Hoping against all hope for snow in Louth tonight.

Was just looking at the UK Met Office website, some of the jobs they are advertising sound so interesting - wish I knew a bit about weather!

temp rising here from -3 a hour ago to -1.6 now and still very cloudy

Mr Benevolent

I'm wondering if there's a huge anaprop ahead of the real stuff. Some false images on the UK radar picture

hmm strange it's still dry there over in Westport.

Yeah, the radar images are saying that it should be precipitating ...well...something here in Limerick for the last half hour (or so), but it's as dry as bone.

its snowing lightly in Cork city..nice icy flakes falling from the sky...I hope this lasts..nothing melting yet as it settles on cars.

IMBACKLATER

just poped outside, very cloudy overhead now, and also not feeling as mild, but i imagine it will be cold cold rain falling from the skies over westport,

Mr Benevolent

Bouys off Cork and Kerry are showing air temps of up to +10C!

Very odd.

IMBACKLATER

yes!! great stuff. if it's snow that close to the sea surely it will be snow further inland.

IMBACKLATER

its cuming down fairly heavy now, but they are very small flakes, but no sleet, they are swirling around and air born, sticking to the roof of the car outside,im a mile from the ocean!!!

danni2

Nice to here it's snowing in the west, It should definatly snow here as im well inland

IMBACKLATER

what are the chances of this turning to sleet or rain by morning and spoiling the party, ?

darkmaster2

Its after turning to sleet here now. temperature rising.

i'm a afraid it's quite likely unfortunately because you are so close to the sucky Atlantic. where as for someone like danni2 who is further inland it should remain as snow for longer.

northtipp

just starting to snow here now in nenagh light snow but it is snow all the same so weel see how lond it last before it turns to rain temp -1.3

Mr Benevolent

no it's not.
the front is just slow-moving. it'll hit dublin around dawn- which is perfect if you are looking for snow because thats the coldest time of the night

Mr Benevolent

Mea culpa

I'll set me alarm for 7am - bit of the white stuff wouldn't go amiss!

Its So Easy

Well in Cork city there is no snow or anything else for that matter. It is really really cold outside though.

nacho libre

it has started to snow ever so lightly here now.
