Looks to be heading slightly North on the radar, do you think anything will get as far as Bray?

Latest Met radar suggests Wicklow Town and Bray may get a *bit.

*may be utterly disappointing.

I think it's safe to say that the stuff over Carlow/ Kilkenny is heading for Dublin??

Hardly..its breaking up as it crosses the country..No snow event today for Dublin me thinks

Wertz

Been coming down lighly but steadily in Dundalk now since 9am or so, and is lying.
Thermo was at -2.4 there an hour ago but has gone out to -1.3 a few minutes ago. Looks like front is breaking up even as I type, but also looks like showers following behind.
Fairly impressive covering here considering our lack of convective snow most of the week.

Will there be any thaw in Cork to clear up the roads, looking for a window to get home before it freezes again?

well its 2 degrees now so it will be thawing, however slowly. if they're main roads mostly your using then you'd be ok id say. as i say that then though i heard the overpass for the magic rbout is closed and the south link in general just is not moving. gardai say they cant even count the amount of crashes

Hardly ? We'll see about that the experts seem to disagree.It's due to snow heavy from midday in dublin

I think it was felt that there would be better contributions in an all ireland thread, as everyone would post there rather than sticking to their specific threads. Anyway there are regional message boards which is really where threads like that belong.

Please use this for discussion on the Big Freeze.

Will this front drop anything across the country? Or will it be too light.

This thread is to be used for all parts of Ireland.

I dislike Regional Threads:D;)

Haha not our fault you guys have greatly offended the Snow Gods by voting for spastic gombeens like Healy-Rae/Lowry/Cowen/Cooper-Flynn, et al! Karma has a funny way of coming back to slap you on the ar*e! :D:D

Vain

Raining in Cork city and its freezing on the roads:eek:

Why is the news weather forecast still predicting 5-10cm over most of the country...no snow event...Why dont they look at their own radar shots?

Will be utterly disappointing. That patch coming up from the SW will have to come over the Wicklow sponge mountains. Watch it dissipate before it gets to us.

Slight thaw in Lucan.

toys out of the pram :pac::pac::pac:

I agree with WC , I love seeing the bigger picture , regional threads would disjoint the forum.

Any way in Newbridge Co Kildare

Snowing moderately .

kakee

Even if the threads were seperated to say leinster, munster, ulster, connaught most people will still read all threads. Say if the munster thread was saying nothing about snow etc. I would still have to check the other threads to see if anything was on the way from there to us.

What are you giving out about !

Why do you want snow?

Haven't you got Enda Kenny. He normally provides enough white stuff.

:D:D:D

LookingFor

Was out getting messages. Cloudy, was a few flakes in the air on the way home. Looking at the radar I don't expect much though. Some of the cloud to the west seems to have taken a slight sw->ne track which might brush some of the stuff further west closer to here, but not sure.

Saw some lads clearing snow from the path in front of their house - they had almost exposed the ice underneath, and it was quite a thick layer, I'd say 1-2". Think it would be safer to leave the snow on top, at least it provides some traction!
