just caught the side of that heavy bray/greystones shower. More activity in the Irish sea with white squally type showers about 25 km off shore

Looking out over the Irish Sea and Dublin Bay from Glencullen I see a massive mass of cloud and snow coming directly towards Dublin /North Wicklow.

What part of east Galway? Can't see anything snowlike here and i live outside Monivea.

I was over around Loughrea/Craughwell area. Looked like there was plenty falling up around Derrybrien. A few flakes blowing in the wind around Athenry too.

Are these showers not pointless at this stage as they will melt soon after no matter how heavy they are? or will they be heavy enough to stick and accumulate?

Not if we get a proper streamer. They can last for a few hours.

North Dublin is now in the dreaded IOM shadow. God dam you IOM..

Hey, at least you've only got the IOM to shadow you. Try having all of Roscommon, Longford, Cavan, Monaghan, Armagh and Down in the way... :mad:

I'm due to fly home from Amsterdam tonight, landing at 9.30. You reckon I'll be ok? Is there enough snow to close to airport or divert?

More then likely you will be late in

My other half flew this morning and they are 2 and a half hours behind schedule and that will get worse as the day goes on

not enough snow at all to close the airport or divert, at present anyway.

But there may be delays. And not because of snow on the runway.

But because they're built to be safe, planes are highly sensitive to temperatures like this. They need to be turned on and "warmed up" as you would your car on a frosty morning.

For instance if it were 10c outside a plane might be turned on at 6pm, but now needs to be turned on at 4pm, to allow it to adjust and to get rid of false warning lights etc due to the cold.

This will take more time for planes to depart, causing delays, and with maintanance staff focussed here, as well as runway backup, this will also affect arrivals too.

Hence why airports get a bollo**ing in the media for having delays for little snow on the runway. Its not 100percent to do with that at all. There's the stuff such as this going on behind the scenes too, calling in your staff on days off/short notice etc.

Anyway, keeping on topic. I would love a good blanket of the stuff tonight unlikely, but sure :P

Showers on and off all day in Waterford City with some heavy and others of a more graupel nature.The Met Eireann radar is not picking up all the shower activity and i'm using the Netweather.tv version which is proving to be a lot more accurate.
The East facing webcam on my site is picking up the incoming showers nicely one of which is incoming now.
