What effect will the colder air now reaching us have on the convective activity over the irish sea? Thats the key IMO. Little doubt that its gonna be cold enough for it but whether we have a few light showers or something more substantial. Thats the question.

Snow or Hail shower every five mins in Greystones but nothing sticking, very frustrating watching it. Hopefully there will be enough precip left for tonight when it gets cooler.

It'll have a good effect on beefing up the showers, definitely more than a few light showers (although some places will do better than others, down to luck really). It's already bubbling up quite nicely and the colder uppers aren;t even here yet. Thunder also likely

Heavy graupel here now.

Convection in the Irish Sea is continually giving rise to precipitation, that's where the intermittent showers are coming from currently.

Heyes

Anymore for dub 6 or should I just enjoy the slush

Thanks roughies. I notice on the sat pic animation the convection seems to be seriously picking up just east of a line between anglesea and IOM(S) Also North of IOM looks good.

I think the "event" is still very much on if you look at the snow crossing the UK at the moment.

Looking out onto Merrion Sq myself. Miserable seeing the trees bare no longer covered in snow.

Hi there experts,
what were the conditions that brought about the big snow in 1982 was it or 1985?

smokin ace

this is a question for the experts out there will it snow down in the south east or is it only dublin going to get it
