    Looking at radar, would be expecting more widespread snow reports?

    Definitely a few flakes now here near Moate,but very light.

    Another shower in Kells, this time a bit heavier and sticking.

    That, and the ealier snow report from Trim, makes me believe snow is only happening under the darker sections of red, and nothing at all is happening under the more expansive lighter sections.

    Could be something happening but could be evaporating before reaching ground?

    Therefore it should now be snowing in Athboy, but not yet in Navan.

    Looks like any snow will be heading inland of here, batch moving pretty much straight south.

    it worries me that its raining in donegal! what chance have we down south?! are you near the coast?

    on a more positive note rte radio 1 weather said a lot of snow showers in western areas on sunday!

    Im a few miles from the coast but we get a good bit of snow here usually, theres big hills beside me too so it evens itself out!

    There's uncertainty about the snow happened right now let alone Sunday or Monday. :pac: We are into the nowcasting period now, the radar and satellite are your friends.

    There was a mention in the main bulletin of the cold snap coming to an end in the middle of the week, but Jean Byrne made no such prediction.

    Spitting snow here in NE Co. Galway at the mo, light dusting so far.

    Tomorrow could be very tasty ;).

    We both can stop looking out the window now, it seems to have missed Navan and me and as yet nothing is coming along behind:(

    The ensembles I saw earlier pointed towards a slight increase in temps with some influence from the Atlantic around xmas but then a nose dive in temps again after the 27th.

    Looking beyond Monday at the moment though is just guessing really
