    It's all over for people right on the coasts.

    Gerry Murphy on the weather just said it there. Changed the forecast to sleet and rain for coastal areas tonight and tomorrow with inland areas having snow.

    That's that then. All over for counties RIGHT on the coast.

    PS: The guy is still a bloody terrible presenter, just doesn't look suited to the role.

    Met Eireann forcast after 9 o'clock news now calling for rain/sleet along east coast itself with snow further inland, similar to predictions here. Did not mention it may turn to snow along coast later on.

    Haven't the guys here being saying the same?? That there would be little or no snow action till tomorrow late morning and afternoon?

    All I know is that we rarely get decent snow or even frost for that matter here but still got a good dosing on Saturday.

    I see it is snowing steadily in the CC.

    I just cannot get my head around the radar for here. Seems to be highly inaccurate

    The precip seemingly passed here but nothing fell

    Still I would forecast that after midweek of this week that the coldness , the bitter coldness at least will be gone. This is extreme stuff and exceptional by any stretch of the imagination. Yes we may get more cold weather for the rest of the Winter but Id nearly stick me neck out and say that after Wednesday or Thursday that the lowest temperature of the Winter will have been reached.IMO FWIW:)

    Think 4c on Thursday and even 6 or 7c on Friday, the weekend may be cold once again but just normal Winter cold snap then as the Atlantic will have warmed some of the Arctic airmass by then.

    Enjoy the next couple of days Id say. Or enjoy the ones after if you hate snow;)

    M2 buoy dewpoint now at +0.4 for midnight, from -0.6 at 2300. Looking like rain/sleet on the east coast in the next few hours?

    sdonn, the front has not reached the coast yet. The snow/hail in Dublin is coming from showery activity as the winds in the upper atmosphere change to an easterly direction, while the surface winds stayed more northerly. As the front arrives, wind direction will turn towards the east and temperatures will start to increase.

    Looking at the 18Z , there is a slight breakdown on Friday but its gets cold again after that and its Friday week before it shows the Atlantic breaking in , but this is way to far in FI to be reliable

    I think we can safely say the ECMWF made a complete bóllocks of the precipitation predictions for overnight, totally failing to show the huge band through the midlands and west at the moment. The HiRLAM got it spot on.

    Just a note on the 06Z SYNOP reports. I see Casement reported 7cm of lying compact or wet snow (in an even layer covering all the ground). Hail shower.
    Dublin had 5cms of the same covering over half the ground. Light to moderate thunderstorm. 1cm new snow fell in the last hour.
    Connaught Airport had a 6cms even layer of dry snow covering all the ground.
    Belmullet had a 2cms even layer of compact or wet snow covering all the ground.

    Cold uppers will set in again this afternoon, so those of you with rain and sleet, expect it to turn back to snow by this evening.

    Conditions at 6am.

    and just to add - remarkable that dublin airport is 10C warmer than this time yesterday (-7 this time yesterday, now +3)
