A quick look back at the set up this day last year:
Anticyclonic SE breeze over Ireland.
Same time, one year later:
Lower pressure over Ireland in classic battleground territory.

Oh well, I knew that anyway.
My general analysis points to increasing chances for snow in the mix, as the low is now occluding out fairly quickly and the more active energy centre will shift over to northeastern France overnight, but with some moisture and circulation left in the dying (and eventually retreating) primary low, temps at all levels will fall a degree or two and this will shift the balance towards snow, not everywhere though, but I would think for the central and western counties this should make snow more likely. Then by late Wednesday, even colder air starts to work into this dying circulation and should add the element of sea effect which will also have mixing issues but as the flow seems to be coming from already-very-cold Scotland, I expect that it will have a pretty good head start to cross the warmish sea and get to the Dublin area still with a good chance to drop snow at least away from the immediate coast. These sea-effect streamers sometimes drag along air warmed up to 4-6 C but can't move it very far past the coast before the land environment chills the column back to 1-2 C, hence you get these situations where it's raining at the coast, sleeting about a mile inland and snowing another mile past that, even without much elevation change.
When you have those dynamics you also have good conditions for thunder and lightning to develop (this for Thursday morning).
Quailty isn't the best as i ripped it off the live feed earlier but here's a copy of the six one forecast from the eagle MTC:)

6 inches & still snowing
lucky thing, feeling ever so jealous, still waiting on that magic moment like Feb 09 when the loveliest of white stuff fell from the sky and snowmen appeared like mushrooms in our estate. Instead we have had the bumpiest, dangerous icerink for the past number of weeks...
still like that its white stuff but it could try harder..lol
Can anyone tell me how far north west the band being discussed will push? will it come as far as North Leitrim do ye think?
Checked out window too and warmer night here, plenty of melt happening and it rained kind of sleetly rain earlier but it melted almost right away.0 -

Note the height. Has been snowing since 9am non stop.
Set up a timelapse last night, will have that for you at the end of all this.
Really looking forward to the timelapse
Send some of the snow to Cork ('cause if Leahyl doesn't get snow soon I fear she may burst) and also some a little to the northeast up to me
Seriously though, I hope things improve for you at that altitude. Are you staying at a lower altiude for another night or is your water still frozen?0 -

We were to stay with rellies down the road but was not possible in the end. We're without water (& therefore heating) & apparently will be for a few days. The snow is drifting so I'm pretty sure the roads are impassable.
On the plus side being a geek means I stocked up for 4 days worth of food & water, bought a gas & electric fire, spare gas bottles, torches & batteries.
I bought 5 buckets which are full of melting snow, perfect for washing dishes, flushing loos etc and the kids have an extra duvet each that I bought.
All on the back of boards forecasting.
The guy down the road who watches RTE for weather is freezing his knackers off.

i had to paddy1 for my sanity:( incessant watching of the lampost was making me hear voices, they were, in mocking tones, telling me it was snowing heavily in tuam:p) i just could not take it anymore
i just hope the snow doesn't try to get me back:(
with that thought in mind, we could be looking back in years to come at the charts for the end of 2009 and into the early days of 2010. here's hoping anyway!!0 -
