Amazing isnt it! Although looking at the streamer track, I think that might be it for a while at least. Would you agree?

Hands over eyes.. didn't see what Trotter just said....im in my own snow bubble and its going to snow in here all night:P

A little bit of patience could prove dividends for Dublin later when the wind changes direction.
There won't be blizzards breaking out but still it should snow again for the northern half of Dublin sooner or later.

Isn't it obvious what point I'm trying to make? There was actually very small amounts of snow (what's a "fair amount" of snow anyway) with the honourable exception of Waterford and Wexford and he hasn't been saying there will be no snow all week... And the NAE and GFS models got today's precipitation more or less fine! It gave a total amount of about 4 mm for most coastal areas along the Irish Sea at some point or other. It underestimated amounts somewhat for Louth and overestimated it for Dublin city but nothing seriously wrong?

No, your point wasn't obvious. Hence the reason I asked the question again.

Anyway, I thought there was a fair amount of snow today - by Irish standards at least.

It didn't stick as it was so dry (the irony of dew points being too low for once) but a decent amount fell where I was at least.

But sure everyone's definitions for 'good snow' or 'lots of snow' differ.

My key point though is that at one stage the models were showing a VERY dry weekend and this just didn't happen.

I think the southern train has derailed on the last frame of the radar, maybe something in it for the city...

Unless it dies out, which it could! (negativity)

In all fairness I could be snowed in in Dublin, and would still be giving out and looking for more if I thought for a split second there was more snow elsewhere :mad: :mad:

Are the two trains N and S of the IOM merging? I'm getting desperate at this stage.

Quite a few heavy snow squals in Arklow this evening-everything is white.
Last Squeal passed through just now.
There is a streamer that looks like its going to miss here and head towards Gorey for a while.

0.3/-3.7

I'm delighted that this was not a total non event, most People saw some snow and I hope everybody enjoyed the heavy snow in Waterford,
Now with this coming to an end bring on Cheltenham to keep me busy

If there are showers now, there should still be stray showers hitting the east coast even if they are weaker then they were earlier. Also I suspect most Irish Sea showers will have died out soon after midnight. Waterford and south Wexford may have showers till a little later but then it will just be the odd 5 minutes of snow overnight

I hope so..maybe as winds slacken its giving showers a chance to build between Mordor and here.

Straw clutch city!

bray/greystones in line for some heavy showers soon looking at the raidar?

Snow continually spawning over Wexford and heading over Waterford but always dying out before it reaches Cork. Knockmealdown mountains stops most of the precipitation getting through. Really, really frustrating.

Right my laptop is closing on this event for here now! Could be the last we see of the 2012/13 snows!
Now I woke up to 1.5 inches of snow on the car one morning in April of last year, so maybe this month might have a few more arctic surprises waiting for us, and I for one would welcome it after a truly appalling winter(if ya like snow and ice)

None for south Dublin?

Delighted to see Waterford get some sneachta at last - looks like they're still in line for a few more showers. I know someone said yesterday that Lough Neagh didn't have a long enough track to generate showers/streamers. They may not be streamers but looks like Lough Neagh is spouting out a few showers for Monaghan & Clones tonight

Lashing snow south wexford now with blizzard conditions.

The wind alwsys picks up before a shower so all i do is have alook out when i hear thr wind.

Depends on where that streamer goes,its very close.
I have it either just enough over us or to the south over north wexford.
I guess we'll know soon.
Its thin but about 80 miles long so good for an hour or so

ninebeanrows

The northern streamer is getting going, any reports from up there?

aurora 527

Probably there too but I was directing that comment at those who are seeing no snow in north Dublin right now. Anyway the snow won't be heavy but it might give a dusting to places which haven't seen it yet.

Really pouring down in waterford city now. Was driving home from Dublin port to waterford, nice bit of snow in carlow and not much else where until i hit home, proper snow wooho

Super-Rush

I was sitting watching snow shower after snow shower all day out the window but according to the radar there was nothing over Carlow at all.

Rainydays and Rain today are all in sync with whats happening.
