What about the snow thats finally falling in the west - is it likely to turn to rain too later tonight??

Gonzo

I feel its only a matter of minutes before the snow turns to sleet/rain here too, an inch or more has fallen in past hour but its starting to get quite slushy on the ground now and the thaw is back.

thats it for the snow i think untill maybe thursday if were lucky

Supercell

DP is rising..i'm just gonna enjoy this before it goes wet

Hard to say.
What you have out there has not been over the sea since morning [it's circulating round the low].
It came into Dublin and Wicklow and wexford this morning as snow and stayed as snow as it travelled south westwards.
It probably will stay as snow but die out to be replaced by this new stuff thats currently falling as rain where I am.

Thats going to have some snow,some rain and some sleet in it.
A wintry mix is the current buzz word.

Gonzo

rain now here too, just turned in past 5 mins. Gonna be alot of surface water in the morning.

francosp

Whats the chances it turns back to snow ?

Supercell

Gonna be rain and snow mixture on the east coast all night probably.

leahyl

:eek::eek:

Temp is dropping here again,you'll be glad to know and I'll bet if you go out with a lamp and examine that rain it's sleety rain.It must be light?

It probably will change back to wet snow at times with you or even all snow if heavier.


Did I hear someone ask about Cork?

Higher probability of snow there- especially inland and at height [no guarantee] but the precip that hits you will have traveled the scenic route via annamoe actually down through the spine of the country and then into Cork.
It might take the N7... [I'm actually serious] having already went up the N11 and the R752 [neither traditional routes to Cork according to the RAC or the AA]

This is good [from a snow hopers point of view]as it's all land and interacting with some colder air ahead of it.

jenzz

DP dropping back again:D

Sierra Oscar

Ok, that light snow just turned to heavy fluffy snow now.:)

LookingFor

Weird. That rain doesn't seem to have made much impact on the accumulations here. Would it not wash away pretty readily?

Mothman

Just travelled from Beaumont Hos (near Santry) to home. Well over 3 hours for a journey that's usually 75mins. Road conditions awful with slush on margins and between lanes holding the surface water.

Was whiteout on arrival at 15:30 at Beaumont with roads conditions deteriorating very quickly. Shower just passed in time. Sleet all the way home though was near settling near Sandyford.

Was thinking for days I wouldn't be making the journey today, but this morning decided to chance it. Was worse than expected this evening and surprised that SC is reporting rain!

I dont think dewpoint can be higher than air temp

munsterlegend

the met eireann radar seems to be totally out of sync, i hope it is anyway!

ETA of Rain in your area... possibly 1 hour or less Unless lugnaquilla is due souteast of you... in which case you might keep sleety snow I think.

jay28

SpitfireIV

My temps seem to be falling back, even just a little bit, 0.1c air and -0.6c dew. The snow shower has passed, gave another sprinkling and now its clear again with some broken cloud. Wind - light N'ly breeze.

Doyler1981

It's what the sensors of the WS2350 are reporting.

northtipp

thanks for the info on upload of pics ill try one see how it goes

jaffa20

OMG!! Just spend 3 hours in traffic for a journey to sandyford that normally takes 10 minutes. How could you do it to me snow!? Not a guard in sight to direct traffic through sandyford/dundrum. The M50 was a mess. So much snow was falling and it was complete slush on the roads.

Heroditas

Snow turned to rain .... the wind is now rising.
The evening has now turned into your typical February Irish evening.

leahyl

Still bone dry here in cork city....sigh...:(

not very confident to be honest...met eireann says we will but can't see anywhere else saying the same like bbc/sky!

just looking at the bbc monthly
outlook..http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/monthly_outlook.shtml
cold month ahead it would appear.

SpitfireIV

Incredibly fine stuff falling out there now, maybe similar to mist, dont know how to describe it, almost like emm.......dust? :rolleyes:
