    Is anyone in Wicklow town? I need to go there later :confused:

    From Bray down to Arklow has had at least an hours snow this morning on top of last nights, I'd say Wicklow Town is a nightmare (that hill at the Grand Hotel).

    A bit of very light snow here now.

    Yea the radar still does my head in, don't understand it.

    I have NW radar and it is very confusing.

    Although did pick up this flurry, threw guts of it over Howth.

    They appear very light behind it too.



    I have a feeling we are in a rain shadow in North Dub for a little while. Sky looks great - radar not too good so far. BB still getting hammered.

    Falling heavily at Annacurra near Aughrim, Co. Wicklow. So heavy in fact that my vain efforts to sweep away snow are laughably futile.

    Ok, those problems with the Dublin radar, does that mean we are not seeing all the precip? Could there be more a lot more snow on way?


    help, panicked mammy here.

    Pretty heavy here Jamie - been snowing since at least 6am when I got up and getting heavier. I advise you to stay put unless it significantly improves later on.

    A mix of both radars is probably the best

    Snowing here for last 10 minutes, light to moderate at times.
