Anyone out in Tallaght got a lampost they can observe and report back on?

this whole band of precipitation has fallen as snow all the way from the start (here in Tipp), real pity this wasn't a more active front, could have been something special

Gaoth Laidir · 05-02-2018 10:01pm

About 30 tiny flakes od snow now falling in Celbridge now. Still no need for the orange ball yet.

Been snowing light to moderately since about seven, near Clara Offaly, nice covering on grass and cars, about a cm . Roads just wet, might be fun in the morning if this freezes.

Nothing yet.. sky starting to get that orange sort of glow though!

I think the front portion of the front is undergoing some intensification! So perhaps snizzle will transition to light snow for the city peeps soon.

Did it require a lampost or outside light to notice, flurry style or is a falling and covering noticeably?

Keep us lamposted

Just sleet here near Mallow. It's not that heavy but still persistent enough. Should be some lying snow further east anyway.

Oh dear, looks like this is going down the tubes at a rapid rate ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ funny MT is usually pretty spot-on, he predicted 3-5cm for the Dublin Region. Is there something we are missing? Is there a heavier band of precipitation due to come through after the initial front?

Current posts consist of snizzle and grains. Typical, just when we have the correct temperature on the east coast, there is not enough precipitation!!!! Snow chasing in Ireland is truly maddening!!ðŸ‘¿ðŸ‘¿

Went to the shops there. 3.5c when the car started but it had been only parked a few hours so some residual heat. Stable 1.5c for the whole return journey. Malahide.

Also absolutely nothing falling here.

lucernarian · 05-02-2018 10:06pm

It looks like there's a somewhat insignificant warm trough right in front of the heavier stuff. It's shallow and also running into drier air where those rather low dewpoints near the east coast are. Which will kill it off somewhat. I'm told there's still no snow falling in Louth.

The fun and games for the east coast will be a bit later than now, with wind picking up and perhaps even some convergence near the sea. Not sure about central Dublin but I'd say some lying snow will be widespread, 2 cm typically with more on higher ground and further north generally.

Very light snow just started in celbridge about 5 mins ago.....

squarecircles · 05-02-2018 10:07pm

Postcode rosary will be starting imminently.

Gerry Murphys out putting salt on his drive way.

Rock Lesnar · 05-02-2018 10:07pm

Decent snow flakes now here, settling on the car and grass

Mobhi1 · 05-02-2018 10:08pm

I wasn't expecting anything till after 10 , although the radar is saying it snowing now on NetWeather , but it isn't

DAN85 · 05-02-2018 10:08pm

Very light snow in Kilnamanagh

mickger844posts · 05-02-2018 10:09pm

Such marginal conditions here in Waterford City with a Temp of 2.8c DP -0.2c and Wet Bulb 1.6c. When or if the precipitation arrives we might see more favorable temps but as it stands not looking good for a covering.
