Pretty Heavy in Bray

The snow is teasing us here in West Wicklow

Had a Whatsapp from my brother in Australia this morning saying it was 35C there and they were hearing on the news about this "Beast from the East" hitting western Europe.

Just had a brief snow flurry here in D11 so far this morning but that's all

In a weird way, Galway feels very like a Northern European city today. The dry air feels European (Prague/Berlin/Vienna). Absolutely stunning morning.

Worst meant to hit dublin late today through to Thursday.. yes?

Bit of dandruff in Rathnew/Wicklow. You can see traces of it sticking though as the ground is so cold and dry so if it gets going properly I think it will stick quick enough. Conveniently the kids have a half day for teacher training, so it just needs to wait long enough for me to collect them at lunch time else they'll have to walk as I'm not risking wicklow hills in a rear wheel drive car!

And where would "here" be?

The one time I didn't put it in my post:rolleyes:

South East Wexford 1 mile from the sea.

Think I got the first snow of the day:D and looking out to sea there is more to come!

Heavy snow on commuting to Bray from Wicklow but ground wet. Temps too high to stick? Disappointing 😯

From a practicial point of view I wonder are we going to see a Red warning for Thurs&Fri , looks possible at the moment

None down the road in kilcullen.

Have a doc appointment with the little fella at 11. So ye can keep it til then. (Last time he needed a doc was when we were preparing for Ophelia. He obviously has a sense of drama)

Didn't last too long but a nice starter all the same.

Anyone else worried about this NE flow, needs to go more Easterly or all the lovely showers are missing landfall.

Starting to settle near Greystones, but easing off again now.

Are pics allowed? click to zoom, NO QUOTING PLEASE

I'm supposed to be going to a football match tonight in north Dublin (Bohs v Derry, in Phibsboro), KO is 7.45. Am I right in saying there's a decent chance it could be cancelled? Considering the long trip the Derry team/fans have to make they'll likely be under pressure to make a call early.

Thanks for all the info in this thread, been a fascinating read!

Had a very light flurry in Dublin 1 just before 9 this morning. Almost like a test run! I hope the heavy stuff waits till after the rush hour commute back home. I can't get over the amount of people I've talked to that have said there won't be any snow.

It's looking like a red warning for the majority of Leinster and Munster for Friday.

It looks like it will be issued tomorrow morning. I wonder what time Thursday it will come into effect for.

Lovely dusty stuff blowing about now again near Arklow

Ground wet though!

This was Sandymount Strand just before sunrise this morning, the cloudscape was really picking up but the chill was quite cutting, seagulls and other birds staying as close to the coast as possible. Can't wait to get out taking pictures in the proper stuff!

Some light dandruff type flurries in Lucan at the moment. Ground is dry so it is sticking.

-2C at 8am in Limerick. 0C at 9am.

Glorious day

Flurries in Naas at the mo. Skies still very grey!

That will be the interesting part for schools and places of work , one good size shower on bone dry roads and you could have travel issues straight away , thats even possible tomorrow i guess.
*Im only looking from a Cork city perspective here.

We await for the terror...

I know mainly the east is to be affected but thought I would add that it is such a nice day for Galway. We are constantly hit with icy winds, but today there is no wind and even though it's -2 it is still and fresh.
