The snow somehow found a way to melt slightly in D5. Facepalm. More to come though!

Still clear here in North Wexford like earlier, clouds still few and far between in the Anglesey shadow. There's a very light dusting of snow sticking on the ground that's been there for a couple of hours that will probably be treacherous come the morning due to the freeze.

Mr.Boots

I thought activity in Irish sea would have picked up a bit by now

More on the way?

Yes. The showers are queuing up in the Irish sea. Gonna be some totals for some by morning.

Hit and miss of course but I expect more snow.

The current coverage outside the gaff:

Looking at the radar, it would appear that the Isle of Man shadow is having an impact - you can see the split and an area where nothing is hitting, which includes Lusk now... at least to my untrained eye anyway, and using a phone app! Though I have found it quite reliable for incoming showers and their duration.

Really hope your right kermit. Brief shower in bray enough for a light dusting so hoping for more by morning

Ditto. Roof starting to get a white dusting but nothing on the roads/paths yet. Its not even graupel though. Still that snow/ice grain sh*te. Wheres me snow flakes as big as dinner plates I keep hearing about!!

I'm starting to get worried that I'll wake in the morning, Open the Velux and pop me head out and exclaim, "FFS, you've got to be kidding me!".....and not in a good way

I think for some posters in Dublin maybe so far missed out narrowly and think nothing much is happening.

When you get one of those intense showers you will quickly realise that's far from reality!

Gaoth is excellent. But if i recall correctly had an anxious couple of hours early on 10th December when he felt the predicted snowfall would only be rain. Then the charts moved from green to red throughout much of the country.

I'm hoping Gaoth is just a bit anxious about it all:)

He has excellent knowledge, but he is not infallible, that said this easterly is a poor one overall in the South East of England given the mouth watering parameters involved. I travel daily from North West London to South West London and the most snow i saw today was an inch near Ealing . Also showers have been brief, very localised and well scattered. Yes, there has been more organised snow to the East and South East of London, but if this was an event to rival February 1991, there would be more than the slight dusting where I live( which is 250 foot above sea level) and where I work. Given the instability, i was expecting 5- 10 cms where I live.
Still if you live in places like Kent and the North East of England you will be happy.

ps: The most impressive thing as i made the commute today was the temperature struggled to get above a zero. That's rare for London.

A narrow corridor of South Dublin also appears to be in a Howth Head shadow.

i would think it would be already formed by the time it hits howth head.

Live near enough to this. It's not proper snow though. A light dusting but if it freezes like this it'll be an issue in the morning

10km north of Kilcock and nothing falling despite Netweather saying otherwise for last 15 minutes!

Gonzo

really hope things pick up here later tonight. I think the IOM shadow is definitely having it's impact here.
