Weathercheck do you ever get to sleep brother? I'm only up now because I was out for the night, Couldn't believe when I left the club at 2am and there was snow everywhere. This was on the south east coast at about 2m asl so theres hope for everyone. Keep the eyes open open and the mild dreams away..

Latest Met Eireann forecast issued at 5.10am this morning is a major upgrade. A lot of mentions of the word "snow" and also a few of the word "accumulations". Did not mention any of this last night but this is understandable given the mayhem that we have seen on the weather models over the past few weeks.
Enjoy the read

Today
Wintry showers of rain and sleet in Leinster and Ulster early this morning. Many of these will turn to sleet or snow later this morning and will continue for much of the day. Some dry or bright spells in Munster and Connacht, but scattered showers of rain, hail or sleet also. Very cold with temperatures of 1 to 4 degrees in general and reaching 5 or 6 degrees in the southwest.
Tonight
Very cold tonight with a widespread sharp or severe frost, icy stretches on roads and patches of freezing fog. Most areas dry. However wintry showers of sleet or snow will affect eastern coastal counties of Leinster and Ulster. Lowest temperatures of -4 to 0 degrees
Tomorrow
Very cold on Sunday with frost and fog persisting in places. Further scattered showers of sleet or snow in eastern parts of Leinster and Ulster and possibly east Munster. Rain and sleet will develop in the southwest during the afternoon and will spread over Munster in the evening, turning to snow in many areas. Temperatures of just 1 to 4 degrees.
Outlook
The coming week is going to be very cold with day time temperatures ranging from just 1 to 6 degrees on many of the days. Severe frost and ice will develop at night with temperatures dropping as low as - 6 or -7 degrees in some areas. There'll be sleet and snow at times with significant accumulations possible in places. In these very cold conditions, any snow will lie on the ground.
Sunday night will be cold with rain, sleet and snow moving northeastwards across the country giving some significant accumulations. Lowest temperatures of -2 to +2 degrees.
There'll be further outbreaks of sleet and snow on Monday, but some dry periods too. Temperatures will range from 1 to 4 degrees in general, but will reach 5 or 6 degrees in the southwest. A severe frost and icy patches will develop on Monday night.
Tuesday will be dry in many areas, but scattered sleet and snow showers will develop in many coastal areas. Again, a severe frost will develop at night.
On Wednesday, rain sleet and snow will move eastwards across the country.
Thursday will be brighter with some scattered wintry showers of rain, hail or sleet.
More rain, sleet and snow will move in from the west on Friday.

IMBY temp 2c dew point 1c. When i checked last night it was 3.9c dp 3.2c Tis colder this morning. This is in D4 near the strand. Yesterday was 2.5c for most of the day. If that rain fell as snow it would have been a disaster.
Outlook is good for a MTs cold period prediction. Plenty of cold built up in the UK. If we get a westerly sliding south, we could be back in the history books 0 -
