Dry. Calm. Clear night here in Donegal town. Think it's about -2. Is that big clump of cloud over Scotland heading this way or down the Irish sea to the east coast ????

no irish. as the winds shift to a more ENE direction that will head towards Ulster.

East coast snow sin't even on the radar yet. the irish sea is just cooking it at present

doccy

getting heavy again in greystones

How long should it take roughly? Should be going to bed soon but I can afford a lie in tomorrow so tempted to stay up a while

Bit of a dodgey drive home there on the last stretch:p slipping and sliding on more local roads, a few mm's of snow lying here and it's just starting to snow again, nice lightning display viewed from the m50 on the way back too!

EDIT: Big flash of lightning followed by thunder just there

still 'graupelating in dalkey' (graupel is light hail..it's softer than hail and settles like snow)

Mr Benevolent

Yep, delicous Polish warmer. Just heat but dont boil add cinnamon mixed spice and nutmeg, some sugar and enjoy. Sounds strange I know but it's actually quite nice. The Polish know how to keep warm!!

Nothin in Kilternan/Stepaside yet. But the Thunder is getting closer. Wonder if thundersnow is better than regular snow?

Do you reckon we can forget about for tonight this far north? Need to decide if the bottle of red staring at me needs to be opened or not.

Open it, sure, it needs an hour to breath

Dotsie~tmp

I think we will get some alright. Look at the new streamers forming S. of Isle o Man @1:00am and their direction. http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

Im not too sure, think City Centre may get hit as wind veering almost ENE to E.

Just south of me, i have no idea what will form behind.

patneve2

nice white covering in dalkey...graupel continues...
