Is that 'the system'? I wasn't sure if it was due that early...it's supposed to be hanging around early tomorrow morning.

the start of it anyway it's still touch and go if the temp will be cold enough for snow or rain

Temp in Tallaght has dropped from 0c to -2 in 18 minutes. If tonight happens it will be epic, i barely remember the snow of 81 up here in Tallaght, will this be something along the same lines.

Visability in Snow atm is 30 yards

Should I be getting the hubby to stock up on his way home so? I was a northsider back in '81 ( and a baby ). Now I'm a southsider with a baby so don't want to risk heading out to the shops myself but want to be prepared if I'm housebound for days.:eek:

Snowing very heavy here at the Beacon South Quarter in Sandyford for last 20 mins.

eskimocat

ah, so badly wishing for a massive snowfall in these here parts

( Naturally this comes with the understanding that: 1. the oil tank is full, 2. the fridge & freezer full, 3.the cats in, 4.the hubbys home, 5. my wellys are in the house not the shed, 6. there is plenty bird seed stocked and ready, 7. all the old, infrim and homeless that live around here are all warm, safe and sound, 8. that work is cancelled, 9. the roads are closed, and last but not least 10. snowman building becomes mandatory!

LookingFor

Dying off now in D15. Going by the radar I guess that'll be the last of anything for a little while.

Coming down thick and fast in Dublin 24. Just set up a time-lapse so ill let it run for an hour or two and post it up here when its done. Hopefully we'll see the one or two inches already on the ground turn into 5 or 6

We actually nipped down to the square earlier Nicki, we live up on the hill past thomas davis club and its unbelivable out, 5 inches already on the ground without what ever happens today and tomorrow, wouldn't due any harm to get a few bits in

No it's not right. Rain/sleet tonight - maybe some snow early tomorrow morning in Dublin. Anything that falls after 12pm tomorrow will be snow again though and temperatures will plummet. Temperatures and dew points are going to rise tonight temporarily.

Darkman2 and Weather Check,

Well at the minute its bucketing snow in Tallaght for the last half hour, i wouldn't leave anything to chance.

What are the correct phrases when talking about snow intensity...

Snowing heavily?
Pouring snow?
Lashing now?
