Starting to rotate nicely now. Lads, that system is going to intensify further by the look of things.

A dusting one morning that melted by about 10 o'clock. Some parts of the county had more though.

Yeah?! Jeez, here in Carlow town I had snow for the best part of a week, about 4" fell on the first fall which was then topped up by passing showers over the following days.

Rained here to a while ago, and for the first time in about 3 weeks, it didn't freeze straight away, this prompted me to turn on the car for a temp reading -0.5c.
Sky is foggy looking so might be more rain !!! but calm night out, and if it has to rain before i get ?cms of snow then so be it.. lol

is the next chart due after pubrun??? or sooner? really interested to see what happened the beedy little eye... well more of a Dali type comma, but remaining ever optimistic

Edit: and there is the chart, while i was asking the question lol...timing or what.... mostly or what i know i know...lol

I think the general concensus amoung the pro's was to disregard the BBC's forecast for Ireland as they probably dont put a whole lot of time into forecasting for the Republic, and why would they?

Grandmaster doesn't want snow. He only posts in this thread to try to annoy people.
I'd class him a troll, but that's not for me to decide.

This is getting to exciting now, going to take a break and watch "the hustle" on bbc 1. then i'll be back! Hopefully Owenc will have some good news.

Bad news here is temps are slowly rising, was 1.1c and hour ago, now 2.1c.

Nothing really happenig just sleet infact i don't know really i think its sleet but its cold anyway as snow is still lying... cannot wait to this polar low comes and gives us 15cm that would be great! i would say its snowing up above will check now to see if it is snowing or sleeting was hard to work out as the window was just wet but i seen a bit of sleety drops falling so im assuming it was sleeting.......
