Oooh Stop press !! Sky News says.. it will go east to west and then begin to move northwards... their graphics had me get a dumping from 4am onwards. Looks like another late night !!:)

Really? Do you think we will get much

I see on sky news they are giving out about the met office getting the snow wrong for today, the women had a snow forecast report and on it stamped CANCELLED lol

Snow in Dublin 11 was looking promising last night, really coming down for a while.

But this morning was disappointing, not very cold out at all, a lot of the snow that was on the car has thawed & dripped off. There was a mixture of hail/sleet coming down earlier, but no snow

Any chance there will be a significant drop in temperature and/or a heavy snowfall here later today?

And what do you base this on? Its currently 5c here with a major thaw on, i find it hard to believe it'll be snowing in over an hour.

I'm dubious too I woke up this morning and for the first time in a good week or two I didn't have to switch the heat on first thing. It does not feel like snowy weather

Banduff/Ballyvolane Its light but steady here. everything covered and the kids in the estate are making snowmen already. Small ones at that!

I propose beatings for wrong predictions :P

force eleven

The Eagle has called it on the 12.55 radio forecast. After todays 3-5cm in the south, which will spread north, there won't be much snow next week, it won't exactly be mild, but it will be less cold than last week. An uninspiring forecast for either mild lovers (who want their water back) or cold lovers who want a continuation of the previous week.

Frankly I don't think anyone knows beyond 48 hours where we go....

Come back snow!

This is off topic, but before Christmas at the start of this cold snap the predictions in relation to snow were at least by people to understand weather, it seems in the last week everyone is weighing in with their baseless claims. Kind of makes the forum a bit annoying now although still addictive.

If anyone who isn't known to be a reliable source in this forum wants to put up a snow start time prediction a source/reason would be nice, even if it's your dog barked 10 times, threw up, farted then barked 2 times yesterday exactly 60 mins before the snow started and just did it now again. Seems that a lot of people who never post in here usually (me included) are just ranting and raving when they don't have a clue.

Sorry for being off topic.

The schools will not be oipen Tuesday. INTO arent meeting till tomorrow, Government arent meeting till Tuesday so there is no one to make the decision to open. Many schools are still under heavy snow, many still impassible & many will have ice issues even with the thaw due to night time temp drops.

Spitting rain here in Trim now. Snow starting to thaw. Feck this, wasn't leaving the house thinking it was going to be bad today. I'm off out for a spin, the kids are bored senseless.

Blizzards in Cork, yahooooo

Supercell

Come up to Annamoe, we got more snow than you can make snowmen out of. You might crash your car though, but sure that all adds to the craic

Light rain/sleet here in East Meath. We're about 10 miles from the coast.

Word is ... the schools might be open on Tuesday In fact, the way it's going we'd be lucky to have tomorrow off!

I wish the schools could open. I have so much to do with my classes.

Still snowing heavily here in Cork. The tyre marks from the last car to drive on the road have been covered over but another car has just ruined it by driving out. :mad: When will they learn? :pac:

Snowing again in Waterford, albeit lightly. My back garden is showing a thaw but my front seems still to have as much snow as earlier. I presume it's because the heating vents to the rear of the house?

Anyway, I went out and took some pics of this rare event in my neighbourhood: http://www.flickr.com/photos/43732063@N05/sets/72157623179762296/

PMSL..so true...does my husband farting to the tune of "winter wonderland" count as a source?

This has turned from a weather forum into a hope and pipe dreams forum.

More links from the weather guys pls.

Bishop_Donal

It's just a personal opinion.

To hell with the charts. They didn't show 6 hours of snow here last night either.

Temperature in West dublin is dropping again. Thaw seems to be coming to an end.

It's getting progressively darker also.
