    should die out in mayo in early hours of the morning. It will track NE overnight before leaving the extreme NE by this time tomorrow.

    Not speaking to you. :mad:


    :pac:

    I am not really sure Nacho, but my guess would be on\off patchyness over the next 24hrs or so as the front more or less stalls and weakens over the northern half of the country.

    temps will drop as the afternoon progresses inabina and/or during the early stages of precipitation. Prepare for sleet at the beginning and it gets better from there. conditions certainly look favourable for snow at lower levels in east, midlands and ulster from early eve

    Just on the noisy thing last night. I rang ESB this morning & tru enough it was the station... A fault was in 1 thing so another thing kicked in so that they didnt have to cut the power off here. ( I know jack about electricty)

    Back on topic its still dry here, V windy. temp: 4.2 DP .8- so would say rain all the way for the Bray heads today ....

    It's an absolute blizzard here, really bad, snow is sticking, thaw has stopped and temperatures have fallen.

    Looks like we could get more snow than ever at this rate, just very bad conditions, good thing all schools stayed closed in Kilkenny.

    For the last 30 mins, I've been getting what can only be described as a blizzard of wet snow. If only the ground wasn't so wet or the snow turned to the big fluffy stuff.

    Hope anyone inland and at a higher elevation is getting the fuffy stuff.

    Dark, windy and cold here. don't want to sound like an owenc but will the snow hit dundalk? We have no water and no heat so :confused::rolleyes: wouldn't mind a roll in the snow, maybe build an igloo might be warmer.

    I thought you might be getting this snaps, as you're not too far away from here.

    It is pretty heavy, maybe castlebar is getting the fluffy stuff?

    I might have to go for a bit of climb up the Reek, I'd say it's class up there... even half way up there! :)
