Snow in Derry apparently so it won't be long.


As for Kerry. Maybe...no one knows!

looks like our neighbours are in for another pasting.NOT FAIR.
A weather system, moving up from the south and west of England overnight into central England and Wales, will bring the white stuff.
Sky News weather presenter Lucy Verasamy said: "Although there's something of a lull, don't be deceived, more snow is on its way tonight and tomorrow morning.
"It'll turn to rain along English Channel coastal counties and the south-east, including London.
"But, for remaining areas of southern Britain, there'll be some significant snow - there's a possibility of 10cms accumulating in some spots.

I really dont think we're gonna get snow again, we're not that lucky to get it twice in the same week these days.... especially in carlow as it is only 57m above sea level

I dont want it anyway, sick of it all now at this point.....

Lol, know how you feel, got more than enough IMBY, as long as I can catch my flight to China on Monday any sneachta can stay the hell away from now on, though it is pretty to look at. The excitement for a one cm "dumping" tomorrow hardly seems worth it!
The six inches or so left in my back garden will still be there on Monday though probably only down to an inch or two by then, which is fine by me.

If there are blizzards tomorrow morning this post never happened :pac::pac::D

Latest metoffice radar shows heavier precip behind the main weak front. Play back the loop.

this point was raised before, about the disparity sometimes between the radio and tv forecasts. you'd swear they were different forecasting organisations. however, that said i've not seen a tv forecast today, so they maybe in tune over what's going to happen tonight and over the next couple of days . i'm eagerly awaiting the tv forecast at 6:55pm.

I think there's probably already close to 5 foot above maybe 600 metres, heaven knows what its like above 800 metres on the likes of Lug, must genuinely be an avalanche risk in places.
I don't think they meant 5 foot of snow from this coming event, at least i hope so (I hope they do ).
