    No chance of snow at all I think unless you are up at 2500ft asl or so.

    lets say it does! Lets say we get LOADS! Would it stick and would we be able to get out and enjoy it with the wind over the next few days?!
    Wind is really picking up here! In West Dublin atm. I have a pressure of 978 - I just calibrated it! Im near Lucan would this be correct ?Anyone nearby to confirm?

    Wouldnt stick as such, but an hour of gales and snow would be great to look at.

    You dont usually calibrate barometers in low pressure but in your case you can understand that.Was reading too low.
    Next time a high pressure is bang on over the country re-calibrate it then.
    Which wont be for awhile yet.

    I knew as early as last wednesday that I couldn't extend time away for another day.....especially in camper van
    I haven't even started reading forum. Been reading bedtime stories to little un instead:rolleyes:, but they're packed away now.

    A quick Q,
    how low is the pressure likely to get?

    Meanwhile, the fall is increasing.
    down 3.7mb past hour.
    979.5 and gust to 43mph.
