    Just goes to show that even Dundee in Scotland where the most intense North Sea Streamers are hitting since yesterday.....still has less on the ground than Coastal Dublin and Bray got in the 2 hour Ninja Northerly Streamer that drifted onshore back in January. We got 5cm out of that here in Bray.

    If they don't know what graupel is, I'd suggest they may not be keen weather watchers! :pac:

    This is a windy event. In exposed areas it will not sit long.

    Very similar in many aspects. Uncanny if you ask me. We live and hope. Saturday looks more interesting than the Thursday event.

    I kind of would have expected more than that in Scotland. Being completely honest, we had more than that in D5 a couple of weeks ago. I am sure the scottish highlands on the other hand is a very different story !

    https://www.met.ie/forecasts/national-forecast
    A bit of a change in the Meteireann forecast. Previously, showers had been forecast for the Eastern half of the country. The latest forecast limits most of the showers to the East, North East and North Midlands. Bad news for those of us in the South East.
    As for later in the week, I can't remember this morning's forecast exactly, but I am fairly sure that it was quite a bit more vague about when/whether the snow would turn to rain. Now, they seem to be fairly clear that the snow will turn to rain for Munster and Connacht by Thursday evening at the latest. Of course, there is still a lot of variation between the models, so that situation could easily change. However, for now, Meteireann is going for quite mild conditions on Friday for Munster and South Leinster.

    Don't think that contradicts what I said. Look at the top of the walls, along the bottom of the walls and the grass blades still visible through a lot of the snow. Its only starting to approach how the ground and grass looked in Bray after 2 hours of a ninja streamer.... but thats after 36 hours of streamers from the North Sea. Either the intensity isn't up to much more in Scotland than it is here or Dundee has managed to slip between most of their Streamers.

    Overall point is, I’m not overly jealous of the UK atm, they seem to be having an underwhelming ‘event’ so far too and despite the fact that their radar returns look much more impressive they dont have a huge amount to show for it yet.

    Well it's more than we have here right now that's for sure. Plus the snow two weeks ago barely stuck around.

    If it snowed Tiesday morning it only thawed on Thursday evening in Bray.

    save the trouble and jazz it up


    Is all that precipitation over Meath/Louth still light graupel? It seems to be pretty persistent stuff, so is it sticking there or is it meaningless?

    It was nothing to be honest, it was light and melted on impact, but its turning to snow now
