So is the snow over for north Dublin? Was pretty heavy earlier but didn't stick, stopped a couple of hours ago and there seems to be little trace of it now.

ninebeanrows

Oh no i assure you of at least another 30mins of snow

Very close run thing the main batch
possibly stating too far north

Supercell

Some serious looking echos on the 1600 radar to the northwest , I'd guess mayo and Donegal are interesting places to be at the moment, the whole movement appears to be shifting eastwards (see attached file for radar high res radar animation) which is good news for us on the east coast (if you like snow, going to be an interesting night).

Gonzo

a few light flurries falling outside but i dont think its gonna amount to much as the radar shows nothing in my area but mayo, donegal and most of northern ireland looks alive with even more snow than there is in scotland.... sky news weather issued a warning half an hour ago for northern ireland around now and eastern ireland for tonight with blizzard conditions and up to 10cm of snow to come

Anyone notice how the snow in that radar image seems to dissapate almost exactly at the wicklow and dublin borders!!

Jaysus, Donegal's getting hammered in the last frame of that gif, and that cloud is headed SE fast...

Em, it looks like its dissapating even before the last frame or two of the gif

If not already reported, a good covering of snow (2cm, no more) in North Co. Meath/ South Co. Cavan since 6am, some heavy snow showers all day keeping it topped up, now its become more sleety since 3pm.

Gonzo

the light flurries have now turned into huge flakes bigger than 2 pound coins and they are coming down thick and fast... hopefully this will last a while.... heading its way towards north dublin once again

Nope it is dissapating unfortunately..a few of the bigger echos have made it to Dublin just about during the day..the ones in the north at the moment look like they just about might make it here..will be touch and go though.

well to an extent
If you look carefully, you will see it's all been heading more south than east and dumping its load as it does so.

If its any consolation for snow lovers, the patch up north now is wider and more extensive than anything that has moved south so far.

Supercell

Wow ..the 16:30 radar looks very good !!! , if anything its getting bigger..come to papa..Gonzo if you are under that would expect its really coming down and likely to last for a while!!

Snowing again now. Better then earlier attempts! (Tramore)

Give it up dude will ya. Its an interest, he likes it, u dont. Big bloody well wow. Dont dismiss the man with an interest in the weather, if he likes it then leave him be. A lot of people are interested in the Weather, maybe not other things or maybe other things to.

If you dont like it, then your not what I would consider a true friend. Espically to come here and give out about him. Anyway, lets stay on topic shall we ^_^.

Noticed the clouds getting fairly big and dark over the sea, not much over land tho.

OMG the 17:00 radar is simply FANTASTIC for dubs!! Weathercheck any moment now for you my friend.

Supercell

Looking at prolonged snow with this wheee!!

Scubadevils

I think getting heavier here now, wind picking up a lot too

I'm in South Donegal between Donegal Town and Ballyshannon. It was a bit white this morning at 10am but it has since hailstoned, then thawed, now rain...

lucernarian

Jesus Christ! 3 cms of snow has been falling here near Drogheda in the last 25 mins! The prediction for it to arrive at 5 PM was almost perfect! Blizzards here they come

I feel sorry for my sister's boyfriend who was supposed to drive here in 1 hour's time. I wonder how long this heavy snow will last for...

ninebeanrows

That 1700 radar of longfields shows that North Meath is getting hammered....
