I think it was just the initial burst - if its not raining here you can be sure it won't there!

Ok so there's no bookings left on the trains. Given what met and MT C are forecasting for tonight and next 24 hours, if school is closed for christmas then should I go tonight for Ballina and stay in a hotel in Longford or somewhere tonight where I'll be further from the snow?? And continue the journey tomorrow?

Started raining here. Then it stopped completely. And now it's back to snow

Huge delays coming out of Chapelizod due to vehicles getting stuck going up hill to take exit onto N4. Gardaí on scene.
On 67 at base of the exit ramp waiting to go onto N4 with a van in front of us sliding back down the ramp.
Journey time almost 3 hours. Still counting...

Graupel here now - not the dry stuff of earlier but wetter stuff. No rain atm. But I think we are on the margins. Inland should be fine though.

MT's UPDATE _ Tuesday, 6 p.m.
_______________________

The large-scale forecast remains valid ... here are some updated details.

The heavy snowfall ALERT remains in place for Dublin, Wicklow and parts of MEATH and is extended to significant snow in Kildare, Carlow, Wexford and possibly parts of Louth, Laois, Tipps, Kilkenny, Waterford. Further snowfall amounts now into Wednesday (and possibly Thursday in some cases) could easily double existing snowfalls, and bring additional 20-40 cms of snow to some parts of this region. For the counties being added to the alert, new amounts of 5-15 cms likely and 10-20 cms possible. Coverage may not be complete with gaps in the snowfall as it moves further inland. Some flurries may develop further inland and in parts of Ulster where 2-5 cms could fall in some eastern counties eventually.

Meanwhile, the southwest (mainly inland Kerry and west Cork) may continue to see a few more centimetres of snow but this area is slowly degrading and seems likely to pull out to sea (southeastward) fairly soon -- city of Cork may escape this snowfall -- but eventually there could be further activity from the eastern source spreading that way in the next 36 hours, amounts likely to be small.

Most other parts of the existing forecast still valid, my thoughts on Christmas Day and the two or three days afterwards have not really changed and I honestly don't think the models have that much of a handle on the situation yet, so I am reluctant to keep changing with them until I see better indications of a real trend. It makes sense to me that temperatures would rise at least slightly for 2-4 days some time between Christmas and New Years Eve then fall back in the new year with renewed blocking and the additional influence of very cold air masses moving west through northern Europe. The chances of a very significant thaw and even flooding have to be considered but I'm not ready to declare this "on" at this time.

Watch for further updates as required.

Is anyone in Wexford seeing snow yet?

What are our chances of more? I'm down near Duncannon/Hook Head. Will any snow clouds reach this far?

I dont really know how to read charts etc. so need someone to spell it out for me please.
