Very unlikely that it will make it that far inland.

It's disappointing, but as the wind direction continues to take a more meaningful easterly direction there will be the ongoing risk of a shower or two hitting places along the east coast Dublin northwards. A centimetre or so may still fall tonight, but you'd barely notice it in comparison to what fell a couple of weeks back.


I wish there were a couple of posters from Connemara here, I'd love to know what's going on over in west Galway with all that snow!

Here in Westport there has been feck all - despite the radars showing a lot of precip - it may be being dumped on the mountains before it gets here, mace head reported some lately.

In fairness , the amounts that fell in west have generally been tiny compared to what the east got a couple of weeks ago. I mean under 15cm is really not disruptive. It took 16 inches to totally shut Wexford down.

Tiny? Youre having a laugh 11 inches is not tiny ,now you are just showboating. It said on BBC there was 2 feet in parts of the North.
2 inches of snow can be disruptive, depends on the situation and the roads.

Been snowing in Carraroe for a good few hours now. Plenty of snow and if that lp off the West coast decides to move inland well then most of Galway and Calre should get more snow.

The east/se got loads at the end of november/start of dec, the west/nw/north got loads in the last few days. It's not a competition:)

don't forget the lack of salt, sligo roads have generally been much better gritted than doengal ones.

how much do you have on the ground now?

Storm 10

Cant understand how that snow came so close to Galway and then retreated back West and North, is it caused by the circulation of the low pressure or is there a chance it will come back in again. Gutted :(

Pangea

No snow here today.
Roads are very bad here, Main roads are not gritted ,What a mess by the NRA.

Guys, I know you hate this type of question, as its just plain irritating coming from all over the place, but I have looked at all the charts and I simply dont have the experience to figure out if Limerick is actually going to get snow at all over the next two days.

Can someone who is a little more up to date on this please tell me, are we doomed to receive nothing?

gally74

yep the nra have really got it wrong,

they were well warned last winter,

they keep putting out a thaw is coming, typical irish, what chart are they looking at,

Just watched the radar loop there. That's very harsh alright! You'd be guranteed that shower to have moved over you if it was rain.
