Jesus lads there are some on here that must be / have been a terror after going on a first date.......checking their phones every 2 minutes for that text, will she text, won't she text, why hasn't she texted me, the signs were good......then the text comes and you go on the second date and it starts all over again or else you come back deflated.......she's no Emma!!!!

Chill lads, it's coming to an east coast near you!!

You will do well tonight Gonzo. You'll have a covering by morning.

hopefully! at this stage i'd be happy with 3cm to 5cm. The wales shadow will probably start to make it's impact by tomorrow evening so this window of opportunity is very short.

A bit more shower activity shown up on Met Eireann radar in the last half hour.

Looks like they are heading for Dublin / North Wicklow if they make it!

Temperatures here today:

High Temperature 3.3 °C 14:11:46
Low Temperature 2.6 °C 02:43:49

Wind too strong for any of the showers to stay around long, or settle at all for that matter, hopefully the cold with deepen.

very disappointing here today, no better than yesterday in reality, a few random grains blowing around in the wind. If tomorrow ends up being not much better than today or yesterday then this easterly will be pretty much a bust. The models are predicting little to no snow cover until Thursday.

Even if there is very little snow for most from this event we do at least have very cold temperatures at present which is a change from the more usual mild murky Atlantic stuff we get at this time of year.

Very light snow on and off here in south Laois since around 3pm, a few mammatus clouds spotted too!

I'm really liking the line of those showers off the north Welsh coast, looks like they're bound for my part of the country this evening!

Currently +2.1c with a dewpoint of -2.2c in a brisk ENE'ly 15mph.

ICON has the Thursday event a primarily south and south east coast event. Front doesn't have much energy once it reaches the east coast. Let's see how it stacks up against the three big models.

Hence why it`s particularly important that they be kept fed in these cold wintry conditions.

You beat me to it! Thank you!

Heavy shower now but not big flakes! D.24

It will be interesting to see if any convection starts from Holyhead Southwards along the coast of Wales. Zero thus far today. I know conditions later this evening will be more favourable so we will see.

Think these showers are going to pep up in the next few hours

Another area of of snow has formed north of Anglesey but this time a bit further north than the area heading for south Dublin so this second area will most likely hit north Dublin, hopefully keeping all the Dubs happy

At the moment, the Northside bound snow looks to be both a larger area and heavier.

Easy enough in the back garden, but wildlife generally live in the wild.

But they come in nearer human habitation in severe weather. So it is good to put extra out in severe weather. A great kindness.

Sitting outside in the sun. Kind of hard to see screen but I think gfs takes snow further North than previous run.

Out for a very cold walk in West Clare and to my immense surprise there is grauple/snow pellets falling lightly.

Oh ye of little faith! Clare will have its day in the sun snow yet....

Any ideas where someone could pick up bird feeders and bird food / nuts in the centre of Dublin?

Smaller patch of precipitation but similar intensity to what hit Drogheda a few hours ago....and we all remember the reports of heavy sticking snow/graupel we got from all the Drogheda folks earlier don’t we...... :rolleyes: ;)

wicklowdub

Noticeably heavier grapuel now for the last 20 mins or so in Shankill D18. Wind is blowing it into little accumulations here and there.

Low of 1.6c here last night and high of 3.5c today. Serious stuff.

cold.stream

Light graupel flurries, occasional moderate bursts with the pellets swirling in the wind. I reckon there will be some areas thay could do reasonably well out of the next 48 hrs, just need a decent feed of moderate ppn to set up shop. Its a real pity, if we had had the same parameters that the UKs east coast will have tonight/tomorrow we would have been looking at an event to remember.

Some of this would be cool and another snow type to add to the list

It has gone suddenly very dark out here. The wind has dropped too. And clouds are heavier. We shall see. .

there seems to be a heavier shower north of Anglesey at the moment, hopefully it has my name on it but I'd be happy for anyone to get it.
