Is north Kerry in for some snow soon?

It looks like it is, but will Galway/Clare just get it?

Snowing out in Connemara in Galway, has been for sometime by the looks of it.

MT forecast for today.

Tuesday, 21 December, 2010

ALERT for snow, with some areas of heavy snow including some thunder-snow, as well as a few heavy hail showers, in both western and eastern Ireland today, with these areas partially merging across the south later. Amounts will be highly variable as streamers are the main component in the east. Wicklow and north Wexford could continue to get more heavy snow and increase from current 10-15 cms to 25-30 cms or more. Dublin and Meath could increase from 5-10 cms in some parts to 10-20 (less where no cover yet). Inland southeast could start to see 5-10 cms, and south coast about 2-5 cms. Kerry and parts of west Limerick, west Cork, Clare and west Galway could see 5-15 cms, with some mixing to sleet near sea level. In all cases, some thunder-snow possible. Donegal, Mayo and east Ulster are on watch for possible later snow streamers. Also, ALERT for ice fog, widespread icy roads, severe cold in many central counties between the snowfall areas, readings of -12 to -15 C possible, ice fog not dissipating much in valleys.

According to the forecast when should the snow hit Dublin I'm trying to decide if it's wise to go into work or work from home

Currently not snowing in the west of the city, but it did at some point last night, not a lot though.
We might get some more in next few hours, check this...
