I'd say about 100% to be honest, whether it sticks is another matter.

Unless you only moved recently to Navan, they had 6 or so inches of snow 2 months ago.

Rain shower here. Wont be long now till the showers are exclusively of snow but it will be the early hours of morning before this is the case in the East.

Paddy.1

Showers all but gone here now. Just windy and cold. 1.1c. Radar dosen't look to promising either for me with showers confined to the coast.

Hopefully might scape another passing shower tomorrow before winter is gone forever.:)

The radar looks rather promising to my eyes. I'm still seeing shower intensification out at sea. An interesting night is ahead.

The intensity of the showers will be up and down through the night. For us in the East we need the intense ones just so something makes it here.

Since there was a rain shower here an hour ago it feels very noticeably colder now.

nacho libre

snowing steadily now and it's starting to accumulating everywhere!! if this keeps up there should be at least two inches by morning!!!!:D

squonk

1.7degC and a DP of -1... but the temp is holding at 1.7 for nearly the last hour. Grrr... I think this will be a write off as far as I'm concerned. We've no precip around here just now anyway.

Gonzo

we prolly wont get anything till tomorrow in the east, the showers are mainly all in the west and north. Showers from atlantic based cold snaps rarely make it to the east unless there is some serious organised bands of snow with high winds dragging them this far.

I would love some snow tommorrow (in Dublin), I'm off and dying to try out my new camera!

There is a chance tonight but tomorrow there will be some snow - it will probrably stick for a while too but should melt quickly.

darkman2

Here is the low that will effect us to our North west




That was a Polar low - it wont be when it reaches Ireland but despite a mild sector to the SW it should fall almost entirely of snow, and heavy snow too, leading to some accumulations at all levels.

kerry1960

it's work time at this ungodly hour , but delighted to report a light snowcover 1.2c , hopefully more to come:D

TheNog

Please forgive me for this stupid question

But is thunder not the result of a warm and cold front coming together?

Or does a cold front push up a warm front therefore creating a possible snow fall

Paddy.1

Woke up to a slight dusting, snow shower just passed. But to those in the east who think they are missing out, don't worry, you are not missing much. So far, I actually had more snow lying at the beginning of feb. (and God knows that was pitiful).

Temp did not fall below freezing last night, +0.1c at its lowest point, now 0.7c. Pressure 1011.0 mb steady.
