true enough, but at least it's for today not two days away. still it's likely to be wrong as you say.

Harps

Bucketing down snow here at the moment, had a good 5cm covering this morning as well!

A bit sleety at the moment but still plenty of big flakes and the fact we're getting this at 2pm is a good sign for proper snow again later on

blooming shannon radar down again:(

Today

Cold this afternoon with sunny spells. Some wintry showers too though, mainly affecting parts of Ulster, Connacht and west Munster, with snow mainly falling over higher ground here. Highest temperatures just 3 to 6 degrees, in a light northwesterly breeze.
Tonight

Turning very cold again tonight with a widespread sharp to severe frost, as well as some mist and fog in places. Most areas dry and clear, but some wintry showers will affect Munster and south Connacht. Lowest temperatures 0 to minus 5 degrees, with little or no wind.


Tomorrow

Starting off mainly dry and clear tomorrow, Saturday, with frost and fog clearing. However a persistent band of rain and sleet will spread from the west during the afternoon and evening, falling as snow in places - giving some accumulations. Another very cold day, with highest temperature 3 to 6 degrees.

Outlook

The current cold spell will continue through Saturday night, Sunday and much of next week. Daytime temperatures will range from about 3 to 7 degrees. There'll be sharp or severe frosts at night with temperatures falling as low as -6 degrees in places. Saturday night will be dry in many areas with clear spells. However there's a risk of sleet and snow in Munster and south Leinster and also near Connacht and Ulster coasts. SUNDAY and MONDAY will each have a good deal of dry weather with sunny spells and light northerly breezes. There'll be some scattered wintry showers of rain, hail, sleet or snow, mainly in coastal counties of the north and west. TUESDAY will start off dry. But outbreaks of rain and sleet along with fresh easterly winds, will develop in the south and gradually spread northwards through the evening and night, possibly falling as snow in places. The rain, sleet and any snow will gradually clear eastwards on WEDNESDAY with brighter weather following.

doesn't exactly look like a major event tomorrow. Very often though the Hirlam is only reliable 6-12 hrs out.

Really heavy snow shower here now.

Saganist

Any chance of Dublin getting a blast of this snow event ?

cherryghost

seems it could be a nationwide event. BBCs lunchtime forecast have stepped up their forecast for saturday night

Vudgie

Relatively clear skies in Dublin's City Centre, pretty mild this afternoon.

I really think that if we see don't see snow in the next few days this winter is a done deal.

I unfortunately have to go out this evening so if Snowmaggedon could wait 24 hours that would be great for me!

rain shower

SeaFields

Light sleet on northside of Cork city at the mo. It after getting fierce dark. Shower could last awhile.

Saganist

Lads,

Where is my snow ?

munsterlegend

that met eireann radar being down again is a right pain...can't even see if there is showery activity approaching. in fairness it always seems to go on the blink at the wrong time.

Could that trough explain the graupel and hail showers that have kicked off in Meath in the last hour or so, combined with a noticable temp drop ?

The showers are getting heavier as time goes on.

Still hasnt stopped since my last post at 1:45! 2 hours of very heavy snow now, not a lot of it sticking on the clear ground but where ever there was snow left over from this morning its getting very thick now. Cant imagine how deep it'll be tomorrow if we get this sort of stuff tonight
