Two things I've learned from this week:

1. It NEVER snows during the night (for me anyway), wake up disappointed every time

2. The best/heaviest snow comes from streamers (in Dublin), and not those HUGE areas of percipitation which for some reason never deliver!! Like what happened to that massive thing from Wales last night!?

Ugh anyway roll on the next snow event, whenever that is!

Very light flakes in the wind here at the moment on the North Wexford coast, looks like those showers in the Irish sea are starting to brush the coast.

I think - although i could be wrong? - that that massive thing from Wales dumped its contents on us last night? Well it did in Dublin anyway.

Agreed on #1, every morning i wake up like a kid and nada! Sometimes i ve even been waking up at 3 in the morning for a snow check but to no avail

Streaming showers may be kicking off for North Dub shortly. I expect hail and snow. Not as marginal as last night.

are the winds due to go east at any time?

From what I can see, winds will 'wobble' somewhere between NNE and ENE, so occasionaly, heavier showers should be blown onshore.

kingshankly

there are some serious dark skies coming in over north dublin

Slogger Jogger

-5.5 and clear sky in Aughrim Co. Wicklow.

The winds are so steeply north that the stuff in the bay seems to be brushing along without making much headway. Unless the winds turned more easterly...

The stuff further north though, which is sparking a bit more to the west than earlier streamers could hit more inland in north dublin with the same steep N/NE trajectory. At least that's my amateur thought :P

I know it's winter, but it's gone extremely dark here now in D 20. Any more snow falling?>
