Well from what the webcam shows. Doesn't look too sticky

If you look at the UKMO radar over the last couple of hours, the area of ppn is making no progress north but is edging south.

Gonzo · 03-01-2008 4:50pm

big clearence here now sky almost full blue but there is a big shower clipping to my south, it cud be heading towards the blanch area

super_furry · 03-01-2008 4:52pm

Is the weather due to stay like this for the next few days or is it just a small cold snap?

Quick close all south facing windows I hear Gerry murphy is on the roof at glasnevin with a diesel motored flame torch...:D

darkman2 · 03-01-2008 4:54pm

Snowbie if you look to the east I see an organised band of showers, or one big shower. Can you see the same thing or is that your shower?Cause its heading my direction which ever it is. Looks snowy.

JackieChan · 03-01-2008 4:54pm

First couple of flakes landed here in D8...and as quick its stopped

Gonzo · 03-01-2008 4:58pm

just getting the very edge of a shower thats clipping to my south, large blue area to my north and east. 0C with lying snow and water droplets starting to freeze.

ninebeanrows · 03-01-2008 4:59pm

Yes looks snowy to my east, although perhaps a tad south of me.

ninebeanrows · 03-01-2008 5:01pm

Here comes the snow, lets hope shes a good'un

SEPT 23 1989 · 03-01-2008 5:01pm

ninebeanrows · 03-01-2008 5:06pm

Didly squat came of it.

I cant make out the cloud from the sky in the east now, too dark, this is where the lampost come in to use!!!

03-01-2008 5:09pm

Well at least you are getting something

Nothing here and no prospect of anything.
Closing the case book on this one down here.
Have fun up north!

GFS thinks ya might get something, be it light, but still it's not like were forecast a blizzard!

Snowbie · 03-01-2008 5:11pm

Finally we should get some heavy stuff here in N Dublin in the next 20mins

Villain · 03-01-2008 5:11pm

You'll be eating that hat Black Briar I won't see a flake between Wicklow and Carlow

LookingFor · 03-01-2008 5:13pm

Was/is snowing in D15, but dying down now..there've always been fairly large breaks in the cloud, so all these showers have been pretty short lived here.

On the plus side, though, it did look more "snowy" than previous showers..even if the flakes weren't very big.

ninebeanrows · 03-01-2008 5:14pm

There are some beefy looking things out there.

If only we could swing the wind to NE, we'd be away!

03-01-2008 5:15pm

Well I suppose thats encouraging,they are usually spot on within 6 to 12hrs.

But really the signs arent there I think.

Pity because the dp and air temps are perfect!

I have to drive to the whest tomorrow so I'll be on the m50 and down the N4/M4-might see something transitional on route but It should be rain alas.

lucernarian · 03-01-2008 5:16pm

We're in the middle of that yellow blob:D

Been snowing here since 15:15 with a 10 minute break. There's now a centimetre on the driveway. Was very heavy at times, pretty much a blizzard but right now it's moderate.

Radar over plays snow though.
Brighter echoes when it is snow dont necessarally mean the same as when it's rain.
It also gets caught out with stuff that doesnt make it to the ground so the radar makes it look like theres more there than there is.

Wind has been NE here all day by the way and the temp rock solid shy of 2.5c.

ninebeanrows · 03-01-2008 5:20pm

Thank god for last minute upgrades eh, look how far the -8c line ended up going.
