No I'm not being pessimistic, it's just we rarely get snow in Waterford City.

i know i was joking! And you're right you don't get snow often in Waterford and if you don't then we most definitely don't in Cork;)!

Chin up. I've just driven back from Dublin and there is white stuff laying on the road between Aughnacloy and Omagh. It's on the way.

I've seen the end of it on tv - but only once! There's seems to be a serious lack of christmas ads this year!! But at the rate the weather is going at the moment we won't need to see the guinness ad to see what a white christmas looks like!:D

Tomorrow

Tomorrow Friday will be a very cold day with frost persisting in places. Many areas will be dry and bright but wintry showers affecting northern coasts will spread further south into Ulster and Connacht during the afternoon and evening giving falls of sleet and snow there. Highest temperatures of only 2 to 5 degrees.

Outlook

It will be cold over the weekend and well into next week with very frosty nights. Some wintry showers at times, but good periods of dry weather also. Friday night will be very cold and frosty with some icy roads. Lowest temperatures zero to -6 C., - coldest over Munster and south Leinster. Some wintry showers of sleet and snow are likely too, mainly in northern half of the country. Saturday will dawn cold and frosty, but sunny spells will soon develop. But a spell of rain will develop over Ulster during the morning, and will push southwards in the afternoon and evening, giving some sleet in places. Some snow is likely later as it clears southwards, this early in the night in most places, especially so on high ground and mountains, but some at lower levels also. Saturday night will be very cold and frosty in its wake, with some icy roads. Some dry clear spells, but some further wintry showers will affect parts of Ulster and Connacht, north Leinster and west Munster, with some further snow in places. Lowest temperatures zero to -5 C. Sunday will be cold, bright and quite breezy, with sunny spells and occasional wintry showers, with these mainly affect the northern half of the country, and also western coastal counties. Very cold and frosty overnight with icy roads. Most places dry but some further wintry showers possible on northern and western coasts. Monday and Tuesday will be very cold days, with frosts early and late. Some sunny spells by day but scattered wintry showers also, with coastal counties of the west and north most at risk.

so this side of the country should see a bit of sneachta before the weekends out:D. though, it looks like we won't be in for a white christmas, but England might be due to a frontal event.
