It means that the forecast for Dublin Airport issued at 17:00 GMT was for moderate snow showers from 18:00 - 12:00 tomorrow with visibility down between 04:00 - 12:00 tomorrow (heavier stuff)
Normally they put Prob 30 or 40 before these forecasts, but none on this so they are pretty confidant in this forecast.
I just had a look at the 12z 850s and the winds stay NE all the time so Dublin airport should be free from the dreaded Isle Of Man shadow.

Thanks
I was looking at this just now

Should be coming on to the coast here - not prolonged I don't think but risk of heavy snow.

Certainly is a risk. I think some areas could get dumped on again tonight but will be very hit and miss, nothing like last night.

Jaysus, I thought my Bray snow rants were bad enough but Beasterly sounds like he is on a rampage and about to kill someone!!

I was out with the dogs up the field at Bray Head during the 'Big' Shower. Its actually quite bright up there what with the ground in the town reflecting all the streetlights up which then bounce off the flakes all over the place and back down on the blanket of snow on Bray Head. Sorry I digress. Shocked to log back on here and raintoday when I came back to find that Bray had been right under that 'Big' shower rather than just catching the edge like I thought. It was moderately heavy for 15 minutes on Bray Head but looking at the frsh accumulations on dirty snow, it was literally just a dusting measured in millimetres.

4cm in Dalkey???

Anyway, I have to laugh at the West Dublin Rathfarnam etc lads moaning about missing the showers. What? Was 2 foot yesterday not enough for you FFS You don't hear the Wicklow and Arklow lads moaning who are in the IOM Shadow. They are content with their 2 feet!

If you go out to the main page, you can reorder the threads - normally the thread with the latest post is at the top of list - and you can reorder them according to the largest amount of replies or views.

Stickey threads are always at the top of the page, so we can rule those out.

the top three weather-related threads according to the amount of replies are:
3300 replies

Please don't have a go at other posters on thread. They always - ALWAYS - defend themselves when you do that, and it just leads to a whole mess of abuse and bannings and it's nearly christmas. Report the post, but don't gloat about posting it afterwards - another post which can do nothing else but cause trouble.

ME are right, it will be drier tonight on the east coast in general - there wont be a foot of snow dumped all the way down from Dublin to Gorey, but there will be areas that get 5-10 cm is my guess. The probability of this happening is over a wide area, but its not frontal so it wont be as widespread as those maps might imply.

You don't hear much about the lads with three feet in Wicklow and Arklow!;)
But hey, that's a whole other discussion that has nothing to do with the weather!


CARLOW - Tullow reading -9.1c

It could be snowing but the curtains are closed so I'll guess that it's not!

Just drove from Tesco, Clare Hall to Sutton. Light snow at first. The coast in Baldoyle was quite heavy. Sutton Cross was a blur, really strong hail/graupel with very poor visibility. Home 10 mins and it's turned to proper heavy snow. It's replenishing stocks lost to the rain last night

My night has just brightened up.

The lovely Evanne is on RTE doing the sports news. Mods, can you create a loveheart smiley please!????
