Looking at the radar and track it looks like Cork City will get in on a small bit of the action soon if not already. Personally i'm looking at whats going on in Dublin at the moment and if thats track the way it is now, it should hit here in the next few hours.
Temp really has risen here in the last hour or so. Currently temp is -0.4c Dp -1.6c.

I posted this in the other thread and I thought i'd stick it here for posterity:D:

This is a crazy situation, the latest radar and the reports here are suggesting that over the last half hour or so, the bearing of this shower "clump" has changed to a more ENE orientation. Combined with the very slow moving nature of this shower, this is going to simply dump snow all over Dublin city. This is going to blow the amounts from 2001 out of the (frozen) water.


So far there's 3 inches or so on the ground. I'm expecting about 5 or 6 inches widely in Dublin city by tomorrow morning.

Lovely couple of hours of snow in Dublin that dumped about 3-4 inches in my locality. And all from a streamer off the east coast! Looks like there is another one - much smaller though - due in the next hour or so. Can never tell where they're going to hit until they're practically on top of you though. I think we are in for a very interesting few days.

isle of man

we have nowt, clear skys, and i think thats the way its going to stay.

most of the charts have wet air around us from 3 to about 9 am, but i feel it will be to far south to effect us,
and i cant see it appering out of no where

this is almost deja-vu of last winter. Same areas getting the same intense snowfall, Basically Dublin 15 and southwards. We have almost 2 inchs of snow here in Meath, thats same as it was last year but at least this time it didn't take 2 weeks worth of light snow showers for it to build up. I would love to see something more organised attack the entire east coast and most of Leinster giving a more even distribution of snow for us all.

delw

put this in other thread but any ideas what it is

seems to be a fog setting in here & has got frickn freezen(freezen fog by any chance) but is blowing out to the sea ,like very fine crystal particals in the air


low clouds definitly moving back SE flow

force eleven

Latest upate from met Eireann suggests no change next week. So those places starved of snow ie here, won't see much if any. Very cold and frosty though.

Timistry

Just had a quick look at the GFS. The winds seem to be stuck in a NE'ly pattern for the forseeable future. While this is great for the North and east, it offers little prospect of decent snow in the south and west. What conditions would be more condusive for snow in these locations? NW'ly winds?

Edit: GFS showing a breakdown at T+150

-6 was lowest temp here overnight in central Dundalk.

we'll temperature's hit lows of 17.3 In Wales last night!& Ive just seen sky news speaking from dublin city about IMF Bailout and to be honest I think the snow falls in Dublin have been exaggerated as it does not not look that bad @ all.

Not looking like much of a breakdown looking at this chart.We'll have to see if it comes to fruit.

While it might not be as cold at times,overall there's no significantly milder weather on the horizon.

We have at least 2-3 inches here in firhouse from last night on top of 2-3 inches from yesterday. If you were in the weather forums last night and the early hours of this morning you would have seen the "Nowcast"reports on snow levels.
Leave our snow alone!:D:D:D

You have to remember that reporter was in Dublin city centre.

Heat build up and commuters/traffic will melt the snow gradually like in any city.

However Dublin suburbs are a different story

I stayed with the other half last night in Killester - we received about 4 to 5 inches of snow. Its 9.40am and no sign of it melting yet . Just read on the met eireann website that the temperature in the city is still arctic at -7oC.

Simply put, Dublin got a pasting last night

The below animated graph shows the upper air (850hPAs) over Ireland for the next 72hrs. As you can see there will be no improvement in temperatures during this period.

please tell me waterford will get some more snow sky getting little darker

WolfeIRE

There will be some heavy snow showers in Cork and Kerry later this evening and tonight. Accumulations of between 2-5cm are likely. Waterford City should see some snow as a result of this decaying low system.

Do that mean we getting snow in Cork

No. See we are the lost city of Atlantis, and the ancients have a protective dome over us, it has yet to fail. You noticed how snow fell as close as Ballycotton and some deep snow in Kerry ~ this is not a quirk of nature, it's the ancients protective dome over Cork, it has failed briefly two or three times in 55 years.

peasant

A nowcast question ...who's going to see more snow today?



Will those streamers over the Irish Sea hit land again ?

Will that fat band over Scotland eventually make it into Donegal (or Connacht even ?)

Is anything else going to bubble up snowwise?

Cassidy28

very dark, strange looking cloud to the east of north county dublin very close to the coast:D:D
