Well that's more like it

Showers have been on and off all day. They have been much more frequent in the last hour, so hopefully it is a sign of things to come this evening. ^_^

Took this at 10am looking East over Dublin. It was coming down pretty heavily; looked a lot cooler in real life though.

Yes the showers in Cork are beefing up a bit probably aided by even colder uppers (-12) moving over us this evening. I think we may just keep the showers going down here for a good part of the night and I would think anything that falls from now on will stick. Am confident of seeing a couple of cm's lying down here between now and midnight.

Heavier shower of snow in Carrick-on-Suir now. Flakes are way bigger than earlier and it's sticky.

Not looking forward to the drive home surrounded by morons.

2 decent blizzards in last 30 mins here. everone smiling. only an hour of sunshine left:D:D:D:D

Sunset is at 18:22 this evening so an hour and a half away. Hopefully the streamers will keep going past then like they are forecast until about 10pm and if they do we should start to get some accumulations. We're not going to get any depth until then as the sun is too strong at this time of year when its only passing showers

Heavy snow in warm bright sunshine here, dont think Ive ever seen that before.

This would be the case if you were dealing with sub zero temps over a long night period with the aircraft on the ground , not the cool temps we are enjoying! There is no difficulty with equipment at Dublin airport .

Ok, I'm not arguing with you at all

just initially my post was dismissed as total rubbish, then when i explained further and backed it up with articles it then took a step back to flaws in the article. Which may well be the case. But do you have any articles that specifically say everything to do with pre flight checks for planes in winter is only after night time and no other time of day.

If you can then i will without a doubt retract all i said. I wanna learn from where i went wrong to better inform myself.

I'll stop worrying about my drive home :rolleyes:

Some serious snow showers throughout the day here in Cork. One just passed us by now here in Douglas. I don't want to jinx it, but if more snow showers fall during the night we can expect some impressive coverings in the morning.

White snow coming in from the Irish Sea at Sandymount, it's seems to have hit Dun Laoghaire already

Gonzo · 11-03-2013 5:58pm

had the first beefy shower of the day but it only lasted 60 seconds, hopefully will get a few decent showers after nightfall but ive a feeling it will be the southern half of Leinster that gets all the fun tonight and then just the south-east into the small hours.
