How long does it normally take to go up online?
I'm torn between being excited and not being excited at all. 90m ASL, 30km inland in North Kildare. Will it be enough.......

Always I have an almost three year old who got his first look at the white stuff falling on Thursday but it didn't settle. Would love to have him see his first proper snow so thats making the rollercoaster soooo much harder this year :)

Don't despair. Our area isn't to turn to snow until 3am ish. The northern half of county Kilkenny which contains the city has a 50/50 chance i'd say.

+0.7c here at 250M near Roundwood. Very close to marginal. The early hours will be interesting.

Are we expecting snow in south Dublin? Rathfarnham area. If so is it likely to stick or will there be rain/sleet beforehand?
Thanks.

... borrowed image from the technical thread, hoping this comes off for us in Loughrea. Any snow > no snow, but dammit, I won't be happy unless we're buried under yards of the stuff 😊

Small chance for Rathfarnham and higher parts of Dublin, highly unlikely to see anything but sleet towards the coast.

Mostly rain/sleet but possible some snow in the higher parts of Rathfarnham.

No looks like Dublin should be okay but will still feel cold tomorrow.

Just in the door...it’s more light drizzle than rain yet. Often these things start off as rain but it’s not particularly cold out either.

Steady rise in Arklow now
1.7 c Dp still -1c

Gorey only 9 miles south of me is up to 4c :eek: wow

No snow likely just rain. Rathfarnham is about 75m ASL with no snow expected under 150m ASL in Dublin according to MT Cranium.

5.6 deg here in Cork right now - meh

That looks so good. I’m near loughrea on galway side too.

Folks - the temps are supposed to rise a bit as the precipitation is arriving in milder air than is currently over the island. This is as forecast, so if you had heard in earlier forecasts that you were getting snow, don't be worried about the temperatures going up a bit.

Danno

Temperatures peaked at 3.8c (mildest for the day at 22:15hrs) Winds have backed more east now (ESE) and increasing rapidly to above 10mph average with gusts of 21mph. Currently 3.6c with 1.0c dewpoint. Expecting drizzle/light rain for an hour or two before turning to sleet and snow.
