fields look like they've had a had frost on them and the tarmac etc is white.

Temp down to 0.7c now , and theres just been a beaut of a sunset

Dewpoint is -4c

Damn it seems like i'm in a different country altogether compared to ye lads up the country. Very warm down here, topping at around 11 degrees C. although the wind picked up around 3 pm, and the temp did drop to around 6 last time i looked.. In actual fact there was a massive cloud hovering over the Slieve Mish mnts (as seen in Earthmans very excellen sat pic above..) and i thought that there might be a nice cover snow on top.., unfortunately it looks like there is less snow there than there was yesterday.!!

Mad alright, it might track a little north and I think regardless we will be on the cold side of it...

Interesting weather ahead.

Incidently is that a northeasterly

Earthman's link has updated (http://saturn.unibe.ch/rsbern/noaa/dw/realtime/current/n1bcurr.jpg). You can see it has cleared up a lot over Dublin and most of Leinster, since the last update. Hopefully some of that activity further north will penetrate down, but with night falling it might be unlikely (?)

Gonzo

I havent seen a cloud in the sky since 3pm so I doubt it. Very clear night out there.

Hi Gonzo its likely activity will being to push in from the north during
the early hours of tomorrow;)

Slippin Jimmy

There at about 1:20 it was snowing in Navan and again at 3:30. But it was very very light, still nice to see it swirl around. The temperature is about 3c, but it does not feel that cold out. Anything happening over this way tomorrow?

Six One Weather:

Lying snow in the North Tomorrow showers along the West coast and to the North, possibly snow in Munster on Saturday. Frost tonight with temps down to -3.

Looks like I'll be heading NW for my snow scenes Thursday!

lucernarian

WC is the activity you're referring to a possible PL or a trough?? I want to know my chances of something good tomorrow:)
