    Good bit of hail here on and off.

    Really piling up.

    Have been getting moderate/heavy graupel in dalkey too for the best part of the last hour with outbreaks of light snow in between. What are your thoughts on the Welsh system as in where is it likely to hit?

    Is that ground or air temperature you're talking about? Are you talking about Dublin or the whole country?

    Love how this comment keeps getting repeated by the uninformed

    Here's a well referenced piece on the possible (non-ideological and politically neutral science best serves society when it allows room for uncertainty) links of the current weather to that issue

    batch off anglesey appears to be breaking up on 15 00 radar update. Do not worry, organized precipitation/shower activity will be continuous throughout the afternoon/evening and will dump more inches

    Had stopped snowing here for the past half hour but just started again and the clouds coming in look very ominous. Judging by the way that Welsh band of percip is moving we could be in very long evening although latest radar shows it breaking up a little which might be just a blip. Any Nth County Dublin folk still in town - I'd hit the road fairly lively

    Never seen snow like this, been snowing non-stop since about 12.30 and theres close to 5 inches now. More than the whole of the last snow event since last night!! Judging by raintoday there is another massive streamer heading for us from England.

    On a serious note, this most recent downfall around D12/D10/D20 is massive, you can't make out the road from the footpath, advice is avoid driving at all costs...

    There are reports of snow on the west of Macroom, but the cloud/snow line is slow to move to the east at the moment, but if there is more wind should start pushing in to the city by around 18:00

    Hmm. Looking at the raintoday radar it looks like the wales blob is already arc-ing and feeding into a stream bearing down on north dublin. Interesting.

    Again i would advice anyone to stay put and don't get into the car. Imo your better off hunkering down at work than risk getting caught out for hours in this one. As for people going out shopping in the car wtf.

    -4 now in Goatstown and it's been snowing for about the last five to six hours non stop.

    Ask anyone from Blanch and Castleknock and they will tell you that the last snowfall in November was very heavy and the one in December/January 2009/10 and the one in 2009. And I am not joking. I will try and insert a few pictures of those events later with dates on them.:D:D:D

    Am staying indoors. Haven't finished my Xmas shopping yet, and judging by what's falling outside, I think some of my family members will have to make do with cash!?
