    Its dropped to -3.1c here but still clear. (DP of -5.6)

    It would be mad if we got a heavy shower in at this stage!

    Those showers are really pepping up in the Irish sea looking at the netweather 19:40 radar, a few miles inland and some places in the North East must be getting plastered tonight.

    Not making any real headway south which frankly is driving me nuts!

    Dropping fast here too, only -1.7°C here but still falling pretty quick, looks like i'll beat my best yet of -3.3°C at this rate..a little bit of sneacta would be nice on top..doesn't look likely though.

    I'd say you might be just about close enough to catch a coastal shower Arctictree if your very lucky, I reckon my chances are close to zero though ..bahh!!

    Snowing lightly here for around an hour now, not sticking on the ground but the shed roof and cars are very slowly turning white!

    Temp now +1.0C , DP -1.5C, wind has turned more Northerly than NE now.

    I've just checked the 19:30 radar!!!

    All I shall say is LOL. I wouldn't pick a better spot to be in for snow than where I am now. I note that the air seems somewhat warmer and some of the earlier snow melted where it was thin.

    Currently we have about an inch on the driveway and 2 on the lawn. I've taken more pics.

    Anyway, the radar seems highly suggestive of some sort of organised precipitation. I'll let more knowledgeable minds explain but is there some sort of shallow LP at work??

    Edit: I suspected that dew points were rising as the wind chill effect backed off at the same time as the snow starting to melt a bit more. I've checked the latest METAR for Dublin Airport and dewpoints are hanging in there just below 0.

    Snow in Tallaght now too.

    No sign of it sticking. Just melting straight off. Need a good Plastering for that to happen.

    I was just thinking it looked distinctly polar lowish except the damn thing aint gonna travel down the Irish sea and pummel the East coast with blizzards (or rain over WC's house :p )
    I'd say it'll probably continue to give rain and snow to those getting it now for a while before fizzling out or moving back into Scotland.

    Yeah - a bit puzzled by that one. NRA has Bray at +3.0c? Currently +3.1c here.

    Well that is a real pity.:p

    I don't like those dewpoints... It's been snowing on and off since the last 30 minute dumping, yet the snow depth is stuck at an inch.

    The flakes are just wiggling their way down from the sky so elegantly

    Killing you! I'm only approx. 3 miles away and I have nothing!!! boo-hoo

    Although temps are dropping (currently +2.6c) but dewpoint is rsing (-0.8c).

    Temp now +2.4c - has dropped 1.0c in half an hour - hopefully that means that the snow is near - hopefully!!!

    Just discovered this:

    http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/ni/ni_forecast_warnings.html#flash

    Snow falls expected in Down and Armagh over next couple of hours.

    It seems that there's organisation in that band in the Irish sea, but I don't know how the UKMO spotted it at 6 pm. Met Eireann had forecasted the showers to die down in the 7pm forecast.

    Wow, you lucky soul, now get out there and have a snowball fight!

    If there was that much lying on the road i would be knocking in to my 25 year old neighbours and getting a snowball fight going!

    I remember around 4 years ago everybody on the road was out having a big one with the measly 2 inch fall! Gas stuff!
