Don't worry the snow will only start falling at EXACTLY 7pm. So you have until that minute to get home and not one second longer...0 -

Nicked from Snowbie over on IWN forum-sorry Snowbie if your on here.;)
18z has just rolled out Fridays charts. Confidence 50%
Snow risk covering the 24hrs for Friday from midnight to midnight from this run.
Snow risk very high in the SW, W, NW and N. (Risk of sleet during morning in SW)
Slight to Moderate risk of snow in the midlands
Slight risk in the east and south.
Troughs increase risk to all areas during Friday.
There is a change since the 18z run on Monday or 24hrs ago.
Friday should have some decent snowfall amount at lower areas of the West, NW and N by the morning time. Upwards of 3 inches in places with higher totals over hills/mtns.
There should be good sunshine at first also but showers continuing by the coasts in these regions. Later during the morning, the first of what appears to be two troughs will push down the western seaboard and the next into the north moving south across the country later.
The western trough was the shallow LP from last night downgraded to a little feature but has a warm core. So after initial showers of snow in the early morning, the precip will be more of sleet and then back to snow as cold air once again filters in from the NW during the evening. This may bring a renewed risk of heavy snow showers to the west and SW.
The northern trough looks fairly active atm. This will bring a belt of heavy snow showers to Ulster and moving south during the afternoon. Accumulation over Ulster with another 3 inches in places but further south the intensity will diminish but a covering in places in Leinster maybe on the cards.
Winds will be NW to N then NW later strong at first decreasing later.
Top temps of -1C to +2C mildest in the south.
A significant wind chill affect will also be evident.
Friday evening and overnight.
Across the midlands, some rouge showers may filter through from time to time with small deposits.
Into the East, SE and south, again the chance of a rouge shower penetrating through later Friday and into the overnight period is possible.
Lowest temps between -1C to -8C coldest in the south midlands and parts of the SE.

The old people are mad - but very wise mad folk. papa smurf seems to snort in the air & can tell the weather from it. A man of the land so can tell you what the days gonna be like - he said last week he smelt it in the air.. i told him to keep poppin those pills..... True enough he was dead bloody right.... we had a huge influx of seagulls today & thats one thing he always said - they no thicks they come in off the sea when bad weather approaches..... so will wait & see if hes right.... but hes lived through all those bad winters so he knows a thing or 2.... wait & see but listen to the woser folk !

The prediction of this heavy snow remains constant. Wonder how deep now it will be since it is a certainty. Id say Sligo will get its worst Friday but again it falls during the day (like it did on Monday 6th December) so dont know will that impact on accumulations or not.
The rest of ye can predict yer own snow but I think Sligo will get 7 to 10cm with very treacherous roads. Inland towns like Tubbercurry and Charlestown could get 12 or 15cm 0 -
