Heaviest it’s been all morning in Kildare now

Can see the showers developing nicely (looking N/NE) on the Howth webcam. They definitely have the more convective look now.

Yeah mate, definitely!

Good chunk of precipitation leaving Dublin's mad cow roundabout junction and heading down the M7.

Hope it develops a bit more to it's southern edge!

Can everyone in Cork city put their freezer outside and open its door on Thursday to try to keep the temperature down please.

carltonleon

looking at the precip radar Louth seems to be getting hit a bit at the moment, anyone confirm if this is snow or rain falling ?

Slashermcguirk

That's what you've taken from 170 pages of posts? :pac:

Met Eireann's official forecasts seem to have been fairly on the money so far for Dublin. Wintry showers and cold as opposed to snow.

As there are some flurries now over the country it gives me a little more hope of a window of quite beefy showers from late tonight until Wednesday. The thickness should be a little lower, and the upper temps slightly colder in that period. I am not sure what to make of the frontal snow approach on Thursday/Friday. I am hoping it will do the job, but I think we need a little more resolution on it, which we should have by tomorrow.

Little snowy old me

Good morning to all my fellow cold lovers. Its been a long time since I have witnessed such intense drying of land and flooding. The fields beside me have been waterlogged since Christmas... this morning it looks like there was never any water there. Great for us who have had weeks of wet weather.

That breeze is brutal. But I love it. Nothing more refreshing than a biting easterly or northerly against your face when out for a walk. Brings the blood to your cheeks and my grandmother swore by it to kill germs etc on the skin.

Looking interesting towards the end of the week. I'm almost hoping that the frontal snow event doesn't happen so that we stay locked I the cold. Sets up more snow opportunities for us.

Nothing in Offaly. No snow either.

Wind direction looks to be on our side for a decent fetch across the Irish Sea into Dublin. Just missing Angelsea I think/hope.

So basically you can’t read. Or troll for that matter

Oh it’s trying very very hard here on the north side of cork city to snow. I’m literally looking out my window willing it to snow

The Isle of Man shadow is at it again.

Splitting the precipitation.... Hitting parts of Louth and South Dublin but missing North Dublin.. Bit precipitation seems to be very light generally.

It's the ball snow that's falling in dunleer

Between Thursday and Sunday there looks like a whole lot of rain falling for cork city. How much of that will be snow?

Very little or none. You'd need to be north of Tipp and Kilkenny by the looks of things.

I find it unusual that where the bulk of the showers are showing, the temperatures in the greater Dublin region are all between 2c and 4c whereas the east Cork region is 0c to 2c or 3c.

Cork has a longer sea track and a milder sea!

Ww are just cooler than them I suppose :cool::pac:

pad199207

It’s a start I suppose

Starting to spit dandruff here in N Cork.

While nothing is settling yet, we have had plenty of snow flurries in Dublin 5 (north dublin) already today
