    This showery activity is heading west and north more than what was predicted. For example, a lot of Munster is likely to see some showery activity at some stage as opposed to earlier forecasts of just southern coastal areas of Munster. The band moving to our south now looks like a low and as Rory says above it is one of 3 to our east, south and north.

    If you looks at SAT 24 now, and see 3 low,s spinning around, one south and one north of Ireland and one north east of Scotland, I have never seen that before

    Whats going on? Met eireann says 4c at Dublin airport, I make it around 1c and I'm about 3 miles from the airport? It's certainly not 4c where I am as there is absolutely no thaw in my back garden?
    Any other Dublin readings anyone?
    PS. I should add that my glass house is coated in ice like icing on a cake, if it was 4c as Met Eireann say that would have melted long ago. very puzzling?

    In Kilkenny city at present. Temperature looks to be rising (car said -1 a few minutes ago, versus -4 when I arrived this morning; also, frost that has been sitting on top of cars all morning has suddenly started to disappear).

    Big, ominous looking clouds to the south. They look like they'll dump somthing on us anyway, be it rain, sleet, hail or snow.

    OH is at home in Waterford and says that it's raining and all the frost is gone - a miserable day there now.

    But you're above 600ft more than 5 miles inland surrounded by hills.
    That shouldn't be happening up there.
    Patience.
    It's total hailstones here at the moment.

    Lashing snow up here now.......not sure how long its going to last tho

    Excelent Jay I knew it had to!

    Meanwhile down here :( just 5 miles from you as the crow flies (I can see woodenbridge from here )

    Temps rising steadfastly.
    now 0.4c
    dp is -o.3c but crucially the wet bulb is now hitting zero c.

    I think it's curtains here at sea level for snow now.

    The computer says "no!".

    The http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ radar is showing all rain for that precipitation approaching the south and east as well as the little that has made land. Not looking good, I reckon. :rolleyes:

    Think the sun was intefereing with the Dublin airport thermo.

    Dropped from 4c to 2c in half an hour and coincides with that haze moving over.

    Temp rising here, now at -0.4c, may just scrape a total "ice day" yet, but somehow I doubt it at this stage.

    Light rain in Waterdord now and feeling milder than this morning, all the frost has been washed away, looks like a far more familiar Irish winter.

    Hopefully will see the rain turn to snow when I get up to Kilkenny later.

    Just to remind you that is computer generated,it's not from observations so is often wrong on the precip type.

    You still may still some intensity based snow yet, which can often fall in defiance of the "wrong side of marginal" dewpoints and temps. Hold your faith.

    If southern air is pushing up (which it is) how does that square with talk of -8

    But not your breath :p

    Keeping a close watch on the radar and sat now. If there's any danger of snow, I want to be out of the office early and away before any mayhem.

    It was mental around Sandyford when that last batch of snow arrived last Feb.

    Ok just to summarise.
    This precip so far in south co wicklow is falling as hail here 2 miles from the coast and 162ft asl.

    5 to 8 miles inland to the northwest of Arklow at Aughrim co wicklow and at Conary-both at or above 600ft and it is snowing.
    Temp still rising here 0.6c
    dp 0c

    because the cold air mantains it's grip on most of the rest of the country. also where you have snow fields well inland it should be conducive to very low temperatures- as long as there is no fog.

    Sherkin Island in far south west 3c and Roches Point also 3c.
    How the **** could Dub Airport be 4c?
