    Indeed, snow does end up melting. Everywhere is pretty much saturated after last weeks rain already.

    wait till 11 till that colder air comes in (-11 degrees at 1400 metres) and your temp will drop like a stone

    Hi folks.

    Wind has begun to build up in Laragh-Rathdrum. Very strong gusts, heading out for a walk now with the dog and will update on return.

    The temperature will drop later.

    Like I say if showers do come in early I expect rain and sleet with snow after in the early hours.

    it snowed here lightly for about 5 minutes, some hail mixed in with it too. The showers atm are very light and localised, lookin at the radar it will be a while yet before we see proper showers. Im half way between dunshaughlin and Ratoath so that very light shower might have missed Dunshaughlin village itself.

    Was just looking at the weather station in Arklow.............Just noticed the temperature, at 3:05pm today it was 2.2 c and now it 2.9 c..........why is that, I thought the temperature would drop more instead of rise.
    Cloud cover maybe? I dont know :rolleyes:

    watching Liverpool v Chelsea now, just kicked off at anfield and it's snowing there :)

    Ho ho, what a result! a 2-0 win and snow on the way (hopefully)!

    Yep. A bit too close. The perfect spot to be for significant lying snow would be Blanch, Ashbourne, Blessington - these sorts of places in enough from the coast. On the coast itself is always going to have less lying snow. Just a mile or two inland there often is big difference. A dusting on the coast is often a good few cm's inland....any sort of height too is always better.

    Ardee is (very approximately) 8-10 miles inland, is that too far inland to see snow?
