What we got is not worth talking about.

Ya can't really expect much more in Waterford City, it's in a really bad location for snow : Too far south for snow from the north, too far west to get much snow from the Irish Sea, too far east to get snow blowing in from the Atlantic, sheltered by Wexford, heated by the sea...etc..

Looking at their interactive forecast it seems only southern England / Wales effected over the weekend - unless they just haven't updated that in a while....

Its the live forecast .

To be honest on there TV forecasts today they said it would come inland but they did not pin point how far .

It is indeed. Surely it can't make it all the way down here, though?
