These snow showers are very short lived . . . can we expect any persistent snow over the next few hours?

Yes there has only been a small window of clearance for the development over the Irish sea, watch the showers become bigger and intense as the evening and night progresses.

On the dart into town atm, a huge thaw has clearly set in and I can no longer live in denial

The only thing that can cheer me up now is a huge freeze followed by a huge blizzard. 8 inches of snow my arse. Gerry Murphy is a traitor who lied to us all :(:(

My feet that are soaking wet from slush aren't improving my mood much!

I work (when not on boards:D) in a 5th Floor office block in Dublin 4 ,watching it just roll in from a distance.

Lunchtime thaw setting in today!


Quiet a big thaw going on but that said there are ongoing graupel/snow showers and the wind is picking up slowly...

On the bright side Tomohawk we can get the scooters back out soon..

I hate the south! I just wanna make a snow man :P

If the snow sticks in Cork City I'll be happy, heading up there tonight methinks

Not

4 inches in Terenure at 9:30 this morning, dont know what it is doing there now (snow, sleet, hail, rain?) but I see there's been precip over there all morning, that 8 inches was forecast over 36 hours, already half way there, or even closer if that precip this morning has been snow. So I don't think he was too far wrong. May have to dig myself back in there this evening.

ffs i'm waiting over 30mins for Youtube to process my video clip, come on

LookingFor

Snow, maybe some graupal too, in D15. Seems like another short, sharp burst that'll pass soon.

edit - as I type, it's already dying out!

Seems like there's just the odd cloud passing overhead quickly now letting out some stuff.The sky is very fragmented, cloudy, but breaks.

It is, just look at what is falling out of the sky in the showers and you will know!

Remember temps at 3c hide the actual dewpoint and airmass.

Dcully

Argh !!! huge thaw on in Monasterevin,most of the snow is now slush

Eoineo

Heavy, thick graupel in North County Dublin/East Meath. If we get much more it will stick. It's turning to slush as it falls at the moment.

its like the Bahamas here now the sun its out with force and all the snows melting quicker than butter on a hot knife

ManAboutCouch

Nice one - the M2 Buoy DP has dropped to -1.3, from -0.5 an hour ago. There is some pretty cold wet air on it's way to the East.

looking out over sea here in Cork south, lashing rain / sleet.

Where can I find out current temps and watch any dips? We live on a hill with natural springs all around and worried the road will freeze over in places when the temp drops this evening.

DominoDub

From my vantage point I can see a nice wall of precip moving fast over North County Dublin

i think people a clutching at straws here for another GOOD fall of snow in my honest opinion and i hope i am very wrong but it wont happen the best that will happen is maybe a very light dusting

Same thing happened during the last cold spell. There was talk of a 2 day blizzard by people here when in fact it was entirely gone by the end of those two days.
So depressing.
