Latest radar shows feck all over Wales?

He is actually correct. What will affect us later and tomorrow won't be that precip but it is part of the same system that will affect us. It will pep up over the Irish sea later tonight.

Looks like the snow is moving inland, hope it peters out.

Last time Met Eireann said east Leinster, it hit Kilkenny and down to Waterford.

Heavy snow in D4, I lived in the mountains last few years..it IS heavy!!

it is funny how nature works, this brilliant weather is taking our minds off the ****e our little country is in financially, on another note we are asked to shop local, well, we have no choice but to shop local, and i am glad of that, every cloud has a silver lining, sitting here in front of a roaster of a fire, blizzard outside, i have no christmas shopping done, and i dont care if i do or dont

A lot of the forecasts this morning showed it over Kilkenny and Waterford then pulled it back east, they cant make up their minds, will be very intertesting to see what happens

darkman, you seem to know your stuff so can i ask you to give a quick dummies answer to how these belts of snow just show up over the irish sea? would be interested to find out. cheers

whiteandlight

14minutes ago I posted I'd cleared off 1-2cm off the driveway and snow was still falling. The lads just went for a smoke and didn't believe that I had swept at all! Another 1-2cm on my cleared path in 14mins!!

Maxamber

Just driven Rathdrum to Laragh, Co. Wicklow and it's snowing and sticking: maybe 1-2cm so far? The temperature has come up by 1 degree to -3 or so. Road is pretty much as it was (so be very careful!) but won't be good at all later on if this continues.

Naas Snow !

rc28

A couple of inches now on ground in my part of Meath and still snowing lightly. In City Centre when I left around 6:30 there was quite a bit on the ground. Really dry snow - billows in little clouds behind passing cars like dust!
