    Dublin 6 still nada. Haven't had any precip of any sort since about it got dark. However that means the ground and roads are dry, so if anything does happen here, it should stick, at least breify before it melts away. Not so clear as it was, it has started to cloud over, so at least thats a start to have something that the snow can fall from.

    But the winds are now northerlies at Dublin airport, so I fail to see how much of Dublin can get any more snow from whats bubbling up on the Irish Sea, unless it turns back north easterly.

    looks that way. the cloud formations are isolated so unless they accumulate together we will just get small bursts of snow. imo.

    Here's a question - How can the wind be north westerly when the precip radars are showing precip moving in a south westerly direction :confused::confused:

    Snowing in Malahide :D

    Not very heavy, stopping and starting, but leaving light covering on dry ground. Cars looking a little dusty already.

    There is only one hopefull answer to that and that is that a small shallow low is forming out there.

    @ burkieboy The winds as of 2 mins ago were distinctly light NW about 2 to 5 mph here.Thats not going to blow in showers.
    The only hope is they keep building such that thye are so fat that they fringe the coast.
    They only need to get another 20 miles wider.

    Low level winds and winds above are different. Above they are still NE but are backing.

    Looking at radar, you just want everyone in wales to do a big sneeze this way to blow the showers onshore.

    M2 buoy at 9pm was NE.
    Here there is the tiniest of a NW [don't mind my aws wind thingie-where that is-it wouldnt pick up a breeze that light]

    I can see a massive shower about 10 miles off Arklow linked in to the rest of the streamer,it might fringe the wexford coast on the way down to waterford.

    Please move a tiny bit north as it hits Ireland - it will batter North couty Dublin if it does
