At this point temp is 0c and dp of -1c in Dublin looks very good , looking very good for precip just now on sky news weather.

My temp in newbridge has dropped too -0.1c and dp to -2.1c.

Tis very exciting ! I should be asleep but can't seem to nod off .

Cornilius

Will the percipitation reach us?It so slow and weak!Is there any chance that the two fronts could combine?

I had a look out the window, thinking to myself 'hah, its hardly snowing!' and to my surprise there is bit of snow, albeit small bits, blowing around in the wind!!

My DP is -0.2 and temp 1.3c!

Light dusting on the ground here, hardly enough to make a snowball,but the roads might be dodgy enough.

DOCARCH

Looking with bated breath at that ppn heading down from the north over Dublin. 0.8c here atm DP -0.7c

Oh - light snow being reported at Mullingar from same ppn.

0.8c now with DP -0.4c

pistolpetes11

Lite snow here in newbridge now temp 0.4 and dp of -0.9

Aldebaran

I'm a couple of miles outside Mullingar and we've got snow on the ground, not much but enough to make me put off heading to college for the next few hours, still snowing lightly too.

pistolpetes11

actually its belting down here now in newbridge !

DOCARCH

I live in hope! But temp now 1.1c DP 0.0c

That band of ppn is moving very slowly eastwards but seems to have a heavier pulse moving down along it (into NI).

Dublin/Wicklow mountains should get snow soon.

On the 0700 radar, Dublin is in a bit of a ppn sandwich with two streaks of heavier ppn - on to the east and one to the west - the one to the west is over Newbridge.

Furp

A small amount of snow on the ground in Navan and very icy some more snowfall starting now.

irish1967

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !! Couple of inches here in Donegal Town. Still Snowing lightly. Main bypass pure white... very little traffic. Took long enough but we finally got it !! Woohooo !!:):):)

still hanging around about 11am , although i dont know how accurate that chart is in the above link,

temp is 0.4c and DP -0.8 , if it stays around that it could be an eventful morning

Indeed - if I get snow here, it will be my fourth day of falling snow! Still have snow on the ground here so already on fourth day of lying snow.

pistolpetes11

here is a pic , still coming down heavy ! Took it on my iPhone so dont know if its any use

Temp and DP still holding

DOCARCH

Great stuff!

1.2c with DP of 0.2c here now........I'll get my coat!

Supercell

That front must be the slowest moving one ever. I'm in dry zone in between. I suppose when I does come over head it will snow for a while.
Temperature here is 0.1°C so its still dripping outside but very slowly, loads of snow still on the ground.

andrewie

Small amount on the ground here in Kells. Lightly snowing also.

embee

Snowed in Ardee overnight, there is a dusting but it's so sparce it hasn't settled under trees etc.

Hope there's more on the way today, but I doubt it.

DOCARCH

Light snow showers being reported now at Dublin AP at 1c/0c.

Bring it on! Going to be very touch and go. 1.3c here now DP 0.3c

Little sleety flakes falling now.

joe316

Supposedly its pelting it down in clane at the mo, why didnt it happen 2 hours ago???

mwrf

Very light snow here in Citywest

DOCARCH

Definitely very light and little snow flakes.

jonny_b

snowing in carlow and sticking, very fine powdery snow, calming down a little now, dont expect it to stay as snow by the looks of things though....

kleefarr

Kilkenny City outskirts

Temperature: 0.8 °C
Dew Point: 0.4 °C

Very fine light snow. There was nothing when I woke up and it's too wet to settle anywhere apart form the cars.

irish1967

Just spoke to a guy who made it through Barnsmore gap no problem...Letterkenny Clear also. Now that makes a change ! Stopped snowing now in Donegal Town.. but sky still looks havy with the white stuff !

Light snow falling here.
0.8c/-0.5c

irish1967

GoldenGreen

Snowing again here.... clouds came in from nowhere. Barely a centimetre though.

Mothman

Hugh clap of thunder
Seem to be 2 or 3 simultaneous lighting flashes and a long long rumble
Light rain 1.9/+0.5C

DOCARCH

That ppn is moving anywhere fast - i.e. not over me! Not sure if I want it now as DP is 0.8c

bennyx_o

Light rain here in the Port.

Mobhi1

At least wind is from NNW rather than E, maybe it'll keep temp, DP from rising too fast near the coast?

Brainz

light snow in clondalkin & leixlip -

Redsunset

temp 1c dp -0.6c.that precip movin slow over me so provided temps stay ok i.ll be gettin snow for a long time:D
