Maybe in an hour or so, its howling a gale outside and snowing at the same time, not go out and take a snap conditions.

Continue here.

Post here on forecasts and snow thats about to fall,or falling presently at your locations around the country.Update with links to radar/maps/charts as i think they will be used consistently throughout.

Will also feel icy out in the wind with significant wind chill and after thawing snow will freeze over after sundown.

Bitter cold countrywide with low singal figure temps by day and sub zero by night.
Be careful out driving people.

Do not post pics in this thread.Post them [thread=2055050139]here[/thread]

We are having a slight shower here in Newport Co. Tipp. It is coming and going...

EDIT: WOW now its really coming down!

Just got back from Swords 15 mins ago and from 100 metres upwards, the grass and house roofs were fully whitened. Blizzards here at the moment and 2 inches on the grass aswell. It's the first time since 2005 that I've heard the crunch of snow:D

Scubadevils

Snowing Lightly Here

Good amount of showers to our North merging to longer spells of snow

Synoptics would suggests Dublin will wake up to 2/3 cm's of snow but as we all know were probably likely going to wake up to nothing!

If we arent done over its going to be a great night;)

Scubadevils

Any sign of the polar low weathercheck?

rc28

Somebody on netweather said that the look of the radar echos over ireland make it look like a polar low, what do u think wc? latest at 22:00 certainly does have a swirl pattern to it:

Stopped snowing here now but snow isnt thawing yet

SpitfireIV

Just had a gawk outside and for the first time today there are snowflakes blowing about, not much mind you....but snow none the less


Just turned to a moderate shower of really fine hail, settling everywhere.

There is circular banding, but to call it a polar low is way of the mark.
We have some showers moving south and giving snow to some, but its no polar low.
If it was a polar low you would see a thread in after hours called "its snowing" with 500 people replying saying..its snowing!.

ninebeanrows

Its very very hard to determine

But if it is one its a weak one..

What's annoying me is theres been flakes falling for a while now but it hasnt intensified sooooooo frustrating!!

Theres no doubt about it though there should be lots of snow around tonight if you have abit of luck

Snowbie

Our circulation is moving down over east connaucht atm or the polar low fragment if you want.But it has enough energy to give a few cms over the midlands down to laois carlow direction.

It has to be retierated that we wiykd gave be soooo unlucky not to see at least a few cm's tonite .. things are looking fantastic;)

Bring it on. Dry in Tullow still.

ninebeanrows

Is moving SE.. should hit counties from Meath southwards and a large portion of the country should see a decent fall of snow.. SHOULD

Trogdor

Heavy snow here, sticking to nowt atm though.
P.s. WC, I have to get up at 4 to go to the airport(if we can get there with such trecherous roads:D). I'm not staying up all night, so should i go to bed now and get some sleep, maybe get up around 3 or go to bed later and get up at 4. Any idea when the best activity is to be?

SpitfireIV

Bloody pegging snow here now!! hehe

*CroppyBoy goes back outside to see how many snowflakes he can catch in his mouth *

Bray - Thats v.close to me but still only snowing lightly here. These showers are a very hit and miss affair. Anything should stick though....
