PauloMN · 03-03-2006 3:03pm

Like a summer's day here in Dublin city....

Gonzo · 03-03-2006 3:18pm

like a summers day here too.. been like this all week, huge sunshine totals for this week I reckon, just that its been very cold.

andrewie · 03-03-2006 3:19pm

there is between an inch or a little more on the ground now

dloob · 03-03-2006 3:19pm

Increasing cloud from the north in Galway city.
Fingers crossed that the active part of the band of showers makes it here.

LookingFor · 03-03-2006 3:20pm

I'm seeing darker cloud on the horizon now. If Kells is getting some, it might bode well for us here (in NW Dub). Fingers crossed.

Snowbie · 03-03-2006 3:32pm

Dark here now temp is 5.6 and falling
Temp will plummet after this shower

ciaran76 · 03-03-2006 3:32pm

Just started like a blizzard here in Swords. But only lasted 20 seconds. ::(

SpitfireIV · 03-03-2006 3:33pm

Just looking at the Met office radar.....that band of snow is heading straight for Carlow (and sorrounding counties)...CHOO CHOO

. Let hope it doesnt die a death now.

Villain · 03-03-2006 3:36pm

I'm in Maynooth and the sky to the north of me is pure black and the wind has picked up here, looks like its heading for North Dublin???? I'm going to miss it by a few miles.

Snow has stopped here in Fermanagh. Nothing worth talking about. Theres the odd snow flake blowing around in the wind but thats it.

Not sure if there is a chance of any more. Day really failed to deliver any snow at all, yet previous poster advises of Blizzards in Leitrim

Fairy

Stopped here at 1pm roads seem to be cleared and passable on main roads wouldnt chance the back roads, blue skys here now and a lovely blanket covering everything else. Heading home to pick up the kids and make some snowmen

Snowbie · 03-03-2006 3:41pm

Villain · 03-03-2006 3:43pm

sparticus · 03-03-2006 3:45pm

Just started in Roscommon Town.:)

Snowbie · 03-03-2006 3:46pm

i am 3 miles sth of swords and not a thing,nothing,this is unbelievable,i give up,peeved is what i am

Villain · 03-03-2006 3:50pm

I feel your pain snowbie, I can see all the cloud to the North, I'm heading for Carlow in an hour hopefully I might see something along my way.

LookingFor · 03-03-2006 3:50pm

It's really weird. It seems wrong that it can be just starting in Roscommon and Dub at the same time? Are we seeing different sets of activity here or..?

edit - it's very grey here now, but no precip yet.

edit - getting greyer still, much more monotone darker cloud coming in. Wind is picking up too. Still no precip though!

billy the squid · 03-03-2006 3:50pm

If only we could get skies like this in summer. not so much as a sirius cloud in the sky here. temp last recorded at shannon of 5 degrees.

I wonder did yer wan do her naked protest on O'Connel street today.

03-03-2006 3:51pm

Beautifull sunny day here still
Temp maxxed at 5.7c which would mean rain in normal circumstances but It's going to drop in cloud cover.
Even in the sun its already dropping and is 5.3c now.

However the dp is still - 7

That band is narrowing all the while probably for 2 reasons,(1) the athmosphere is very dry into which it is heading and (2) the low pressure core is departing

Its still a line though and it will or should give snow for a time in Carlow and right the way west to Galway where it will be heavier.

I'm still not expecting much here if anything as though the band is going south south east in direction, the bit for here would have to cross the mountains.

PauloMN · 03-03-2006 3:54pm

Just on the phone to a mate in Julianstown and it's snowing there now also, sticking for the most part as well.

Snowbie · 03-03-2006 3:57pm

I was side swiped,wow,its all around me but not a drop,lol,maybe its me its trying to avoid,well another dark shower on the way maybe this time
Temp dropping still 4.2

SpitfireIV · 03-03-2006 3:58pm

Good satelitte pic of the band of precip below, what way is it heading? It it curving around towards the south east?

PauloMN · 03-03-2006 3:58pm

First trickle here in Dublin city.

Villain · 03-03-2006 3:59pm

It's west of me now as well, I might just see some before I leave.

Gonzo · 03-03-2006 3:59pm

been snowing here for 15 minutes now but it is very light and patchy most of the time and its not sticking as its just not heavy enough, ground is wet now.

Snowbie · 03-03-2006 4:02pm

Like you Irish1 need some to shut me up looks promising because band is now starting to shift SE

highdef · 03-03-2006 4:07pm

Was a very light flurry here in D8 a few minutes ago - stopped now but some very black skies to the north north east which are closing in slowly but surely. Hopefully there should be some action soon.
Looking at the 14:30 radar, the precip appears to be intesifying in Western Dublin.

Gonzo · 03-03-2006 4:08pm

snowing heavier now and starting to stick, only a very slight dusting so far
