Most people will see some level of snow at some point over the weekend. It might only be a bit of a dusting that lasts for a couple of hours, but it'll be there.

Let me guess except for waterford yes???

From AA roadwatch:

Following heavy snowfall, the Wicklow Gap and Sally Gap are impassable. Snow has also been reported around Roundwood, Laragh, Annamoe and Aughrim.

Same in dundrum. Lovely to look at if you dont look at the ground. But depressing when you look down and see it is not sticking.

Early Monday morning seems to be the best bet for the south/south west. Possible second pass early on Tuesday morning too.

Bah we can only look on jealously.

El Ninotorres

Any more models available folks? Is this mix of rain and sleet meant to last or can we expect some decent snow?

Min

The GFS shows snow for over the weekend into Monday.

Here the temperature fell in the rain during the night from 7.3C to 2.4C so there was a lot of cooling going on within the front, now it has warmed up again to 6.9C.

I'm calling sleety rain for Cork for the next few days anyway :pac: but also.....:(
