Danno

your just jealous

actually i kinda guesed there was something wrong with it. the last one is the 11.30 readings.

Danno

Intense red blob over earthman...

Mothman

Looks like there is precipitation over Louth. still some red echoes to hit Earthman.

I'm willing it to move slightly north, but considering that the 10m wind is from north, no amount of will power will work.

Temp has dropped to 3.4C
Wind has eased just a little to 10mph.
Good thing is that dewpoint is now -1.5C

I see it I feel it I hear it.
Snow is now mixed with very hard hail-I'm begining to wonder is it Greenland I'm in :eek: This by the way is definitely gonna make its way over to Irish1 and Tullow, looking at the direction its taking...

Anyways I'm off to bed! Here endeth my reports for the nigh, my jeep looks like an igloo

Think I've had a RH reading down to 18%, but don't even have a figure down to 50% most months.

Mothman

Dewpoint -2.2C, at least something is heading in right direction :rolleyes:

I cant access any radar except the bbc one, does anyone know if what weathercheck mentioned ealier has formed? Or is there anything on the way to Dublin? Otherwise I can just go to bed!

And down the snow is still coming thick and fast maybe I'll stay up :P

Go to bed

Danno can concur. There is a little light percipitation showing up on the 2345 radar. Nothing like what is over Earthman.

embee

Precipitation in Louth?

Not here there isn't. Oh, where is the SNOW?!

Danno

0.5c here.

Felix theres some echoes forming to the south west of the isle of man with dublin on their sleeve-but go to bed they wont be with you till the small hours-off to bed with you!

Now for star trek

The little bit that was there has moved south into Meath

Scubadevils

ok, thanks all. Will set the alarm for the wee hours and see whats happening then!

Close to two inches now I'd say and pelting it down

Feck star trek

Danno

Rightio, change is underway,

A large area of midlevel cloud has broken, the temperatures are plummeting, and there is a big shower starting to push in over me, it is building too!

At long last!

South Wicklow looks like it is getting plastered!

Mothman

Partly cloudy, temp gradually dropping, now 3.1C. Grass temp is hovering around 0C and wind has dropped to 6mph.

As someone said earlier WC's forecast was more accurate than MetEireann (and don't forget the first mention of a white Christmas was here).

We had 2-4 inches here in Portlaoise this morning, just enough to do this before it melted:

True. I had an appointment at the Hospital this morning in Portlaoise and it was covered!

Danno

Where in Laois are you Wisteria?

Danno

3 minutes to go...

Then the Metcheck Rainrate Radar updates! Wohoo!

Danno

No snow here either. Looks like Laois had it too good last night! :eek:
