I suggest that Dublin people give up the wait and go out, have a pint, get a life etc. It won't snow tonight. And even if it will, it's better to wake up to a surprise after a nice evening out rather than be disappointed after spending half the night staring at the screen.

That said, I'm outta here for the night.

It's snowing now Lightly, but it's snow

See on raintoday.co.uk that straight line going diagonally across the country(say its over derry and and mayo now) is that going to bring snow to the east? Also whats the craic with that thing making its way towards the country to the left of scotland?!

to answer the second part of your question here's what MT said earlier

From tonight through tomorrow, the main snowfall potential comes from the remnants of what has been a powerful snow-maker over Ulster, but they have sea-effect added to the overall potential of this weak low that is a surface reflection of the polar vortex now moving southwest towards Ireland from Scotland. Although weak in terms of wind and pressure field, we have to be mindful that any disturbance interacting with relatively warm seas in this super-cold air mass has considerable snowfall potential, as the northwest illustrates today.

as for the first question, to me it looks like it might make it to the east, but as we have seen all day, these snow showers diminish greatly by the time they have crossed the country

wish it would just f**k off tbh, sick to death of this weather

and people who dont know how to drive on snow shouldnt be out in it :mad:

and OH drove to sligo to work this morning, hope she gets home

the reason they drivers are not good on snow and ice in this country, may be in the fact, we have not had this weather in years, and alot of us are nervous about it, there are alot of new cars on the road say 3 and less years old, people are nervous of cars going out of control, and even the smallest dent cost hundreds to take care of,
