Definitely snowing here now, but nowhere near enough to blanket the ground in a nice white. Only seen that once in me life. Most of it is visibly melting before it hits the ground. Still, you could watch it forever!

Let's have a nice belated Christmas blanket, school being cancelled tomorrow wouldn't break me heart.

Hopefully its just the beginning.

Nothing doing in Craughwell. Temp is 1.2, Dew point is -0.7, but that big lump of precipatory goodness is just hanging to the west, it seems to move slower the more I look at it. Am quitting now and going to bed, hoping to wake up to a blanket of snow so thick that I cant get my car out of the drive. But I wont be holding my breath .

Probably closer to you than I am Mallow. Mallow is in my address so anytime I'm in Tralee and I need to give my address there they always wonder why I've come so far.

Still snowing away here anyway.

Warnings


Weather Warning

Issued at 20 January 2013 - 22:17
Snow
Eastern counties of Ulster and Leinster will experience wintry showers overnight and during Monday. Near the coast the showers will mainly fall as sleet, with any snow quickly melting on the ground. However, further inland, and especially on higher ground, snow will tend to accumulate to depths of 3 to 8cm.

Also, in west Munster, and possibly southern parts of Connacht, rain and sleet will turn to snow inland with accumulations of 5 to 10 cm, and up to 15 cm in the Kerry and Cork mountains.

Valid 22:00 Sunday 20th January to 16:00 Monday 21st January 2013

The snow won't go further east than a certain line in cork! Never seen the likes. Is this front supposed to go south east eventually?

NE according to met eireann

It's very sleet-like now in Connemara, melting as soon as it hits the ground. Feck's sake. I blame the coalition.. and Steve Staunton.

This front is predicted by the 18z to move a tad further East before slipping South tomorrow. Can it stretch the extra 50 miles into Cork City.
If yes it's Bingo, if no it's nothing!!

By the way tomorrow night looks a cert!!

Not that this has anything to do with anything, but hehe, worst map ever wherever you found it. Killarney is where Caherciveen should be, Mullingar has miraculously turned into Athlone (they should be so lucky), and Redcastle, Co Donegal has morphed into the second largest city in Northern Ireland.:p
