m2 dp at 0,hope your right Supercell

I may be wrong but I think the M2 DP more comes into play when you have a marginal DP inland and are awaiting on cold to arrive .

I think its safe to say that most areas now have sufficient cold in place

From what I see most places on the coast in Dublin have sub zero dps .

Any how I deffo have it

Tem -2.9

DP -4.5

Still hail/snow falling, getting light now. Big blue flash there with a little boom following about 10 seconds later here in Ballyfermot.

DrEvil

Large flash in booterstown, hopefully something brewing

The last radar image showed this streamer really intensifying

sdanseo

Oh, hail hitting the window! Cant see it on my webcam (cant be clambering over the bed while folks are sleeping) but I can hear it. Waiting for the tyre tracks to dissapear, then I'll be happy.

Thunder and lightening in Templeogue, no sign of anything falling yet tho! Dont think we've had anything here since some sleet/hail at around 6pm yesterday.

That must be so close to me, I'm in Celbridge, but not a single flake
I guess I must be on the very edge of the IOM shadow. Talk about frustraing!

Pete , hate to break it to you but take these images with a big pinch of salt.
I'm in D4, Ringsend, under a deep red and the precip is light tonight. That said its all going orange, maybe the offset is wrong ??

I object! I prefer to call it a 'fondness'. Sure aren't the whole lot of us a bunch of nerds anyway? :pac:

It could well be , although the tracking of the streamer seems to be spot on for me at the moment .
