ok so earthtools tells me it's 144.4 ft . I still don't know if this is higher or lower though ?

Potential remains for a big snow event for the South Sunday into Monday
Marginal but could give some dump of snow
Models say yes, my gut says no

Rest of today would expect the ppn over Dublin to turn increasingly to snow and would be very surprised if there's not lying snow this evening.
Latest models give renewed oomph to the ppn which will help

It's low enough, nothing to strap the oxygen tanks on for.

What would be considered higher ground? I'd be in around 300ft/100m, Clondalkin area.

Its low , actually fairly low ,

High ground would be starting around 150-200 mtrs {492-656 ft}

I think there's just someone on your roof with a bag of these.

Very interesting , the SSW still seems to playing havoc with some model

"Am sure I read that the progression of the MJO has been stalled by it attempting to negotiate a Hadley Cell in the Pacific, not at PC so cant check phase plots.

Again an underlying theme of ghost energy within the tropospheric vortex around the east US presents itself in NWP, again models slow to translate strat. activity.


Once the MJO pulses again taking the lead in the ebb and flow between itself and strat. Then we will see the blocks, GFS with default zonal will not apply"

Until you provide pics, then there's a distinct smell of bull from these posts

Really. I live in Newry but work in North Dublin. There was no snow when I left there this morning. Just got word from Mother in Law, snowing but not sticking as of yet. I work close to Balbriggan but there is no snow where I am. Would like to see pics? Ill post some when I get back to Newry if there is much to see.

Lad that works with me is in Balbriggan and it is pissing it of rain,no snow and that was five minutes ago

MilanPan!c

I've read this thread for hours now and still have no idea if dublin will see any snow from this.

MT's forecast seems to be contradicted as well, on here (his 70% thing).

So anyone able to clarify?

loveisdivine

Heavy rain in Swords all morning. Intermitent sleet but mostly rain.

Such a shame the temps arent better.

It's not heading that direction, but it will gradually weaken during the day.
