Easterly Blast Part III(potential snow for east)

LookingFor · 03-01-2008 7:14pm

Didn't notice the shower, but there's a light sprinkling of snow on the cars now here in D15. I guess it was a passing shower..hopefully something more substantial comes our way through the rest of the evening

Can you see any potential in it coming slightly south? To hit dublin and wicklow.

Or renewed showers coming in off the irish sea?

What about tomorrow when we have the mild clash with the cold.....?

Its possible they could make it further south but after midnight the wind will change direction quicky to the SW then thats it.

As for tomorrow doubt it for the east. Good chance further west.

Anyone near me should look ENE and check out that mad looking anvil. You should be able to see it. Looks like another shower.

most of the snow is falling from a line from Drogheda across to Navan and northwards. some light hail here again

03-01-2008 7:33pm

As far as I know the Eagle will be doing the forecast tonight on RTE

ninebeanrows · 03-01-2008 7:34pm

Somebody asked about tomorrow and i will bedgrudgingly comment as i have to get some showers tonight!

Tonight is going to be mighty cold, as the winds veer west by 6am, temperatures will dip to -6c inland.

Following UKM alot of people will see some preceeded snow!

ninebeanrows · 03-01-2008 7:39pm

Well we had a light shower of SLEET there, don't know whats going on there.

Wertz · 03-01-2008 7:43pm

Heavy hail-come-snow pellets now, lying on roads and green areas. Substantial build up on cars. Took pics but flash is only picking out airborne snow and not showing up b/g properly

embee · 03-01-2008 7:43pm

It was sleet that was falling here earlier, but it is now nice big fat snowflakes and they're bucketing down - best birthday EVAR!!!!

darkman2 · 03-01-2008 7:56pm

Heavy hail (maybe a bit of snow aswell) then rain shower here. Almost a whiteout with the hail.

embee · 03-01-2008 7:57pm

Have added pics to the Weather Pictures forum of the snow in Ardee, Co. Louth

Gonzo · 03-01-2008 8:03pm

Snow on the ground here (Ashbourne). There was some thunder and lightning about an hour ago, but has gone now.

Heard thunder in D15, but don't think there was any precip with it here..must have been distant, out your way.

edit - actually it's snowing now here.

hawkwing · 03-01-2008 8:18pm

snowing in castleknock now

Wertz · 03-01-2008 8:19pm

Latest radar looks like the area of precip is increasing by a fair bit...
Does "lake effect" snow not rely on daytime heating of the water surface? Or is the drop in temps after nightfall more condusive to snow formation?

Yeah, it's got a bit heavier..nice to see

Lying on some surfaces at least, as far as I can tell.

ninebeanrows · 03-01-2008 8:27pm

Prolonged light rain here now.

Really cant believe it, but its true.

Everything is very wet.

darkman2 · 03-01-2008 8:32pm

Shower started as snow here then quickly turned to rain. I think thats pretty much it for coastal margins. Too marginal here as always. I was outside and tbh it just does not even feel cold enough. Inland will probrably see a dusting.

Its actually fair lashing rain outside now.

Gutted is the word, absolutely gutted.

I expected a lack of precip but not rain.

Supercell · 03-01-2008 8:37pm
