    That's just the leading edge of the band. Should be heavier stuff following behind that's not visible on radar yet. Here's The Arpege precip chart for 7pm.

    Genuine question and I know I'll probably get eaten alive but here goes. How can you tell it's going to be light snow as opposed to heavy snow fall?

    The cold front is dissipating all the while, so there's not much forcing to cause rising air to form precipitation.

    This still is from the BBC weather forecast.

    A sprinkle at best only and nothing for some.

    You need to add VAT and duty onto that since the 31st of December.

    We shall wait and see what transpires. Nice frost out there again.

    The 15Z ICON Flash has the front dissipating a bit more quickly than earlier runs. Very little of it left as it gets into southern Leinster tomorrow morning. Again, a dusting is what most people can expect.

    -3° in Kildare now with light fog developing. Perfect conditions for accumulating snow

    I’ve a feeling tonight will be like whoever has the precipitation won’t have the ideal temperatures and whoever has the ideal temperatures won’t have the precipitation as usual :rolleyes:

    A slight upgrade in precipitable moisture alright. The ICON Flash going the other way.

    It's a nowcast...

    Actually no fresh frost on the cars, the previous nights frosts have just remained. I'm calling icey rain for me anyway.
    Should have stated, Eastish Galway.

    I can tell that this is going to go the way of the event a few years ago. Lots of virga and a short spell of snow, then rain.
