    Absolutely. Don't write this spell off just yet either. Hopefully, the pattern change we have now, will be repeated and enhanced as we go deeper into winter. The southwesterly winds are gone for the moment and it will be difficult for them to re-establish easily.

    Trend seems to be going towards an extended cold spell?

    sorry leahyl :( I think things will improve again. As people keep saying here snow is very hard to predict 3-4 hours out let alone 36 hours out. You will get your snow one way or other.

    Looks pretty much the same up till Sunday, I think beyond that its very unpredictable, not much point looking int too much detail cause there will probably be fairly big changes between now and then.

    Deep Easterly might be able to give you a better analysis :pac:

    Frost very slow to clear as expected, only reluctantly melting in the fields where the sun is shining on it. Will remain frosty in the sheltered parts.

    I wouldn't expect much snow down here really, might see a flurry tonight and if its cold enough might see snow overnight Saturday/Sunday morning but I'd say it would be getting marginal by then. We really need a straight, strong easterly to get any good chance, not a northerly.

    To be honest I expect all the precip in your area to be snow well into next week,I know the area well.
    It's high enough and adjacent to even higher ground and well enough inland.

    The frontal mess thats spreading south saturday night and sunday could well dump a good fresh covering with you.

    The shower you have now is the first one this morning to get inland as far as you and croghan-about 8 miles or so.
    It's been flurries and light snow down here in Arklow all morning but I could see blue sky to the west over croghan.
    I doubt the flurries got much further than coolgreaney as they were flirting with the coast only.
    Expect more light stuff today as it's on the radar heading towards south wicklow and wexford.
    It might not get much further west than you.
