Can someone tell me if that wexford blizzard is on it's way up north to dublin??
I'd like an answer!

I really don't see how it could be given the wind direction. We're hoping the wind goes round to north-easterly (as forecast) and blows the showers ashore.

OK people. Been at the Christy Moore gig in Vicar Street.

Can someone bring me up to speed on what’s been happening?

Not a chance, unless it's Wexford on Isle of Man you're talking about!

No.
Dublin is missing out because the airflow is NNE and never went NE as forecasted.

That band of precip out in the Irish Sea associated with the low in the UK seems to be getting better organised, notice how the line of precip is now in a more defined curve even above Anglesey. Getting closer and closer to SE coast.

Have parts of Dublin not received snow tonight ? Nearly sure I was looking at pictures of the M50 Ballymount an hour ago and it was down to one lane from snow cover

CuteOne

Snowing again in North Wexford

So should I just go to bed? No point in waiting for snow in North Dub?

Trogdor

BTW, here are some translations for words used by Irish people to describe wintry weather.

Irish description - translated:

Sleet - rain
Sleet mixed with Snow - Sleet
Light Snow - Sleet
Heavy Snow - Sleet
Blizzard - Light Snow
Whiteout - Moderate Snow
Thundersnow OR 'Jaysus, Tis Bucketing' - Sleet, probably rain

I hope the easties get a Whiteout tonight:p

LOL

And if we do get a Blizzard or a Whiteout ... reported snow depths should be converted according to this chart...

Centimetres - Millimetres
Inches - Centimetres
Feet - Inches

eskimocat

wow ye have managed to add about 700+ posts since i was here last.... and yet none of ye managed to send a huge blizzard to North Leitrim :rolleyes: ah well

From the couple of charts posted that i looked back on, doesn't look like any more for us here, so going to get shut eye, will have to make it to work tomorrow... dang... had a walk outside, starry starry night, frost but not as hard a freeze as other nights...

enjoy the snow ye lucky devils...
