Not all of the precip last night was isolated convective activity. There was a rotation which fizzled out and the showers were banding together around it when they hit the east coast early this morning. I guess the current crop of showers could be described as streamers? I'm not sure if there's a specific enough definition out there.

They are definitely streaming in, but honestly I always thought that a streamer was a prolonged and well defined band that constantly hits an area. Yes, there is a certain streaming in but there are defined gaps between the showers. Trust me, when anybody latches on to a proper streamer, they will know.

But yeah, it clearly is a definition issue

Not

Just had a burst of moderate rain here in south Meath.

Well Iancar29 has made my day. Don't care if it snows or not ever again.

You are correct.A streamer is a shower train,where the same narrow area gets showers borne on the same line along a certain sea track with little gap between,so if you are under the first one,you are going to be under a near continuous spell.
The march sun clearly spreads out the energy creating them though,hence the longer gaps and splodgier area covered.

Big flakes again in lucan

Thargor

Never seen snow this heavy or flakes this big before (Bray).

Gonzo

hasn't snowed here since that big shower at 11.30am fairly sunny and snow totally melted. I think the IOM shadow may have developed which is why im not getting any more snow showers, looking at the radar you can see the clear division from the IOM through Meath and on into the midlands dividing the snow showers over Dublin and Wicklow and the ones further north over Louth.

Bucketing down snow at the Red Cow on Naas Road at the moment...

Serious snow in bray

Heaviest snow shower I've seen in 3 years here in Navan this morning. As soon as the sun came out though, all the lying snow vanished.

Make that 4!

Can see heavier snow curtains falling a matter of nothing more than 5 miles, even less. Literally my house has blue skies over the front garden, clouds over the back garden, darker clouds producing decent snow just abit further North. Catching the edge of it at least, but it's so light, the flakes are actually floating back upwards almost in the breeze.

Hair will be pulled out soon.
