How can Met Eireann get is so wrong! No warning put out for people. Dublin will be chaos. Its just not on really. They are putting people's lives at risk with their crap service.!!

Its gone beyond a joke now

This weather is so marginal that if they had forecast heavy snow, nobody would have gone to work and you'd have the likes of IBEC screaming! They can't win.

It's nature - cannot be predicted with accuracy.

Anyway Met E did forecast snow.

What's it like in Navan at the mo?

The snow turned to sleet and then it all melted away.

severe weather warning issued yesterday. Met said yesterday's respite would not last more than a day. Weather last night gave warning of snow showers, some prolonged & very cold conditions.

Based on this, I changed work plans. - Seems to have held up near exactly as they said.

How much more warning is required??????????

ninebeanrows

Portmarnock says WE WANT MORE!

swingking

Snowing very heavy in Dublin 6W. I has really started to build up

AlphaMike

D1 is still getting heavy snowfalls! Starting to stick to the ground but still a long way to go yet before we can starting dancing!

Traffic will be catastophic later. Start leaving now!
Anyone got a spare bobsleigh?!

ME warning

And from experience of last couple days, it doesn't put many people off anyway.

They damned if they do and it doesn't snow and they're damned if they don't and it does.

This event is so marginal between snow and rain it could and still could go either way.

hawkwing

still pelting down in dundrum,flakes go from big to medium,building up on roads also now.

francosp

Still belting down in D1 but it seems as if its thawing as it hits the ground.

Not sticking, only accumulations on cars etc.

No not sticking, the place is soaking! Coming down quickly enough but still small flakes. You'll have to ask one of the experts if it's expected to continue :pac:

positron

Snowing in city center for a while now - tiny flakes, not stikcing, and i think its turning to rain...

CianRyan

Viability is way down in Tallaght, I can't see large buildings less than 1km away.
Usually you could see them with ease, even the heavy snow in the past few days you could see them.

Mr Benevolent

Sticking even more in Dundrum, alternating between moderate and heavy.

AlphaMike

Snow in D1 is now turning to sleet/rain!

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mothman

Back to rain
A slushy mess!

3/4 of an inch here now, 2 cm in Napoleonic. The prettiest day I've seen in dublin in my year and a half of living in Dublin.

francosp

Smaller flakes now. Think its turning to rain

met.ie three day outlook:

Further occasional wintry showers will affect the north and parts of the west on Friday night, with snowfall on high ground; however, it will be mostly clear elsewhere, with severe or very severe frost setting in widely as northwest winds slacken. Isolated wintry showers will still occur near northern and northwestern coasts on Saturday but the rest of the country will be dry and largely sunny; temperatures will improve a little during the day and winds will be light but it will still feel rather cold. Another hard frost will set in early on Saturday night under clear skies but rain, preceded by sleet or snow, will arrive in the west and southwest later. The mix of rain, sleet and snow will spread to remaining parts of the country during Sunday, with significant snowfall possible in parts of Ulster. A clearance will arrive on Sunday night, with showers affecting northern and western counties, while clearing skies bring frost and possibly ice to other areas as southwest to west winds slacken. Monday next will see wintry showers affecting northern and western coastal counties, outbreaks of rain or sleet in southern counties but mainly dry, bright conditions elsewhere; it will stay rather cold overall but winds should remain light generally. On Monday night, the rain and sleet in the south will clear away but wintry showers will persist in the north and northwest; widespread sharp to severe frost will set in, with a risk of freezing fog patches also.

so no real let up in the cold weather in sight. it really is remarkable stuff that it is staying cold for so long without a milder atlantic incursion. it must be due to the negative north atlantic oscillation and this famous stratospheric warming effect

Still snowing in Killester, hopefully it'll stay snowing for a while
