if those on the east liked what they saw on the 1030 radar, they will love what they see on the 1045.

If we're all honest with ourselves, we can all admit that we're a one county country

Noffles

Are you heading for a dumping!!?

pelting down here at the moment and it would blind you in the wind when you face into it!
total white out topping up the couple of inches already there nicely!

Some of the snowflakes falling here are massive - bigger than a £2 coin

It really looks like the NE wind is taking hold (the one we were supposed to have last night) on the other side of the Irish Sea - if that big streamer in the Irish Sea keeps extending nortwards as it is, I would say it will get blown onto the east coast later.

I am sitting here looking at blue skies and still not a flake, went for a drive earlier and could see all the snow clouds sitting a few miles away.

Very frustrating, am not going to look at any more charts either!

Oh I like that chart. Would surely see some snow in Waterford if that came off, right? :pac: Hope the HIRLAM is right here...haven't seen a flake yet!

IF HIRLAM had been right this week we'd already be snowed in :mad:
Like me you know it won't happen

Place whiter than ever in West Dublin...1cm now on top of the 4 or 5 we have plus compacted ice!!!:D

Mental Mickey

Fairly hefty snow showers in Ballyfermot. And it's sticking.

Look at that over Belfast , hopefully thats going to come on down and give us a good coating !

Latest updates suggest increased activity with that trough over Northeast England earlier obviously having an effect on the Irish sea.

Fairly heavy snow in D 15 at the moment

I'm just off McKee Avenue. Has been a nightmare to walk on for the best part of a week now.

Did enjoy the snow though

Turned to more of a sleet towards the end. Got cold again and just looks like the same icy conditions outside. Sun is actually shining here now.

Missed one streamer to my west so this one to my east better move over!

francosp

Nothing as yet in the CC, however the clouds are fairly thick looking..

I dunno about that, the only time I've seen it show precip over Waterford was for very light snow Monday night but in the end it died out before getting that far south.

Fingers crossed we get something from this in the afternoon...

ninebeanrows

There should be snow along much of the East coast barring a disaster, a few cm's coverage likely.

Looking at this chart, it looks like it will snow in Waterford today, not.
