    I don't like what the radar has in store for the Pale. SFA in comparison to what Northern Ireland has seen today. A lot of the rain's intensity has been used up and as the LP starts to move south, the fronts will lose some of the strong temperature gradient that has been feeding them. The M2 buoy which is about 40 km to the east of Howth is reporting only 3.9 degrees now. In good news, over the next hour or so any precipitation that falls, will fall as snow.

    Also, flickering of lights has been duly noted in college.

    What's causing the lights to go funny? The TV went to standby mode 4 times in the last hour at the same time as the lights were mad. I thought I had a poltergeist!

    Lights were flickering here earlier (about 30-40min ago) but are back to normal now. It's starting to rain so the snow is melting, yay.

    It's a bit like the Day After Tomorrow!

    Lights flickering (not mine though), Man Utd playing (they were playing Celtic in that film :p) and snow!

    And I can report lights flickering in Maynooth as well. I can understand it in one place, but right across Leinster seems a bit odd.

    2.5C, cold rain, occasional stiff breeze. Miserable night, in other words, but nothing remarkable.

    Wind really becoming a feature here now. Sounds quite frightening outside with a high pitched whistling going on.

    It is an odd one Nacho. Unless I just an not noticing it but nothing here, yet just a mile on the other side of town it is supposed to be mad.

    It is so wet here in d16. Wind has picked up but it has been heavy rain for the last hour. Not very likely for any potential snow to stick even if it does come.

    National Grid must be misbehaving. It appears the radar images for Northern Ireland have perked up, so I'm a little more confident that snow is on its way here too. But I really want to see that LP moving off our coast! Unless the surface LP starts moving due east, much of the snow will be for Carlow/Kildare/Kilkenny even if it tracks east a bit more. The precipitation in Northern Ireland is the one to watch for north Leinster.

    No pics but its just very heavy and with the wind its blowing it off roofs and around from the ground and creating like dust storms of snow, about 3 inches inches fell in the last while.
    Living on high ground exposed to the north west isn't helping matters....
