White Xmas 2004

lucernarian

This Polar Low that Weathercheck speaks of, how likely is it to affect places like North Leinster? :cough:LOUTH:cough:

How bad could this snow get? I've also noticed that the NRA measuring station on the Dunleer bypass is indicating falling temperatures. At 10 AM it was 0.5 celsius and road temp is now -1.1 celsius.

Fingers crossed

Yep, sleety hail faling here in Dublin (Killester).

Ye south Dublin and Wiclow will do well out of that shower
i scraped a 15 minute snow shower out of the edge
of it so not so bad..and still that feature to the north
grows and threatens... Areas within the PL are
reporting falls of 7cm's p/h!!!

No snow in Tramore anyway Apparently we had snow showers but I was in bed so didnt bloody well notice! Snow better come down here, tho the sun is out so probs wont stick. Heavy clouds over the sea, but not really over the town itself!

Starting to snow here again just west of Arklow in South co Wicklow

zap

just started snowing again, 1.5c arklow by-pass

In the past 20 mins the sky above me has become totally grey and snow is falling pretty heavy, not much of a wind behind it do so not really acumlating but a pretty sight, if theres a hard frost later the roads will be like ice rings.

Calibos

Well it seems the WCC secret impenetrable snow shield which covers Bray and environs is still holding out!

Yoda

Blue skies to the north, wind died down a bit. 2°C.

dregin

White Christmas in Cavan and still snowing fairly heavily

Mossy Monk

snow flakes in Dungarvan

radiospan

Wet snow showers in Douglas.

DEmeant0r

There was some snow in Galway, but it stopped now

Chong

We keep getting the odd snow shower but it wont lie, its bitterly disappointing.

Gonzo

snowing heavy again in dunshaughlin, co, meath.... its prolly only a quick 10 minute shower but north dublin can expect this shower to hit them in about 15 minutes

DEmeant0r

Oh wait it seems to be snowing in Galway again, it's very light snow though:(

Sully

Still awaiting snow in Tramore Do they know its Christmas time down here at all?! ;P

White here in Westport. The snow is largish spheres, not quite hail. You can see the grass through it... but a white Christmas it is!

Bah humbug, no snow in my corner of Achill. Incredibly stormy though.

lucernarian

As Eth0 said, it's snowing in Drogheda although at the mo its very light and is barely halting the inevitable - the melting of the snow. Any further updates on the Polar Low situation? Is it on course to strike late this afternoon and who will be affected?

Gonzo

been snowing solidly for past 30 minutes here and dublin will get it very soon if not already... this is a decent prolonged snow shower... great stuff..

Almost forgot, we had a short but deafening thunderstorm at about 3am. Huge hailshower now. Hills look great so I might get a photo when it's over.

Again im feeding off the edge of showers.

The PL is on course and should be in NI by around 4pm
the problem is that theres a warm core associated with the
feature and may make the snow very wet and turn it to sleet
in some areas, although the core is likely to be off shore.
Whatever happens there'll be alot of precip and gales
in Eastern Ulster and Much of Leinster this evening
