    its quite a marginal snow affair in Cork city...it veers back and forth between icy rain and snow every couple of minutes so there must be marginal dew points affecting us here or colder air intermittantly displacing warmer surface air perhaps?

    thats been happening all day:(
    The troughs fragment into nothing by the time they get here, rerun the met eireann radar over past few hours. I know there is loads of troughs coming but they keep breaking up past the midlands, I think were gonna be very lucky to see anything here by the morning, the western half of the country should be fantastic tho.

    met eireann now sayin that showers will be confined to west and northern areas tonight and just scattered wintry showers tomorrow, I think thats it for the east really.

    That precip on the western seaboard should make it here.

    What time do you estimate it hitting over here? Is the track not too far south also?

    http://www.aaroadwatch.ie/'s snow reports:

    Updated: 19/01/2009 17:03:12

    *ROAD CONDITIONS* Driving conditions are varied with wet and slippery roads in most areas. There are strong gusts of wind to contend with in Connaught. Heavy snowfall is now being reported in the Northwest and the South. *N15/DONEGAL* Conditions on the N15 Donegal to Ballybofey road, the N56 Letterkenny to Creeslough road and all roads around Letterkenny town are treacherous due to heavy snowfall. This has resulted in a number of blocked roads. Gardai advise drivers to avoid the Barnesmore Gap although drivers tell us that it is passable with care. *LEITRIM* Motorists should drive with extreme care throughout the county as heavy snow and sleet has been reported. Particular caution is needed in Drumshanbo and Ballinaglearagh. *N21/LIMERICK* Drive with extreme care on the N21 between Newcastle West and Abbeyfeale where snow has resulted in hazardous conditions.

    *CORK* There is snow fall on the N20 at Mallow, the N25 at Midleton and Gardai advise extreme care on M8 between Fermoy and Mitchelstown due to snow. *WICKLOW* Gardai are advising motorists to avoid the Sally Gap due to icy conditions. *LAOIS* Gardai are urging motorists to drive with care in Portlaoise due to sleety conditions. *KILDARE* Recent snow fall in Naas is leading to dangerous driving conditions. Drive with extreme care.

    I hope your right wc:)
    Its just a bit frustrating to see the west been hammered all day and so far they have failed to make it across to the east.

    According to Met Eireann we have another big chance this friday:
    Friday: Continuing cold with sunny spells and wintry showers generally. However there is a risk of some heavy showers with a possibility of significant accumulations of snow.

    What you thinking of Friday for!

    Tomorrow morning is another amazing shot at snow.

    Whre are you Nacho Libre? The precipitation appears to be following a NW -SE direction the bulk of which is now coming across the Shannon estuary and into the Galtee's and then into Waterford I presume..same said the snow reported in Donegal is going into Fermanagh, Tyrone and Monaghan I'd guess but radar echoes are weakening as it does so so perhaps it breaking up..hopefully more beefy showers will punch inland soon..
