Easterly wind here now, could well be some more snowfall in the next two hours.

For posters in the East if you look out toward the Irish Sea there is a very nice vista atm as the sun goes down. The orange glow off the clouds is a nice sight. Very picturesque.

Dublin Airport currently reporting Westerly. Nowhere near an easterly. At least it seems to be helping the temperature drop which is now down to -4.0C after being well below 0 all day.

i keep looking out my window and i think it will pass by to the north unfortunately

Could everyone on Dublin take out their hairdryers and step outside their front door and point their hairdryers in a south westerly direction, and if you could blow a bit at this same, this might help as well! :D:D

EDIT: Make sure the hairdryer is blowing cold and not hot air!

Bouy M2 is not in service. But watching the radar, the circulation is starting to organise itself in the irish sea. It seems to me shes starting to move east.

I do hope so. The latest run 12z seems to be always going back to its mild default settings. This cold spell will last alot longer then forecast.

So it is, just noticed the last reading for it was on 15th of this month.

Just heard that it's snowing now in Leenane in Mayo, lets hope some of those showers push inland a bit.

Been lurking here for quite a while now and as a thank you for all the entertainment provided by all the snow lovers on here and to thank MT for his amazingly accurate forecasts, here's a couple of photos taken today outside Bawnboy in Co Cavan.









Keep it up everybody, this place is fast becoming a bit of an addiction for me!!

Earlier I thought the cell on Down coast would be heading Dundalk direction...looking at it now it looks like the IoM clump may spin this way instead (it also sems to be pulling a bit more moisture in behind it)

Nice photos, should have used the name 'I am WHITE' with that snowfall, enjot it!

Patience is the game lads.

The gradient will slowly edge the easterlies further south.

It is painstaking but we will get our rewards! Maybe!
