Snowing heavily again in Waterford City, The previous shower left about 2cm. Looking at the radar i would imagine we will get another 2cm from this shower.

Isle of Man shadow currently covering pretty much all of 90% of Dublin at the moment.

A good example of the dreaded shadow!

Serious snowfall here in Slieverue since around 6:30, hasn't really let up at all. Looks lovely. One dog is loving it, the other lad has seen loads of snow and just wants to relax by the fire :P

Missymoohaa

Still only light flurries in Blesslngton all day, are we ever going to get some of the real stuff (in fairness we usually do)?

Down the road in Baltinglass it's a bloody snowfest since early morning :(

There's literally one report so far of snow over 3 cm. I think Met forecasters were very wide of the mark with the temperature forecasts for today ("wintry showers" my eye) but most of the models were showing low levels of precip and that's pretty much what we got. No one needs to get their knickers in a twist over an overestimation

Em, I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make?

JanuarySnowstor has been saying continually all week that there'd be no snow and that today proved it and that the models were right all along.

I'm just saying that there was snow today (and a fair bit of it too in some places) and that until late Sunday the models were wrong as they were forecasting no real snow (they were wrong from a precipitation point of view - they were spot on with the extent of the cold and when it would arrive).

What part of Wexford?? Town or county??

Will the northern streamer shove south to dublin as winds go more northerly?

I'm stuck right in the IMO shadow. Didn't get much during the day either.:(

Plenty of snow on the far side/ Gap side of the Blessington lakes. A spot of tobogganing in the morning one hopes.

South Kilkenny and east Waterford seems to be the place to be. A 50/1 shot romps home on the eve of Cheltenham :-)

Current situation and Wind Chill temps.



Sadly WeatherCheck , i think ur right , not much left for us in N Dublin .... SE Doing best and N Leinster good tooo...


Went out to walk the dog , paths are very bad already and if it showers during the night they'll be severe for rush hour .

Packing it in for the moment as in the IOM gap.

Only hope now appears to be hoping that the showers to the north drift down later but looking at the model output, winds appear steady for next 6hrs only slowly backing northerly

Just got absolutely swamped in the stuff walking to the shop. This is an unreal amount of snow to fall in 2 hours in feckin tropical Waterford!
There'll be no more lilt ads made here I'll tell ya!

The gfs was forecasting lights snow for a good swathe of the country which is almost exactly what happened. However the intersting bit is at no point did it show anywhere getting heavy ppn which was also correct.
So what has been learnt (something I knew for a long time) is that the gfs ppn charts are highly accurate esp when they come within the 48 hour bracket

The only time that temps get cold enough for snow to settle and the skies completely clear up. Typical Cork.
