you can watch the latest sky news weather here http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/UK-Weather-Snow-Engulfs-Britain-As-Bitter-Winds-Bring-Arctic-Conditions/Article/201011415841708?lpos=UK_News_Carousel_Region_4&lid=ARTICLE_15841708_UK_Weather%3A_Snow_Engulfs_Britain_As_Bitter_Winds_Bring_Arctic_Conditions she mentions where ireland will get snow this evening. Having watched this the past couple days they've been far wrong, better than met/rte anyways!

Athlone update: Just starting to snow very lightly again. Windspeed has increased a fair bit but it's still very sunny.

Guys don't be put off by the rising temperatures. That's insignificant as there are more showers on the way. The good news is that here on the coast dew points are heading in the right direction. Look at your dew points!

More showers on the way looking nice for the afternoon

Seems to be a pattern immerging... is your town on it yet? pop over to the map thread and mention it.. try and use a town or village already on the map if possible

Its pelting down snow now in Mullingar, snow is around 4 inches thick where I am.

In the town there have been countless cars and lorries sliding off the roads, seems we've been one of the worst towns hit.

Thats the first bit of snow Mullingar has seen this winter. We had four inches last saturday, sunday, 2 inches Monday and hitting 8 inches on the ground now where i am in Dublin, just wondering what your source is for the worst hit town?

Flurrys again in Greystones (has been all morning from about 10.00am on) but no sign of it sticking. Quite annoying.

snow again

Yes exactly.

Air Temp in Ashford hasn't dipped below 4.6°C all morning. DP has been hovering around -0.4°C. Still hopeful of some action later tonight though - it's not getting any higher so I'll be thankful for small mercies.

D.P. has now gone to a daily low in Ashford of -1.8°C - that's in the last hour. Some indication of a bit of a drop.

Hey cherryghost , those photos are great , wish it was like that here !

The sat image doesn't look too shabby to my completely untrained eye as long as DP's and temp stay down. Pls do correct me if I'm wrong.

heavy snow shower in Dunmanway West cork

Nice Stream from the bay about to hit Dublin 2 / 4 now "Will temps be cold ok for snow ?"


***Just started nice Flakes !

Mullingar is a disaster today apparently, roads weren't gritted at all this morning. The County Council seem to have been completely unprepared.

Drop out to Dublin 24 its much the same, hasn't stopped snowing since 3am, thick then light then thick again. Its amazing how one part of Dublin has nothing and the other is at a standstill, crazy country.

Heavy hail and snow here in east Meath. The paths I cleared this morning are already covered.

*eadaoin

Can anyone tell me whats going to happen in Dublin today, are those temps going to drop and give us some snow.

Here in Dundrum at the moment there is still several inches of snow on the ground but it's definitely melting.

It was a siberian nightmare in the city centre this morning, driving hail and completely untreated footpaths made the journey over to college hell! Thank God I bought those wellies on Friday!!!
