Well... a band of light / occasionally mod snow is on approach to the capital.......What time does this thread get to 100 pages?

I wonder if snow threads when its snowing in dublin are the most highly trafficed on boards? Seems like it to me, can't think of any other forum or topic that gets as many posts ..maybe if there was a thread about a big match on after hours or something

I really hope we will get something in Hollywoood, west Wicklow and elsewhere tonight, it would correlate with what is nearly a record braking snowfall today in my home town called Roznava in southern Slovakia, where almost a foot and a half(40cm) fell so far today and still going

LEIN

1.5C and falling rapidly.

DP -3.5C

The temp is dropping rapidly now with the approaching rain.

Are you elevated? The airport does have an elevation to it's advantage.

ah forgot about that. Dammit.

I mean it is sleety out, big drops so maybe.. maybe..

South West Laois - can't see anything falling depsite what the radar is showing, but can feel tiny icy specks landing on me. Bitterly cold out though.

A Stinger on the inside of the thigh , just the thing to warm you up ,

I was left with a ball shaped bruise for about a week back in 2010 at the beginning of the good weather :pac::pac::pac:

And yet, still only a yellow warning: https://www.imeteo.sk/vystrahy

Met Éireann would have to invent a whole new colour if that was here.

Still snowing here but melting quicker than it can stick. 0.6c. Dew point 0.0c.

It was snowing (wet) here at 19:50, radar said "no". So in my opinion, radar smadar!

A quick glance at the ME radar and I see that the front has almost finished passing over Athlone, so I went outside to see not a single patch of white stuff.

So all I expect to see here tomorrow morning is frost and black ice!.

I had the same issues with netweather's radar during the last snowy spell in Dublin.

I think it's accurate enough, just that the precipitation overlay is shunted to the East by a bit.

Nothing in portlaoise yet

Couldn't get enough of the Spain photos from tonight I previously posted? Well then, have some more . These ones are taken in a place near Barcelona.

Looks like it's turning to green near Blanch on the latest netweather...

Great photos, but, like, they hurt to look at.

That's what my road looked like in 82

netweather is showing snow above me but there is absolutely nothing falling here.

And the heavier stuff following is breaking up on radar. Doesn't look good at all.
