I’ll hold back , I suppose I might get a dusting !

Anyone able to comment on the prospect of snow in south Cavan about 100 above sea level.

Can anyone hazard a guess as to why Galway is not included in any warning? Left out accidentally or is it likely we wont see much shower activity?

Well if it doesn't snow in knock the rest of us have no chance? When is the colder air expected to be down over all the country? Looks to be plenty showers for Munster despite the forecast this morning.

Galway missing is an error.

Nice short but heavy hail shower gave the place a nice covering here in West Clare.

Nothing much new in the 5pm TAF's, sleet still only for DUB/ORK/SNN, Knock has exclusively snow until 4pm tomorrow.

Longing

Snowing in North Cavan. Not wet really fluffy snow.

konman

Snowing in Ballindine, co. Mayo

Nearly every county in Ireland is mentioned in the warning except Tipperary. I beginning to think the snow gods have forgotten about us here in Tipp. Temperatures have really dropped here now so a covering of hard frost looks on the cards for tomorrow morning.

Dew point at 1.1 at Dublin airport and the temperatures falling, some showers heading this way, could be a bit of sleet around Dublin in the next while... And then this fourm will go into meltdown! If so see you all on the other side
