It's not even fecking cold in Cork, god I hate Dublin.

Not sure why you hate Dublin, has pretty much rained in my location all day and the odd sleety mix for a brief period, now is just constant drizzle, damp, cold and miserable! Not much to be jealous of! Dublin will not see snow today/tonight except for Dublin mountains. Unlikely to see anything tomorrow either and Sundays/Mondays event is looking uncertain at this stage too! The GEM model has been performing pretty well with the current synoptics and is currently showing little/no precip for the time frame when we'll have come better cold prospects! MT even alluded to this (lack of precip) in his forecast this morning! I'm officially calling it a day for snow watch 2012/13!

Looks from the radar south Meath is about to loose its precip altogether. A nice bit of back edge snow. Did the same when the back edge last went over at lunchtime.

Edit heavy now !

This is very marginal folks left Dundalk earlier nothing there came home just 12 miles away in south armagh to an absolute whiteout

sleety/snow mix in Ballymount at the moment

Gonzo

bucketing down with snow now! starting to stick to bits of grass. Unfortunately looks like it wont last long as the edge of the rain/sleet/snow band is almost here. Hopefully it will backtrack south-eastwards soon.

Still raining in Greystones but not as heavy as it was at noon. I can now see Brayhead from the back of the house.

Temps going the right way here now but precip looks like going the wrong way!

You suggested it might intensify later this eve? Where you hear that from. Not far from S Armagh and hoping.

Light Snow at Knock Airport with a tempature of 0 degrees along with Fog. Light Easterly. A real winters day!!

12Z GFS has pushed colder air a bit further west. Out to 36 hours.

Snowing heavily in Slane but it is easing off. It's starting to stick too although it is very wet snow.

Did anyone else see the lady getting a snow ball in the face on sky news while being interviewed.:D:D:D Some serious snow in the UK.
Horrible day all day here in Edenderry. Enjoy the snow whoever get its.

Good News.

The 12z has increased the ppn intensity for this evening and prolonged it well into tomorrow morning. Also it shows it coming back down over the country again, though a weaker affair.
I would expect the ppn to keep going over Dublin this evening and intensify.
The heavier stuff will surely produce snow!

Rest of us, who knows but this Winter has been so bad even snow being reported in the country at all im happy with!!

You there and seeing the snow, because I am close to Knock and don't see any? I suspect it might be an automatic report.

snowgal

was snowing here in Navan but easing off now. Not a chance of it sticking at the mo anyway, damn it! BRING ME MORE!

Torque.ie

Laytown East Meath now wet snow flurry with strong winds, temp dropping no sign of clearing over horizon. Ground sappppped

Gonzo

grass starting to turn white now! which is amazing considering the ground is covered in water.

kingshankly

I hope you're right JS. Temps starting to go the right way here now. 1.6c DP 1.0c, but still mainly rain.

patneve2

temp has now fallen to 2.6...expect it to be at least 2 degrees higher in an hour
