It is a bit faster but is making very slow progress, what we think 4-5 hours until it gets to Dublin border?

difficult to say right now. First let's see if the front breaks up through the midlands on it's way to Meath/Dublin/Kildare as is modeled by many of the models. This is very much a nowcast.

Ground temps have little to do with it.
It's already snowing near Newmarket

Macroom 3.6c for example ,well inland

Heavy snow imminent for Cork.
Expect a couple of cms between 6 and 9PM across the city though as always higher ground suits best

I wonder if a lot of people are going to be caught unexpected if snow does hit?? I hope it does I won't sleep tonight watching the window

I must hope southern Leitrim gets a good snowfall ah inch is all I'm asking for haha, just to walk on the snow I love that

Winter wonderland near Westport, but snow is very light now with poor accumulations. That low is pretty weak (996 hPa) and moving away ESE fast, deepening a little to around 991 hPa in central England soon. However, chances are that there'll be a few 'noticeable' falls of the rare stuff here and there, as Clifden has proven.

I wonder is that associated with the front? On meteociel it has Cork Airport at 5.30pm at 2c and -2 dp. I have a few thermometers here that usually line up well with the Airport and they suggest its now 1c.

Steady as she goes.

A secondary band incoming around 7. Looks a little more intense. Fingers crossed.

Pangea

Radar showing invisible precipitation here in SW Donegal aswell. It's a winter Wonderland here too and it's all sparkling now temperatures low again.
I think it's the first snow day here since probably 2014, snow that actually lasted all day.

The airport is 500ft above sea level
Some parts of Cork City are also high
The temp at Macroom at 3c wouldn't be great for snow
It is dropping slowly though
Middleton is worse at almost 4c just 15 mins ago

Coming down heavy in south Mayo

latest models look a bit more promising for Meath/Dublin/Kildare compared to last night. (last time I checked).

Hirlam has the front making intact and even several hours of precipitation in the morning through Meath and Dublin before clearing into the Irish sea.



Icon has decided to join the party and finally showing a dusting for eastern areas and more in the morning.



Arpege similar


This is certainly crossing the country earlier than anticipated. Could be snow in Meath/Dublin as early as 1am.

Snowing in North Cork now for about 20min

pad199207

Temperature holding steady here in Kildare at 1°c. We wait..

typhoony

snowing here just east of Gort, Co. Galway and 0.5c which is good news for the rest of the country as we rarely see snow coming in from the West

ninebeanrows

An extra few hours chilling in the east may assist in making the snow fluffier and accumulate more readily with no wastage to melting

konman

light snow after now after nearly 90 minutes of radar showing precipitation but nothing falling. 5 km south of Tuam.

Meteorite58

Had 4.8mm with some slushy snow on the car roof, bit of a clearance now with some nice cloud structures looking NW from here near the Kerry coast

1.3C

Pic 10 mins ago, bit blurry, handheld

So my friends in Dublin are wondering if they will get much snow, what's the latest models suggesting

That’s just too cold for snow
