Not looking to good at the moment, precip not really moving eastward and dying slightly also.

RTE weather just said snow on the east coast later, some in the morning & more tomorrow night & Monday

I hope they haven't jinxed it now

Fingers crossed in Wexford, I missed the last batch of snow arriving, and the previous year too.

Have about 6 inches now in Castlebar, some very heavy showers yesterday eve and last night but have only got a few flakes today, not even enought to give a dusting, even when raintoday shows precip over us, it doesnt fall..The LP now to the west wont push inland, precip is just skimming the coast, but as everyone else is saying its a nowcast at this stage, no point in looking at charts...

thats what she said!:p

gets coat and ventures out into the white wilderness........

QUESTION ;

if theres a wind blowing from the west and a wind blowing from the east , what happens ? would it push up to north direction or push down south ?

im in south tipp , so jus wondering which is our best bet to get snow frm ? east or west ?


jus waching rte weather , sounds good for sunday nite and monday :)

Good question, I think the answer is the precip stays in the west and in the Irish sea in the east.
I wish the low pressure off the west coast would decide where it wants to be and go there!
I think the precip in the Irish Sea will move a little west then dive south as it bumps against the low off the west coast. A messy situation.

I think we are really clutching at straws here on the E. Coast. Louth might get a cm or two (ESE winds will be a little stronger there), but south of there will only get a few flakes max. The flow is too slack, most showers will just die before they hit land. Anyways will be interesting to watch the radar in the next few hours.

I'd agree with that, the past 10 pages of this thread are filled with a build up to snow on the east but theres nothing significant at all even if that does reach land tonight so no point in getting everyones hopes up. Connacht is where the action is tonight, East Coast tomorrow and Monday probably

6:30 is looking good for drogheda area but not for Dublin, I'm getting away from this screen for a few hours, if anyone wants me I'll be doing a snow dance outside!

Indeed not one thing or other.
I would imagine the stuff out West has moved onshore as much as it will and will now just drop South skirting coastal fringes
If you live in Dingle it's looking good

Its very breezy here in crossmolina ( North Mayo) at the moment, so do ye guys think we'll get any snow soon or later on?

lucernarian

I didn't expect anything this evening snow-wise in Louth/Dublin but there should be a shower or two moving onto land later tonight, closer to midnight? It won't be significant but it will be something to look forward to at least:pac:

Well for the wee county anyway...

That yoke off the West coast looks big but will it track inland? In Claregalway here so it'd have a bit travel.

Ya you should be seeing some shortly. Keep an eye here to see ppt coming in from the coast http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

It was expected that precipitation would break up. Lighter more scattered snow showers will develope and push onshore as the night goes on. Meanwhile Co Louth should see heavier snowfall as the winds are going Southeasterly giving it an ideal sea track. Dublin IMO will get another 2cm or so. More further North.

sunbabe08

please tell me that stuff thats in galway right now is coming south

foxinsox

Not a single flake of snow...

We will probably see some snow over the next hour. It seems to fizzle out the further inland in comes so I wouldn't expect to see heavy snowfalls.

I was travelling from Galway city towards Tuam today, the further North I went there seemed to be more snow on the ground. Plus they only gritted to roads from the City to Claregalway grrr!

Down to -6c in Dublin Airport at 18.30 :eek:

redsteveireland

The showers in Galway Bay seem to be dying out over the city but slowly but surely pushing inland, I'm only a few miles inland so hoping to see something tonight. From Raintoday.co.uk Headford looks like getting another dumping.
At least a foot of snow over there already.

Think the bet was for the week ending the 27th i.e. starting from next Mon

There's not a hope of us on the east getting snow. Those streamers are dying out before the get near land.

That's always the way. There isn't a lot around the city but in Claregalway it's way deeper. Nothing here as of yet.

Anything for the Kingdom tonight, hasn't snowed all day:(
