    Well the showers are making it to the east coast anyway, Slightly sleety mix here in wexford an hour or so ago. Friend of mine said he had a brief snow shower at same time, he's a small bit further west than me.

    Is there an expectation for showers to band into something more organised than currently? The showers at the moment look inconsequential to me on the radar, country wide.

    Looking at Sat24, there doesn't seem to be anything of note incoming either, just poorly formed small showers.

    Graces7 I increasingly enjoy your posts which are always so delightfully descriptive - weather forum would be a poorer place without your posts mixed in with the maps and chit chat

    It's going to be marginal now and again. Later this afternoon and evening more likely to be snow and overnight you will get some snow.

    3.2 Degrees in Westport. Showers of hail/snow rattling through here in a vicious wind. Not settling. With temp drop later and winds easing I expect more prolonged showers late afternoon in this evening and overnight.
