Overnight dusting here in D10 and a 10 minute dusting just ended there now. Grass is quite crunchy. Was also treated to quite a nice sunrise this morning. Heading to the Phoenix park with the dogs shortly.

Wind direction not going to be much help for Wicklow / S Dublin by the looks of it today.

Update from Met Eireann...


Thursday: Sleet and snow will slowly extend northwards from the southwest across much of Munster, Connacht and Leinster, with snow accumulations leading to hazardous conditions. Highest temperatures of 1 to 3 degrees. Feeling colder in fresh and gusty southeast winds, strongest in western and southwestern counties.

Thursday night: Remaining breezy overnight with sleet and snow continuing to fall over much of the east, midlands and north leading to further accumulations. However, precipitation will turn to rain in parts of the south and west. Lowest temperatures of -1 to +2 degrees with fresh southeasterly winds.

Friday: Some lingering falls of sleet and snow in the eastern half of the country, with outbreaks of rain elsewhere. More persistent rain will move into western counties during the evening. Southeast breezes will strengthen during the day, becoming strong and gusty in coastal counties. Highest temperatures generally of 1 to 4 degrees, however less cold in southwestern counties with highs of 5 to 8 degrees.

Friday night: A wet, windy night with rain turning to snow over the north, east and midlands, leading to some accumulations. Cold night for many, with lowest temperatures of -1 to +2 degrees however much of Munster and southern Connacht will be less cold with lows of 4 to 7 degrees. Fresh to strong and gusty southeast winds.

At the moment wind is due east. Need just north of east or ENE for goodness to south Dublin.

Hoping today can bring more heavy showers and give a decent cover, if not Thursday morning is looking good through Thursday day, we live in hope, roll on the next few days, snow shovel at the ready lol

Yeah, and looks like it's been pretty constant overnight.

Looking at the models, it seems the wind direction may improve for South Dublin & Wicklow this afternoon, but unfortunately it seems pretty damn dry too.

Villain on RTE Radio 1 now giving the lowdown on graupel!

Looks to improve later on this afternoon for a switch to the ENE and into Wednesday Morning

Steps into the technical thread for a look and backs rapidly away to the chat thread to enjoy the snow/graupel currently falling outside my window!

Does it look like the North West will get any appreciable depth or occurrence of snow during this event,

Wondering from a farm animal perspective?
