I think that chart just show precipitation which in this case is sleet/snow. Open to correction though.

That was me one the other thread - it was raining lightly in Raheny about an hour ago, but not for all that long in the end. I suspect that it may have been the edge of one of those big clouds - given that everyone south of here is reporting snowsnowsnow, I doubt that it's going to all turn into rain.

Lads & Lassies in Wicklow, have you seen the latest radar image?

Where do you get these radar images from? I've searched all over and can't find them. Thanks.

Can see the stars here in Drogheda and I can hear thawing snow dropping from the roofs.

Temps nicely on the slide here now in Waterford, -2.1c DP -3.8c. Looking at the radar there is an outside chance of that precipitation off the Wicklow coast making its way here. This is how we got our snow on Saturday so maybe it could happen again.

thats Raintoday.co.uk - but the premium one only will show you snow ( red). the normal one shows orange which is general precip.

I dunno what is going on with rainradar but it showed a massive snow shower over my area, all we've received is a few flakes, not even a fresh dusting so dunno whats going on with that.

This is just mad. How can it be rain at one coastal location and snow at another only a few miles up the road. Roads and paths all white again here in Bray Seafront. I presume this bodes well for us here in Bray in terms of any showers overnight even before the main event tomorrow.

Bray seems to have been in the bullseye for every stream since Friday and seems to have also been in the bullseye of temperature variences. ie. localise temp and DP at Bray is just right for snowfall while a few miles up the road in Dun Laoghaire or a few miles down the road in Wicklow its falling as rain.

A perfect storm for Bray these last few days. Makes a change. IIRC its been 23 years since Bray had more than a 1 day snow event. ie 1 full day of lying snow. A fair few 'Snows one night, lies on the ground for a day and the kids have a few snowball fights with the 1inch, gone the next day" Even last years big freeze was icy roads and paths for weeks but 1-2inch of lying snow for a day which rapidly became ice again. Whereas a lot of other areas had 5 or 6inches lying for up to 2 weeks.

1987' was the last year Bray had more than an inch or two that lay on the ground for a few days.
