Isleofman, any sightings of any of the fireworks over the Irish sea last night on the island? Or associated snow?

isle of man

i may have to set my alarm and get up early and head up to the north of the island.
see if i can beat the -9 we had last year.
the temp dropped 4c in about 3mile, dropping in to a hole

Latest NAE doesn't fill me with confidence for my locale.

Think it's gonna be a Wicklow coast and Wexford thing again!

Dunlaoghaire to get a pounding again from midnight?

RobAMerc

lads, from what I remember, the first flashes of lightning started around 1am last night ( in Dublin 14 ) and continued to about 9am a least. Would that be the longest t storm in irish history or is there any such records - I never remember one going on that long before.

Any idea weathercheck if there are any possible cbs in that system heading in, and like last night could it be seen all over Dublin?

I have this feeling that parts of Wicklow, Wexford and Kilkenny could have anything from 6 to 15 inchs of snow come Tuesday. They are gonna get plastered for the next few hours and similiar events will propably happen tomorrow with Louth, Meath and the northern half of Dublin only getting the odd shower every now and then. There needs to be a serious wind shift to the east to break this pattern.

what about south dublin?

Gonzo

South Dublin is bound to do a bit better than meath and north dublin.

-9.3c here now:eek: , compared to a min of -2.1 last night.

I'm in a pronounced valley so im prob getting an extreme mix of frost hollow effect and the blanket of snow dragging temps down.

The thing with frost hollow is that when any winds arrive the temps will probaly equalise.

WolfeIRE

Some very heavy snow moving into NW

yeah it looks to be done here too. the erris peninsula looks to be getting a pasting right now. well, i've had a lot of snow over the last couple of days, so i can't complain:D

WolfeIRE

yes, snow is heading in a sw direction so it will hit NW Mayo only it appears. Donegal will see light snow showers on and off until....well indefintely the way things are going.

As for the potential of snow in Cork City, the latest HIRLAM is still indicating that snow will fall along the south coast tomorrow night. Leahyl and her snow starved Corkonian pals hopefully will see some snow

Got a moderate shower of snow this evening, and now its pretty clear and cold out there. Looking at the radar, there might be a chance of a shower clipping us again later in the night. Dingle peninsula must have gotten plastered today, with the train of showers that passed over it today, i might have to have a closer look tomorrow..
