    Temp is dropping here again,you'll be glad to know and I'll bet if you go out with a lamp and examine that rain it's sleety rain.It must be light?

    It probably will change back to wet snow at times with you or even all snow if heavier.


    Did I hear someone ask about Cork?

    Higher probability of snow there- especially inland and at height [no guarantee] but the precip that hits you will have traveled the scenic route via annamoe actually down through the spine of the country and then into Cork.
    It might take the N7... [I'm actually serious] having already went up the N11 and the R752 [neither traditional routes to Cork according to the RAC or the AA]

    This is good [from a snow hopers point of view]as it's all land and interacting with some colder air ahead of it.

    I'm liking the sound of this!! Thanks Black Briar - let's hope you're right - otherwise i'll be after you tomorrow! LOL!:D

    Just travelled from Beaumont Hos (near Santry) to home. Well over 3 hours for a journey that's usually 75mins. Road conditions awful with slush on margins and between lanes holding the surface water.

    Was whiteout on arrival at 15:30 at Beaumont with roads conditions deteriorating very quickly. Shower just passed in time. Sleet all the way home though was near settling near Sandyford.

    Was thinking for days I wouldn't be making the journey today, but this morning decided to chance it. Was worse than expected this evening and surprised that SC is reporting rain!

    I got rain hail sleet and snow today, been pretty eventful :)

    OMG!! Just spend 3 hours in traffic for a journey to sandyford that normally takes 10 minutes. How could you do it to me snow!? Not a guard in sight to direct traffic through sandyford/dundrum. The M50 was a mess. So much snow was falling and it was complete slush on the roads.

    just looking at the bbc monthly
    outlook..http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/monthly_outlook.shtml

    One sorry mess out there - all the rain is being trapped under the snow, it's like a big lake with a crusty white top.

    I was hoping for a third morning of lying snow, but going by the radar, if all that comes up here and falls as rain, it'll all be gone.

    Can you imagine what the mountains are like!

    I'm pretty sure they said that there would be showers moving into the north and west on Thurs but i may be wrong - i should leave it up to the experts really - hope i gave you a little bit of hope! We're the same down here in Cork although we did get one or two showers not nearly as much as the east:( Cork City i mean not county

    jean byrne said in her forecast this front on the irish sea would move in over leinster/munster overnight...suppose until then no snow here unless an odd scattered shower. waiting for snow is like waiting for santa..must be in bed asleep before it arrives!
