A teensy weensy wind shift to the ENE here atm

Some fairly strong gusts here in Dublin 4. Was in walkinstown at about 3pm. Some light snow at the time. Not expecting much in the way of snow. The temps here fluctuate quite rapidly depending on the direction of ground level breeze.

My guess is this will be snow lotto for most, with alot of unhappy people.

I'll have the laptop on the windowsill as I watch the lamp-post.

First signs of life in the Irish Sea now. Small shower should be making landfall around Portmarnock/Baldoyle in north Dublin shortly. Another passing between Navan and Kells and another in the Irish Sea which formed near the IOM which looks like making landfall between Julianstown and Drogheda. That one is building in both size and intensity. This could be the beginning of a LONG night!

So does that mean us here in navan will see something? Something BIG???

Haven't been able to follow the event fully. But the exciting stuff will happen after midnight when the cold air topples over any residual warm air in the south.

Just to clear something up as there's a few differing reports coming in from Cork

1) It is snowing here (500 feet up) - not sticking yet anyway
2) Its sleet / wet snow in most of hilly Cork
3) Rain / Sleet at sea level

This talk of cold rain is a nonsense!!

Let's hope the radar keeps going as we are about half a degree away from some fun

The "rain" option you gave for part 3 was hardly warm rain was it?:p

Believe me, I want it to snow, but there's nothing more than a hint of sleet, at best, in the city centre.
