gone cloudy in trim but nothing falling out of them yet

Slane here, had planned for xmas shopping in belfast this evening, in 2 minds whether to venture up or not, considering the forecast they have for the weekend, I may not get another chance.

Wish me luck

I was hoping to leave Derry for Navan now. Travelling through Tyrone Monaghan and Louth - what are the roads like on the A5 and the N2 does anybody know???

Nothing happening south of the border Louth/Meath as of yet. Cloudy alright but nothing falling. I'm going to opposite way.

Heres the radar now, seems to have disappeared.

it will be back shortly. Sometimes happens. Their dub airport radar must have not registered at 5. God help anyone on inbound flights

Probably just a glitch.

The met radar is really bad it keeps missing out radar stations, on that frame it looks like the shannon dish is the only one working

I would love to see another snowfall here in dublin this evening.It would be lovely to look out on, or go for a walk in it. sigh.. I think if I wish hard enough it could well happen,:)

Wasn't even born, let alone thought of in 82. But from what i've heard about it it sounds epic. I would love to experience something like that. It would be so cool. Just need to stock on supplies first

I wonder is this how I came about - born in '83:D

so where is this percipitaion then? Radar showing action but as of yet no reports?

Looks like the midlands and southeast should prepare for oncoming snow!

Unfortunately looks like it will just evade here to the south of all places!

From watching Frances Wilson there on Sky News it looks like the main snow will be in the north and west.....fecks sake!:mad:!!!

The way them showers are growing don't loose faith just yet

Rougies

Hold on now a second. How the hell are these showers growing as they push inland? This wasn't meant to happen! Anyone care for an explaination?

Or is it just the radar picking them up better as they move closer to it?

Not that I'm complaining

Who the hell do you think i am?!:D No no afraid no fine dining for me tonight!

Had a look at netweather's precip charts for tonight and tomorrow night, they look pretty good for some sort of snow pretty much everywhere don't they?

(this is from a person who didn't look at weather charts before this week so very very much a learner)

Hello eveyone, I've been reading all the post the last few days, Thanks very much for all the info!!! It has just started to snow here in north Longford woohoo!!!!

nacho libre

still snowing lightly. is there going to be a bit more pep in this or is this simply the calm before the blizzards tomorrow night;)

maquiladora

I wonder is that band of snow moving south what the GFS is hinting at here for later tonight?
