met eireann don't think the precipitation will make very much in their forecast just there on tv even if it is snow! also showers seem like they will be more coastal in munster! all still seems to be going downhill though gerry murphy did mention the 's' word.

also seems to be a front quite new the south coast on tuesday morning next or is that too far away for the moment?

GFS 12Z: rain turning to snow tonight

The cloud associated with these fronts looks insubstantial next to what hit Scotland. My fingers are crossed but I fear Dublin will see snizzle at best.

the shower potential behind - how is that looking? hoping they'll get south and the atlantic will add some pep to them. we remain hopeful for some snow tomorrow john 1984 and limerick has a good chance.
