Just about to leave the children into the classroom.. Im thinking of putting a sattelite image onto the whiteboard during the day so they can track the showers coming over Waterford.

Could any of the resident experts give me one URL to an image I can refresh every few mins? Im going to turn today into one big weather lesson!

In Ringsend at the moment overlooking both sides of the city. Something big seems to be coming in off the coast.

I humbly take back my melting snow comments:D

The initiative has been nicely regained by 10 minutes of heavy snow here, and still steadily falling. Nasty graupel crap but it'll do!!

light to medium snow here in Tallaght last 10 mins.

Actually South wicklow and wexford look like being the quietest areas today if so far is the trend.
Big clear part of the Sea upwind of us.

Really coming down again : http://www.carlowweather.com/webcamimage.jpg

Wind picking up and hail/sleet falling now.

Redsunset

holy **** its bad and im only 75metres above sea level

squonk

I only had a hail shower around 5:45 and that made the ground white, but by the time I got up at 6:50 the hail had all melted, even the stuff on the cars. There wasn't even a slipper spot to be found anywhere and it was only really after Howth Junction on the train before I started to see any snow. fingers crossed for later this evening!

I'm not bitter

As you can see the Irish sea due east is quiet now unfortunately except for whats going to run into louth dublin and meath

ninebeanrows

So clear blue skies here now.

Redsunset

ah i deserve it.didn't get a wink of sleep

gazzer

Anybody know what the chances are of having snow in Cavan today? It is bone dry here at the momen.

Pangea

So is the snowfall on the east coast as heavy as everyone was expecting? ,All i see in the comments is 1 cm etc.

Bone dry here in Donegal.

garytuohy

it is very dark here in Lucan but nothing falling - snow melting outside

ninebeanrows

Remember to keep our eye on the prize lads!

Here is a pic from southeast England this morning:eek:

20somethings

So unfair, this total waste of a space of a country can't even get SNOW right. The first time in 100 years I see snow and it might melt by noon!?!?

What about the generation of kids who have NEVER seen snow except on a skiing holiday? What about poor kids who can't afford skiing holidays!?!

SORT THIS SNOW DROUGHT OUT.

lucernarian

Aye Weathercheck, in halls. I shall see what college is like, but no reports till after 1!

dedon

Met Eireann last night said the east would see a few snow showers. Now they have stated a severe warning. How do they always get it SO wrong.
