So “beast from the east 2.0” now has potential for 2-5cm of snow... Sensationalist headlines strike again.

Still snowing here in saggart but barely sticking at all.

That's probably your issue though for reading and choosing to believe those sensationalist headlines from the Mirror, Sun and other click hungry sites.
I haven't seen too many outside those sort of sites reference a BFTE

Certainly some similarity to the dynamics of the Jan 1982 snowfall event in play here.

Ive just got off whatsapp to my friends after MT's post. Goosebumps.
Ever feel like the stars have just alligned? GL, MT and Met Eir all in agreement, full steam ahead folks!!!!

Also does Iancar not get involved in snow events? I loved reading his storm/thunder updates

And cavan in that sense as well, I'm in Carrick on Shannon and I've had a few flurries that's all, even Longford getting some too

Ah jaysus I’m all over the place now. I don’t know whether to be reading threads, looking out the window at lampposts, refreshing radar data, getting upset about an Easterly that hasn’t brought snow, wondering whether tomorrow might bring the odd streamer or getting super excited about possible snow event from Thurs. Now GL of all people has suggested the possibility of 24hrs continuous snow later in the week & MT mentions 24-36 hour event in the same post as possible comparison to 1982 set-up. But then that could all go pear shaped by the morning & everyone’s upset with everyone again. I need some sleep!!!

Snow from now on will be more likely to settle. Temperatures generally have another degree or so to fall before sunrise.

A very cold day tomorrow with temperatures generally 0 to 2c. Snow more likely to settle with time.

Snow showers on and off in the east and parts of the south for the rest of the night. Some pushing well inland.

Night all.

Love the Scottish accent. Those who speak it always sound like they are just about going to nut you one.

Edinburgh accent a lot "softer" than a Glaswegian one :P

Temperatures could fall that low over some higher ground areas like mountains. This is most likely what it's picking up as them areas do have alot of mountains.

A low temperature warning may be issued for Tuesday night and Wednesday morning for Ireland as temperatures could drop to -6C or -7C locally in parts of the northwest, west and southwest.
