True dat, I worry when we get snow, because if we're getting snow the rest of the country must have a few feet of it. :pac:
Just a quick question, is there any reason why we so rarely get snow here compared to just about everywhere else?

I think that Dublin and Wicklow are more exposed and when a North Easterly blows it brings precipitaton to the East (Dunlin) and South East (Wicklow/Wexford). An Eastwind also brings snow to Dublin/Wicklow. I think a North/North-West wind would be better for you.

On the border with East Meath.
A family member rang as they were leaving the castle and said it was snowing so they were heading home.

I wonder will it hit Navan at all now. It appears to be tracking further north. We might catch the back end of it

Where are you? Almost looks like sleet here off the Castletown Road.

Oh holy crap, about twenty minutes ago there were some lovely cumulus clouds gathering over Finglas...
Just checked now, everything has changed!
The whole sky is pink and it looks sooo inclement! Rolling its way to D15!
(Hehe, and it's coming MY way!)

Just heard the callsign for the rescue helicopter Rescue1 which is queued for take off so someone is probably stuck up in the mountains!

Live facing the Dublin Mountains on the foothills, the biggest dirtiest filthy clouds are on the way over the hills, temp has dropped 2 degree's in 15mins. They look like thunder clouds for all the world, already have 4 inches of lying snow here with plenty on the way in the next while.

looks that way but its painfully slow ,

I think our best bet will be when the winds change direction around 9-12 to an easterly flow , hopefully a few showers will bubble up from the Irish sea

Squeaksoutloud

The link on the RTE player doesnt seem to have the weather on it?

Lower avenue rd. Back to grauppel again here now. still pretty persistent.

[edit] lol back to the heavy stuff again. From the looks of it on radar it hasn't even begun to snow in drogheda and it looks like we're getting at least another hour or two of what's coming down now...

-5 in Casement and Oak Park Carlow on the 1600 Met Reports!

lucernarian

The wee system around Louth is not going to track towards Connaught, the upper low will make sure of that if the NAE forecasts are correct.

What's more likely to happen is that this LP is going to head into Meath, in a SW direction, probably missing Dublin, while it decays after it moves over land. It will probably die out around the Westmeath area.
