Showers picking up in the irish sea again now.

That low will be over us tonight so temps should be low enough to keep the precipitation as snow.

will the east coast see as much snow overnight as the south east of england
got this morning?

Women on the local radio from Met Eireann says that theres to be showers of snow for my area throughout the day, then tonight and early tomorrow theres to be more persistant, heavier falls of snow!

I can live with that!

Had a nice shower here in Tallaght a few minutes ago, just topped things up nicely as it started to melt. Anyone who doesn't smile when they see snow must be dead inside. Unless you were heading on holiday and had a flight cancelled or some such.

Took me 2 hours to get from the Curragh Racecourse to Naas this morning, whiteout conditions several times, not that it mattered as I never got out of first gear.

Roads as bad as I've seen in ages, not a gritter to be seen anywhere.

A bit of a thaw setting in here now, 2.8C/0.3C DP, but those values should start to drop from now on.

Schools have already decided not to open tomorrow morning, kids are going to have a ball.

Working ;) from home today.
All snow on the street outside my house has melted during the couse of the morning but now it's pelting down. Almost looks like fog it's so heavy :D

Same here, working from home, kids off school, LOADS of snow outside and a very happy 31 year old child inside!!

Seriously........everyone else seems to have snow!!

None in North Tipp at all.....the flippin sun was shining earlier on!!! Why Why Whyyyyyyyyy!!!

Scubadevils

The Nth Dublin area snow shield is still holding firm... cloud hits it and then breaks up and float on by overhead - nice thick grey lumps that then reform when they move inland. Its pretty efficient, must have went down earlier in the night for a bit as some bits got through.
:pac:

They're not really that I can see.
Ok theres been 2 or 3 inches max in some areas from showers but honestly I thought there would be a lot more widespread last night as thats when the coldest air was aloft.

Pressures dropping like a stone and still the shower activity is well less than average.

The met are confusing the story a bit as they are combining the forecast of showers with the arrival of the front tonight.
The two are different.
It doesnt look like there will be prolonged showers this afternoon-just fast passing ones which won't be adding to the total because once the sun is out in between them-big thaw.

Letterkenny got a good pasting alright! Took me two hours to get through the town this morning. Absolute mayhem!

Sure Letterkenny gets everything, don't you know.

Taking our snow now.

hopefully more tonight, were just really unlucky in Dunshaughlin so far, nothing but a few crappy hail showers yet a few miles to our west and north is geting plastered. It seems were in the direct path of that Isle Of Man which is why were getting next to nothing. If the wind would veer more to the east would help alot:)

This must be the most popular weather thread on boards weather ever.

An anvil moving a good few miles to my north, nothing in shot to my NE on the latest radar.

GavinH

what is the earliest, Cork could expect snow? So far any precipitation is dieing out before getting down here.

Scubadevils

Mix of sleet, rain and the odd stray flake here now... will be brief though as I can literally see the one cloud overhead responsible.

Em, shouldn't you avoid being in first gear when driving in snow?

If you compare the met office radar 13:00 to 13:30, theres more showers on the later graphic.

The snow has all but melted here in Waterford City. More expected tonight but I wouldn't hold my breath.:rolleyes:
