    Just a quick question. Where is this snow that may hit Dublin/East/Southeast from 6pm come from? I don't see anything that could possibly be headed our way?

    I've just logged on having been off since 2.30.
    I'm in south kilkenny - north kilkenny, kilkenny city, laois, carlow, and east kilkenny ( I didn't know there WAS an east part to kilkenny!!!) all got snow and it just missed me!!!
    It rained lightly, froze and now ther's an ice rink outside my front door. and NO snow.

    I'm extermely jealous!!!

    What happened to that snowthat was coming down through wicklow, kildare and offaly???

    Wolf, the snow is getting heavier here at the moment,. The shower rolled down from Mayo like a black cloak falling from the sky. I hope it makes its way down to you in tact! :)
    thanks deep. was just gonna post asking you how heavy it was. All i got at the moment is high cloud approaching from the north. It looks to be coming directly at me in a S or SSW flow. Keep us posted on how things are in Choooom

    Weakened and died off as it moved further south.

    No probs Wolf. The shower came in very quick. I was watching an anvil head to the far north while walking around town but did not think much. By the time I got back home the shower was beginning to hit. I am still shocked at how rapidly it moved in. :)

    Visibility is now very much reduced. A sure sign the snow is intensifying :):)

    yep i instructed it to go down to you without breaking up. let's hope it makes it as far south as possible without dying so others get it too.

    Met Eireann were absolutely bang on with their forecast of snow mainly being in the NW.

    Will be interesting to see what comes in from the Irish Sea tonight. Precip does look confined to costal counties though, I cannot see showers getting far beyond that.

    If you looked at the sky out the window here in Rathmines you would think it was the middle of summer - Clear blue sunny skies

    The precipitation seems to be dying out just as it approaches the east coast (that last shower for Dublin is an example)

    With a northwest wind at Dublin airport and a temperature of -2°C, I would imagine this cold air is killing off the warm inflow a few miles offshore. We'll need those stronger northeasterly winds later for things to change

    Looks from the radar like some showers may hit Dublin soon enough
