Snow watch II:Snow Harder

Wisteria

Hopeful to get some tonight

Danno

There might be enough left on the shower over Meath by the time it gets to Mountmellick, according to the radar it is en route over the Bog of Allen.

still at it out there but very lightly now
Cant see ballymoyle hill to the north east or the red lights on it which could mean theres another burst of this heading down here.

/I'm off anyways

Danno

Goodnight Earthman!

Enjoy the snow!

From snow-starved South Laois!

Wisteria

I really wish I was in earthmans place now....

Wisteria

Temp here now 0.9C

kleefarr

Kilkenny City outskirts (E)

Patchy cloud. No precipitation. very cold. feels like zero or less, but only just got up so may feel chillier than actually is.

Any reports from Carlow, Kildare, Dub, would be welcome as drive to Dub airport happens in 1.5 hours.

Danno

0.3c here at the moment.

Might best to go through Durrow kleefar, some intense echos over North Wicklow, which I feel will hit the N9/M9 around Castledermot, in 1 hour or so.

Wisteria

Now -1.1C here

and its bloody freezing

Danno

Wisteria, if your temps are plummeting, then there is a clear spell coming over you, this is a good sign for an approaching shower.

Temperature is 0.3c here still. Another blanket of cloud overhead.

I won't be rushing, obviously. Have left 3- 3.5 hours to get to Dub airport.
Will bare that in mind though. Thanks.

Wisteria

No change in Temp Danno still -1.1C. Very cloudy overhead.

billy the squid

shannon radar must be borked.

Danno

Should be snow in Mountmellick, radar shows light to moderate precip there at 0127z

Danno

Shanon radar is always missing bits and pieces, must be a budget model!

Oh gosh don't move it there, someone could nick it, or worse even, stab it!

Only jokin LOL

Danno

Everyone gone to bed?

This is turning out to be a non-event tonight. Seems like pressure is too high, and the winds are too light to whip up showers, excluding the very SE counties.
