I think that the people who have been predicting widespread whiteness are being a little over-optimistic.

My Prediction : Most areas, particularly in the east will remain totally snow-free. I know nothing about meteorology, but am just using simple common sense

Merry Christmas

Sadly I think you're right, I'm just back from the pub and if anything it's warmer than it was earlier. Still, here's hoping.

Happy Christmas lads.

southeast, Dublin in firing line

SantaHoe

Ok, starting to snow in Dublin now.
Very light and slow, but sticking.

Just looking out the window I can't see any signs of snow, just frost.

SantaHoe

Still lightly snowing here. (Dublin Northside)
Rooftops have a shallow covering of snow, grass is still patchy.

ninebeanrows

I got hardly nothing a 15 minute light snow shower
with perhaps a dusting on tables and grass

Mothman

No snow or frost here. Temp at 2C is too high. Just had brief rain shower. More showers to come though, so maybe................

Agent Smith

very slight snow here in Killiney co dublin this morning, looks unlikely to stick unless it gets going heavyly soon

ninebeanrows

light snow flurries on and off over here with a light
dusting on tables and rooftops. May i just
say what a beautiful Christmas day

zap

SantaHoe

Pff who turned off the snow? *looks accusingly at mother nature*
Still, it looks purdy... d'you think once it stops - that's it? or are we due a few more of these?

Snowing heavily-everywhere very white good covering now \o/

Agent Smith

Snowing like mad still here in Arklow and the sky has closed in all round, no sign of a clearance anywhere.

________________________________________


Thats the NRA report for 8 at the Arklow bypass

It says roadstate snow which I can confirm as it's very white here anyway

As usual the automated station cant tell that the precipitation is snow and always rain but I can confirm that it should read heavy snowfall not heavy rainfall

Agent Smith

it's just really cold here

zap

stopped snowing now will it snow heavily after dinner?
